Ya'll know what I'm talking about.

I'm still unsure as to how these threads work. Is it just an album club but not?

This and YBRTS changed my life.

I was one of the first people to hear several tracks on this record because I saw them live a week or so before it dropped.

Anyways, great stuff. "Bring the Noise" is classic, and the sampling of Slayer in "She Watch Channel Zero?!" is so good. Definitely a solid 8.

Total masterpiece, 10/10. As Bob Dylan injected intelligence into rock music, Public Enemy did the same for hip-hop two decades later. The dense sound collage perfected by the Bomb Squad, layering beats on beats, samples upon samples, PE even sampling PE! Chuck D’s magisterial baritone raps, Flavor Flav’s comic reliefs bobbing in and out, Terminator X’s scratches. The spirit of James Brown's original "funky drummer" Clyde Stubblefield flows through this album. The whole thing is….relentless is the word that comes to mind. It has everything, it contains multitudes. One of the few albums that takes my breath away to this day.

Back when I used to listen to this album frequently, it was a 10/10. It was one of the first albums to really get me into the genre. The Bomb Squad brings the noise on each track. Better than Fear of a Black Planet imo. Still 10/10.
