Public Enemy was scary, subversive, outspoken, and strong. Now, Public Enemy is seemingly better known for housing the joke that became Flava Flav. But 27 years ago, this was powerful stuff. It's lost some of its shine...hip hop from this period doesn't always age very well...but you can still feel the angst in tracks like "911 Is A Joke" and "Fight The Power". A downside all those years ago was that it contained a lot of non-songs, but now it seems to be one of the album's strengths. And Chuck D was always smart and angry enough to command your full attention.

Fear Of A Black Planet (along with It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back) was the height of this group and their legacy. They ended up being remembered more for Flav than for their message, which was angry and intelligent and powerful...political music doesn't often, unfortunately, age well. But in 1991, this was truly the shit. A frightening album, for sure, but entertaining and smart as well.

Rating metrics: Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some charts can have several thousand ratings)

This chart is rated in the top 10% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.9/100, a mean average of 90.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.2.

Interesting chart! I can't rate as I've only heard maybe 3-5% of the albums on it - amazing how much music there is out there!
