And this is most definitely not a compliment... ouch!

I'm a big fan, wouldn't call them genius but they always get a good reception when they're played in the clubs (the clubs i go to anyway lol) and i've heard they put on an incredible live show.

So I think we're reaching a conclusion here..... they're a good live act, make music that is alright and a bit polarizing at times... but there doesn't seem to be a strong concensus that they are genius... I think, and after reading people's thoughts on this board, "musical genius' is far too generous a term for the Prodigy...

I liked the "Oasis of Electronica" tag... a couple of great, groundbreaking albums, then they declined into sorta ok record making while keeping a strong following as a live act, putting on some pretty good shows... sounds..... a whole lot like Oasis...

Looking forward to this if the mix is good enough. Exceptional live band so here's hoping that it captures them at their best.

Music For The Jilted Generation is a great album, but their change of sound really threw me off. I liked their grittier stuff way better.

I'm not a fan. Quite alot of 90s electronica I actually find quite cold and not as inventive and engaging as some say.

I would say neither. They are very good though, my favourite is fat of the land.

Their first 3 records are the only ones worth getting.
