I don't have the mental energy to dig dip into my thoughtspace and type any subsequent results tonight, but this was my absolute favourite album of 2019 and I still love it.

This album was produced by Danger Mouse and Inflo who would go on to produce my #1 album of 2022 and my #2 album of 2021, respectively! (Cheat Codes and Sometimes I Might Be Introvert for those of you following along at home)
 
Hanging on the Telephone - I think I would have opened the album with One Way or Another
One Way or Another, this is a bop.

Picture This - well this is more punk leaning new wave.

So far, I can't say I'm a fan.

Fade Away and Radiate - most interesting intro to a song so far. Then her voice comes in sounding very tiny which is unexpected. This has tones of Abba (with cool almost Tom Morello guitar antics). I like this and its build.

Allmusic says this is pop and left New Wave behind. Fade Away is the first pop leaning song, but it still seems pretty new wave to me. I guess we would call it indie sleaze today. lol.
 
I Know But I Don't Know has that punk swagger in the versus and what has to be a fun to sing along chorus with guitars that make it seem like Ocasek must have had an immediate impact. Need the old school to come teach Green Day and Blink-182 how it's done.
 
@Joe Mac are you bug eyed because I called Danger Mouse boring or at the thought of Kiwanuka being an even better album? I would put Kiwanuka up with the Grey Album as being the only things he's done of worth without doing a search of all his projects. He actually made the Black Keys boring and they eventually had to work to overcome his production, imo. I wanted to like Cheat Codes but the production ruined it for me. I can't really think of anything else he did off the top of my head. He's kind of like Rick Ruben - except sometimes he is detrimental.

Didn't he work on Broken Bells (kind of boring) and Gnarls Barkley - well half of them makes it unlistenable now.

The Prodigy - The Fat of the Land

On this album, The Prodigy manage to straddle a fair level of crossover, from the rockier numbers like "Breathe," through the straight up dancefloor filling uber-rave tracks like "Smack My Bitch Up" to the atmospheric ambient menace of "Mindfields" or "Narayan." Overall, the album loses a few points purely because it is just a tad ‘samey’ and because of outside interference (the repetitive whispers in "Fuel My Fire" are rather grating), however there is more than enough quality on here to ensure its place in the annals of dance music history.
I haven't listened to this album in several years. It might not be perfect (at least not to me), but it pairs excellently with any PS1 game. RIP Keith Flint.
I wonder how that crab tasted...

Personal highlights: "Smack My Bitch Up," "Serial Thrilla," "Mindfields"
Rating: 3.5/5 [Great]
