A powerful work in which anger towards society collides with reconstructed sound.
This album, released in the mid-'90s by Public Enemy, fuses social commentary with heavy beats and marks their comeback.
Public Enemy's fifth album can be seen as a response to the changes in the hip-hop scene. Lyrics that sharply criticize social structures and media manipulation are layered with hard, funk-tinged beats. The energy of "Give It Up" and the political message of "Race Against Time" embody their signature style. It has been re-evaluated as an ambitious work that challenged the chaos of the '90s.
