This little gem Jilted Generation is turning 22 years old today!
Crazy after so many years, this is still one of the most loved dance records & the favourite for many Prodigy fans, including me.
This album is a masterpiece, really takes you on a journey.
The album is largely a response to the corruption of the rave scene in Britain by its mainstream status as well as Great Britain’s Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, which criminalised raves and parts of rave culture. This is exemplified in the song “Their Law” with the spoken word intro and the predominant lyric, the “Fuck ’em and their law” sample. Many years later, after the controversy died down, Liam Howlett derided the title of the album, which he referred to as “stupid”, and maintained that the album was never meant to be political in the first place.
