Both "Funky Shit" and "Smack My Bitch Up" are throbbing dance-floor ejaculations wrapped around, respectively, Beastie Boys and De La Soul refrains. All this adds up to proof positive that THE FAT OF THE LAND is just the tip of the iceberg.

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."
