ReviewsRanked #20 on Spin's List of the "Top 20 Albums of the Year.", Included in Rolling Stone's "Essential Recordings of the 90's.", Included in Q Magazine's "50 Best Albums of 1997.", 7 (out of 10) - "...maybe the best fusion of pseudo-rap and pseudo-punk since Rage Against The Machine...", Ranked #29 in the Village Voice's 1997 Pazz & Jop Critics' Poll., Ranked #17 in Nme's 1997 Critics' Poll., Ranked #47 in Q's "100 Greatest British Albums" - "...This was Keeping It Real, Essex-style, a uniquely British spin on contemporary US influences, rooted in the dance revolution....somewhere for rock and rave to meet in pursuit of instant thrills...", Included in Q Magazine's "90 Best Albums of the 1990s.", "'80s planet-rock rap pushing and biting like Killing Joke art-metal, with Middle Eastern and classical parts, Breeders riffs, and an L7 cover...", 3.5 Stars (out of 5) - "...packs all the visceral punch of rock at its incendiary best....populist electro punk that serves as a perfect Brit counterpart to the industrial noir of Trent Reznor or the jittery soundscapes of Wu-Tang Clan's RZA...", "...Prodigy leader and beat master Liam Howlett has made THE FAT OF THE LAND harder, more subterranean, more diverse, and more vocal-oriented than previous Prodigy records....This is dance music not about release but aggression, making it ideal party music for the end of the century..." - Rating: B, "THE FAT OF THE LAND's opening five tracks jump consistently, the bass lines either superhooky or subdub deep that it doesn’t matter.", Ranked #43 in Q's "Best 50 Albums of Q's Lifetime", "...the first block rockin' post-Oasis amyl-techno-punk album....as well as reaffirming their position as head-warping slam-kings of the pop underground, FAT OF THE LAND seems set to be the ultimate party soundtrack both sides of the ocean...", Ranked #13 on Melody Maker's List of 1997's "Albums of the Year."
