I only started liking them when their music got darker, heavier, and more macho.
Thank you, cocaine. Thank you.

Thatās awesome!!
I only really listened to them up to Fat of the Land. At this point was it macho cocaine music already, or was it still fluffy MDMA stuff? Sorry I donāt know much about which drugs they took/take, so Iām not sure where the split is.
Drugs are excellent! But thinking theyāll improve creative output is a laugh. And thinking youāve detected at which points a person is high or not strictly through absorption of their creative output is also a laugh. After reading an interview in which an artist fesses up to sniffing coke or whatever you could say āOMG I hear it!ā but youād never know which moments were conceived or recorded while fucked up or sober or which drug(s) was in play unless that same artist told you directly.
If by macho you mean more influenced by metal, then no, I donāt think it had anything to do with cocaine, it was probably to do with the rock and metal that influenced Liamās songwriting.
Iād imagine there was a fair bit of cocaine going about early on too, I mean, one of their first tracks was called Charly FFS.

Fish scale only made me wanna tell people about all the fish I caughtā¦
Iām not from the UK. Does āCharlyā have some drug meaning?
Anyway, the booklet of the Fat of the Land looks pretty indicative to me. āDo you want butter or guns?ā
I 100% agree with this. Experienced people can āaccessā it without taking anything.
And I think there is bidirectional feedback between music and past (or present) psychedelic insight. Past psychedelic experiences can influence music, just like even listening to music can recall past psychedelic experiences.

It means cocaine.
Indicative of what?
Iāve been listening to a fair amount of melodic and/or trashy rap stuff lately and can hear the influence of codeine, percocet, and xanax, but thatās mostly because theyāre usually explicitly mentioned

Where I come from, most people who are into guns are machos and usually coke users
I donāt think the Prodigy were really into guns. Never saw them explicitly advocating for gun ownership.
That quote from the liner notes should probably best be read as a metaphor, as Iām pretty sure they like a bit of butter on their crumpets in real life.
Me too. Iām admittedly an unabashed, unashamedly macho man.
This is my theme song to prove my masculinityā¦

Charly says always tell your mummy before going somewhere

Well, quite a lot of machos are in the closest, or just use their crap to hide their insecurity and fragility. Usually it doesnāt end well.
Exactly.

ā¦what a bold doubt from someone with an avatar name like what givesā¦ 
well, bold or not ā¦at least all my favourite sonic heros made their best work under some influence of one kind or the otherā¦same goes for all my sonic collegues i know personally or worked withā¦
so if i had to verify my bold statement in percentagesā¦iād say at least 70% of all popular and halfway popular music was created NOT TOTALLY SOBERā¦
at least a little whiskey or glass of whine is ALWAYS INVOLVEDā¦
if ur a session musician with verified skills and u have to perform from sheet, deliver in a sceduled time frame, thatās more likely to happen soberā¦
but i think, weāre talking creation process here, not finishing a certified jobā¦
while even the tuttis, that last row in all average orchesters, those who only play in the very loud/emphasized sections of a piece on sheet, tend to have a drink or two before they sit down at their instrumentsā¦in small town operas/theateres theyāre even completely drunk frequentlyā¦i can swear on thisā¦saw it with my own eyesā¦and could hear it with my own earsā¦ ā¦those who know, theyāre doomed to be the tuttis forever, doing this for years and years, theyāve lost all hope and just donāt bother anymoreā¦
and hey, half the worldpopulation is a result of some fluffy moment, from warm hearted to hot passion, that started out because of staying not totally soberā¦
so what gives U that little relax boosterā¦?
I think you just called me gay. 
My girlfriend owns more guns than me. Iām confusionā¦
Wait, youāre right. Iām totes gay and insecure! I love it!
