New Whirl Odor

Editorial Reviews
Product Description
If RUN-DMC are the Beatles of rap music, Public Enemy are surely its Rolling Stones. This is studio album #10, they've sold millions of records, and their songs have become part of history, jargon, and culture. New Whirl Odor has followed that Public Enemy tradition in trendsetting, while never repeating themselves. "Bring That Beat Back," "Revolution," "Preaching to the Quiet," and "Superman's Black in the Building" are tracks also coupled with videos on the accompanying DVD.

4 out of 5 stars Rap Masters Return At (Near) Full Strength!.......2006-10-25

The patented sound of rap mega stars Public Enemy has always been one of intense anger and frustration. On the group's newest album, their tenth, that sound finds new ways of releasing the pent-up reservoir of disillusionment that lead rapper Chuck D embodies.

The atmosphere of most of the tracks is dense and noisy, as is usual for PE. However, this album contains tracks like "Bring That Beat Back" and "Makes You Blind", which feature calm enough arrangements to be possible hits in today's rap music scene, while still keeping enough of the hard-core sound that the group is so well known for.

Chuck's lyrics can be a bit confounding and sometimes it sounds as if the ideas covered in one song are all over the place and un-focused; instead of hitting upon one topic per song, for example, he may hit upon ten. Also, surprisingly, there are no songs from humorous side-kick Flavor Flav this time out, but Professor Griff (once kicked out of the group before being reinstated years later) gets a chance on the mic with guest spots on two tracks as well as his own song, "Y'all Don't Know".

"MKLVFKWR" features an intense, exhilarating beat constructed by Moby and powerful, vehement lyrics from Chuck which call out desperately for world peace. It is the type of song for which Public Enemy initially became famous, and it's message and non-stop sonic assault are so invigorating, it forces you to get up and pump your fist in the air.

DJ Lord Aswod has filled the position which Terminator X used to occupy, and he does so very admirably. Listen to his technically amazing scratch work on "Preaching to the Quiet" and "Check What You're Listening To".

The album ends up with "Superman's Black in the Building", an almost 12- minute long odyssey put together in a format which is new for the group. Overall, the exciting beats and angry, yet intelligent lyrics win you over- especially when you consider the low artistic quality of so much of other hip-hop music being released today.

Public Enemy is back! They have returned with an album so good that it nearly equals the artistic heights they achieved with their classics, "It Takes a Nation..." and "Fear of a Black Planet".

3 out of 5 stars It's not too shabby..........2006-10-13

The strongest tracks are "Bring That Beat Back", "MKLVFKWR", "Revolution", and "Superman's Black In The Building". That Instrumental track #9 is tight and I wish Chuck woulda used it for an actual song. Track 4 I coulda done without and 6 and 7 I think kinda weakened the CD right smack dab in the middle - for me anyway. Track 12 is ok but not much replay value for me personally... but the rest is decent.
It's nowhere near as remarkable as "Nation of Millions...", "Fear of a Black Planet" or "Apocalpyse '91"... I don't even think it's as good as "There's a Poison Goin On". Still, you will probably like this CD if you want some political music and aren't tired of the lame play on words thing ("New Whirl Odor"? C'mon now...)

2 out of 5 stars Public Enemy Digress Into Late Career Irrelevance & Laziness.......2006-04-15

For about the last 15 years PE's output has been fairly sporadic and uneven. I suppose it would be an unfair expectation for PE to maintain the peerless qualitative apex of their best albums: It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back, Fear of A Black Planent, and (to a lesser extent) Apocalypse 91... The Enemy Strikes Black - albums so powerful and influential it would be almost impossible to overstate their importance. Since 1992 they've made a few competent, but unspectacular albums that either recycle their best work [There's a Poison Goin' On (1999)], or emulate more contemporary rap productions [He Got Game (1998)]. New Whirl Odor is an album where PE seem dimished to dull antiquity status.

Most PE album titles since Apocalypse 91 have been pop culture derived puns, but New Whirl Odor is their first album that is just as cheesy as it's title. During their peak, PE's music was characterized by an abundance of complex, cogent ideas: An album like Fear of Black Planet has so many sonic and lyrical facets you can listen to it numerous times and still find something new. Contrarily, NWO is characterized by a more simple, single or dual layered production a la Dre/Eminem, but lacking their creativity and vibrance. While the mix contains many musical elements of peak-era PE (voice samples from prominent black leaders, shards of urban noise, etc.) it becomes evident early on that producers Johnny Juice and Abnormal have limited, repetitive tools they apply to virtually every song. Consequently, the production is facile, hollow, and becomes tedious after the first few tracks.

Thematically, PE is just as weary. To be fair PE lyrics have always served as propaganda, but on their best work Chuck D was among the most formidable rappers and potent wordsmiths ever to hold a mic, capable of making the most white-bread suburbanite appreciate his afrocentrism. But on NWO even Chuck seems weary to the point that his lyrics and delivery sound like jingles more than compelling agitprop. Not only are his lyrics ineffective, but he rallies against all the same foes he's targeted for the past 20 years: the media, Bush (sr or jr), institutionalized racism... whatever the topic, his lyrics are generic, and his delivery just isn't inspired to enough to put them over.

Maybe NWO is the type of album we should have expected from PE. At this stage of their career music seems tangential: Chuck D hosts a weekly radio program on Air America, while Flavor Flav hosts a pitiful reality show on VH1. Still, it's a huge disappointment from a band who has made some of the most powerful, innovative popular music of all time, especially at a time when pop culture (and rap in particular) desperately needs an entity like PE to serve as a counterpoint to the waning megalomaniacal 'bling-bling' culture that currently dominates hip-hop. Instead we get an empty, lethargic album from a band that seems unconcerned with how irrelevant they've become.
