Beats and Places

A gritty collection of remixes, live cuts, and new manifestos. Dense, sample-heavy production meets Chuck D's unwavering authoritative baritone.

November 28, 2006 · Slam Jamz

Relentless, confrontational energy with moments of exhausted tenderness.

Moments Worth Listening For

The siren-like screeching that opens Air Conditioning, signaling a return to the classic Bomb Squad chaos.

Chuck D's voice dropping into a lower, more menacing register during the climax of Hell No, We Ain't Allright.

The seamless transition from the live energy of Do You Wanna Go Our Way??? into the soulful, reflective If I Gave You Soul.

AllMusic

Where This Album Departs

How does Beats and Places sound next to the rest of Public Enemy's catalogue?

High Energy-0.9σ

It runs a touch cooler and more held-back than this artist's baseline.
