Talk:The Fat of the Land

The following references may be useful when improving this article in the future:

Steel? Lard?[edit]

I bought the album a long time ago and just now found out that the odd quote on the inside of the booklet, "Preparedness makes us powerful. Butter merely makes us fat." is an altered quote belonging to Hermann Göring: "Guns will make us powerful; butter will only make us fat." from a radio broadcast in 1936.[1] It might be worth mentioning in a trivia section. -- H3xx (^t/c/_b) 06:12, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Controversy?[edit]

Regarding the following words... The album caused some minor controversy in Britain. The video for the first single, "Firestarter", caused a minor uproar because of vocalist Keith Flint's appearance, First of all, I'd like to see a citation on this. Second, would someone please explain exactly what the problem with Flint's appearance was? It's kindof a meaningless statement without it. -Freekee (talk) 05:00, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Don't have a source, but it was a combination of two issues, first some thought his hairstyle was deliberately aping satanism (devil horns) and second some drew connection between the term firestarter and his wearing of the american flag as being a criticism of the US's interventions in Afghanistan. Neither really justified in my opinion but then most controversies aren't.145.8.180.218 (talk) 10:08, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

RS review[edit]

I can't find it online, but Rolling Stone definitely gave this album a 4-star review back in '97. Does anyone have the issue number? StevePrutz (talk) 00:25, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Title[edit]

why it was titled "The fat of the land", what does it mean ? 87.245.143.44 (talk) 09:06, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lockruf des Goldes[edit]

Fuel my what?[edit]

Fuel my Fire links to something unrelated with the song, the album or the band. This seems to be a site-wide problem. I found out about it in the Republika page, then I found it here, too. Until someone fixes it, I'd suggest unlinking and leaving the song listed in plain text. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1singur (talk • contribs) 07:22, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Crab Species[edit]

I can't find a citation but I'm absolutely sure the crab featured on the album cover is Gecarcinus quadratus (Halloween crab). Should I add this to the article, maybe to the crabs' article too? I also said this over at Talk:Gecarcinus quadratus#This crab was featured in an album cover Landfill baby (talk) 17:02, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Big Beat[edit]

QuestFour & Blueberry72 can we discuss the inclusion here instead of edit warring. My edit summary should sum up my view. Rob van vee 16:12, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Robvanvee: now Big Beat's source is the article from Spin again, I think it's acceptable. I don't understand why it was replaced with that MTV News article. Blueberry72 (talk) 16:38, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that's fine. An edit summary or reply on a talk page would be nice but I'll settle instead for a reliable source ;-) Rob van vee 16:44, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
