Apocalypse 91… The Enemy Strikes Black

I love the heaviness P.E. brings to the party. I don't love the constant badgering. The audience for this is not going to listen to it anyway. I the end it comes off as complaining more than anything else. Some high-quality socially conscious takes are here though and sometimes those things make for an uncomfortable listen. I like Flavor Flave more than I should though. There's nothing I *don't* like sound-wise on this album. At the same time it's just more of the same. Not clear why it made tis list except for the Anthrax collab which is pretty groundbreaking.

Vaya cambio entre este y el de Slint. No sé como explicarlo, pero mola mucho el estilo "ruidoso" que lleva Public Enemy.

I don't care for the style on most tracks, but they undeniably speak truth to power and the flow is well constructed.

I really need to listen to more Public Enemy! Such energy and style...I can understand why they are such an important artist. 4.5/5

Love Public Enemy. This album is so raw and heavy. More intense and immediate feeling than some of their stuff which I love.

Public Enemy Number 1! Public Enemy Number 1! Kna what I'm sayin? Yeah Chuck!

I like how aggressive their rapping style is on a lot of songs, and I like a bunch of their beats. A lot of other tracks are really upbeat and quite funky. Overall the album is solid, with no real dips in quality.

Standout tracks: Nighttain, By the Time I Get To Arizona, Move! And of course... Bring Tha Noize - Tony Hawk reprazent!

3.5 rounded up

It's pretty good. I still could do with a little less Flavor Flav, but Chuck D makes up for it.

This album kicks so much ass! aggressive, in your face, lyrics are to the point, and the overall sound is a punk afro boom beat.

There are some great individual tracks on here such as "Can't truss it" and "Shut Em Down" but overall I don't think it holds up as an album in the same way that "It Takes A Nation..." Or "Fear of a Black Planet" do.

Probably the best Public Enemy album.

I liked this a lot, especially the anti-arizona parts, and I’m uhhh better understanding now the roots of my middle/high school teachers in the midwest being so scandalized by rap, lmao.
Also something interesting to me is that because I’m very bad at passively picking up on lyrics, I really had to focus in while this was playing. Like the album really demanded my attention in a way I’m not used to.

Bring Tha Noize!
