Poptimists Album Science #6

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

This is about Proving By Science how good an album really is. But in the dog eat cat world of album ranking the Spice Girls have come something of a cropper. Only a 64% score for 'Spice' despite it being regarded by many as the 'most Pop album ever'. This is bad news for those who theorise that Pop music could and should work in album form as well as other genres. Much tutting and furrowing of brows from the white-coated PST boffins continues...

Now, if you please, join me in rating the following tracks from the (The) Prodigy's 'The Fat Of The Land' album out of ten:

[Poll #877851]



If you've not heard or can't hear the song you could either not mark it (if you dislike the artist generally) or give it a 5 for balance if you do like the artist generally.

Singles vs album tracks

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

Also this is def. an album where I favour certain album tracks over the singles. 'Diesel Power', 'Funky Shit', 'Mindfields' and 'Climbatise' are my favourites whereas the three singles, good singles as they are, never appealed to me quite as much.

'Mindfields' was supposed to be the third single but LH had second thoughts (I think XL bods were happy to do whatever he wanted as Prodigy's success was bringing them riches well beyond their expectations).

Mindfields does go on a bit.

I love the wumman's vocal on the end of SMBU though. I used to try and sing along without taking a breath. Tricky but not impossible!
