Yes, it's a good album, though personally, as I mentioned before, certainly not a top-100 album.

It was a pioneer album...but, I can't say that it's an album that's "great."

A slightly overrated album. One of the best albums of the '80s, and it's on my '80s decade chart in the top 20, even, but still, it is NOT one of the 100 best albums of all time, as so many people would have you believe. I say its position in the overall chart of BEA is just about perfect.

Weak album.

I think it only gets credit/ratings because it was one of the first hip-hop albums made...

I really doubt that if it wasn't a 'classic' people would care about it 😕

Most overrated hip-hop album of all time without question. The beats are flat and the concept of flow is completely absent.

Amen. Bring The Noise and She Watch Channel Zero are the only decent moments and the lyrics on Party for your right to fight are disgusting.

The only rap band I've ever heard that had something interesting to say. Excellent album.
