A revolution within a revolution, *Music for the Jilted Generation* kicked rave culture\'s smiley face upside down. While the British government cracked down on the anarchic party scene, The Prodigy doubled down on the chaos, speeding up hardcore\'s pummeling breakbeats and pianos and adding heavy-metal guitars to acid squelch. The result was a record as invigorating as any in electronic music—a hyperspeed journey through movie samples, minor-key hooks, and the sound of breaking glass. Dancing among the ruins never felt so good.

The Prodigy's response to the sweeping legislation and crackdown on raves contained in 1994's Criminal Justice Bill is an effective statement of intent.
