The title says it all. In 1988, when this album was released, Public Enemy`s music cut with a wholly revolutionary edge. Rarely has fear, anger, paranoia and anxiety been so masterfully compressed onto a record`s grooves. The Bomb Squad`s artistry is the keynote to the hard, lean delivery, while Chuck D`s supremely pointed lyrics leave no stone of the black experience unturned. It is not comfortable listening, but on tracks such as `Don`t Believe The Hype`, `Night Of The Living Baseheads` and `Rebel Without A Pause` the listener is left in no doubt that they are facing a fantastically potent force.
