Public Enemy\'s 11th album finds them full of enlightened fury, as the Bomb Squad\'s tumultuous production—which includes some blistering guitar on opener \"Run Till It\'s Dark\" and elsewhere—backs Chuck D\'s righteous polemic. Next-generation spitters Brother Ali (\"Get Up Stand Up\") and Large Professor & Cormega (on the Jay-Z-baiting \"Catch the Thrown\") pay tribute, equally intellectual and pissed-off in their fiery guest verses. The album title is a callback to PE\'s 1989 anthem \"Fight the Power\"; more than two decades later, they\'re still fighting.
