This was my second PE album, I only knew 2 tracks from the cd. I bought this cd just because of the name op PE, and what a buy!The Public Enemy style is unique. Chuck D with his raw voice and Flav with his more higher voice and light sense of humour, those two make a unique combination. Terminator X also makes the tracks immortal by mixing the beats with great samples and sort of solos in the chorus(like the drums in "Revolutionary Generation"). What also makes them unique is the "odd" tracks they make like the song "Pollywanacraka". A nice beat with a voice that actually seems to speak, but still telling the story in style. This cd contains also a pair of awesome pieces of rap history tracks like Fight the Power, Power to the People, Fear of a Black Planet and Welcome to the Terrordome. The tracks on this album are "hanging together", which makes the cd immortal, it contains no weaknesses and is just a piece of music history!Even if you don't know the music of PE too well(I only had It Takes a Nation to Hold us Back), you should buy this one...there's no reason first to listen the samples to see if it's worth buying, because you can buy this album blind!My Rating(1-10):1:8, nice instrumental 2:8, solid track3:7,84:75:8,26:7,5 ; bit too short7:8,4 ; unique song/style of rapping8:8,4 ; Song seems to contain 2 parts(instrumental and a part of raw rapping)9:8, Solid track with Ice Cube and Big Daddy Kane10:8,2, solid and a classic song11:8,8 ; catchy song and great collaboration between Flav & Chuck12:9, Great song, strong lyrics and impressive chorus(sampled)13:9,3 ; Catchy, Terminator X deserves a medal14:8,5 ; Flavor Flav flows great over a nice beat15:8,4 ; Chuck flows over a real slow beat16:8 ; Good instrumental by Terminator X, nice samples17:8,8 ; Chuck flows in a unique way(sounding very distant), strong lyrics18:8,5 ; Raw track, Chuck uses his voice real good19:7,5 ; Instrumental20:9,5 ; No comments needed, hip hop classic!!This is by far the best CD I bought in 2008, should have done it way earlier...
