2010 album from the British Electronic duo. It starts with what sounds like an alien morse code transmission; Earth bound signals bouncing off the side of orbiting space debris.

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. Pure sonic terrorism, Music for the Jilted Generation employs the same rave energy that charged their debut but yokes it to a cause other than massive drug intake.
