A sick, twisted relevation of electronic mayhem
One of the first times I heard this album was blaring out of a crappy boombox in the middle of a moist, humid Thai market hawking bootleg tapes. Even with the cassette distortion, the beats hit hard and the synth-guitar riffs (most noticeable on tracks like "Voodoo People") slammed through the blurry aural walls of bartering chatter.

It's funny how music gets tied to memories, but later in Canada, when I danced to this with friends in high school, the scene from Thailand kept coming back in all its gritty, grimy glory -- how fitting!

Prodigy's always had a strong suit when it comes to catchy riffs, and classics like "Poison" drive the point home. At points, smoother melodies and wailing vocal samples coalesce with jagged beats to form a juxtaposed stew of badassery -- moments in "Break & Enter" are a perfect example.

What's amazing is this album actually works effectively as one: many electronic music "albums" are poorly-sequenced hit singles, but here, we get the powerhouse anthems and a proper comedown at the end with "The Narcotic Suite".

Edgy production, accessible riffs -- it's all here! Without doubt, Jilted is a superb classic -- not just because it's been touted so many times, but because it undeniably stands on its own feet as an epitome of the technological soul of rock 'n' roll.

A great techno soundtrack for adventure
This album has a great atmosphere to it, very cinematic. I've actually found it to be the perfect soundtrack to any graphic novel I've ever read, in the 10 years I've owned it.
Each song has so many levels to it and yet remains so unique that you never find yourself waiting for a track to end.
The highlights are "Voodoo People" "Their Law" and "Poison", but really I view the album as one long experience as opposed to individual songs.
For those who found Prodigy through "Fat of the Land", just keep in mind that this album is not as heavy and is a little more dance based. Although the three songs I listed above are basically sister tracks to "Firestarter", "Smack my B*** Up" and "Funky S***".
This is a great techno album, so buy it, plug-in and enjoy!

awesome
An aggressive, infectious dance album that forces me to stand up and move while listening to it. It has aged wonderfully! Heck, it could've been released yesterday and be hailed as an instant classic. "Voodoo People" is probably the most memorable track, but "Their Law" and "Poison" are just as good in my opinion. This is a 10!

'It's like being in a fight'
I 've been a prodigy fan since day one and I can clearly remember the first time I listened to this album. To be honest, at first I wasn't too sure, after all my love of the prodigy was based on the old skool breakbeat of 'Experience' (another 5 star album) and I was only 15. But, as I listened to it more I began to realise just what a monumentous achievement it was. This album gets better with time, and for electronic music, that is very rare indeed. Jilted was nominated for the mercury music prize on its release in '94. Jilted is Liams piéce de resistance, he is yet to produce anything remotely as good as this album. Its dark, its edgy, its loud and its agressive and thats what the prodigy is about. The intro cheekily signaled Liams intention to stay underground and then bursts straight in to the fat chunky beats and breaking glass of Break and Enter, pure class. Everything is perfect, the production, the samples, the 'fists in the air' beats. Its a real anti establishment record. Stick it on, crank up the bass and try and hear all the layers of madness that Liam lovingly crafted onto this record. An audio catharsis, buy it.

The 'Reign In Blood' of dance music
A lot has changed between 'The Experience' and this album, their debut was poppy, easy-listening and somewhat normal techno. I see it as their most danceable act with cheap ideas who seemed to work out very well. It was easy to see they were skilled, but could we expect the next album would sound like THIS?! It's much tougher, heavier, it's more alternative and at the same time extremely ambitious! Everyone should have heard Voodoo people or No Good on a party once in their life. The first mentioned has a lot of guitarparts with some kind of subtile western atmosphere and was together with 'one love' used for the 'Hackers'OST. The second has a vocal sample of Kelly Charles. Also the alternative rockscene is very charmed by the darker classics such as 'their law' and 'poison'. Overall I think everyone with a passion for danceable music should enjoy this: Horrifying babycrying, formule 1 races,shredding guitars,flute solos, extra-terrestrial life, shattered glass and beauty it's all here!
