"For their 15th album, Public Enemy are back on Def Jam, the powerhouse label they helped build with their golden-age hip-hop classics. It's a well-timed return to the center of the industry ... The fact that Chuck D and Flavor Flav remain at once hopeful and skeptical, honoring their own past and the music's while pushing it forward, is a huge part of this record's passionate, agitating, cranky energy".
