This album just pumps. This was the first Hip Hop album I ever bought and was instantly converted. PE's music has and always will be unlike any other. The production is amazing, lyrics political but yet enlightening (Shut em Down and Cant Truss it) and every song moves with a sense of purpose which cant be said for 90% of the stuff which is churned out by the bucketload these days. If you like smart production and intense lyrics, check this album out

This album represents the end of Public Enemy's best period, their fourth album in a 5 year period when they blew everyone away and inspired the political "afrocentric" period of hiphop.
The strain is already starting to show as the album never quite lived up to it's predecessor "Fear of a Black Planet", yet there is undeniable quality here in tracks like "shut em down" and "By the time I get to Arizona".
It's a storming noisy militant album, with Chucka nd Flav still spitting over some incredible hooks, the originality of their sound not yet worn thin. I wish they were still as good and as consistent as this...

More cliched than PE's other releases, but has some of the best songs they ever did, and definitely some of Chuck's best vocals. Check the fantastic By The Time I Get To Arizona and Nighttrain. One of my favourite rap CDs.

Great album spoiled by censorship
I think this album sits well alongside their other classic early albums, and my favourite PE album "Mess-Age". Read more

DISSAPOINTING...
After the previous 2 albums, both bona fide rap AND music classics, this was a let down - the production is excellent BUT the songwriting feels
