Apocalypse 91… The Enemy Strikes Black, Public Enemy's fourth studio album, was released on October 1, 1991, through Def Jam and Columbia. Chuck D is still the commanding voice at the center, booming out his indictments, with Flavor Flav as his wild-card foil and Terminator X on the turntables, and the East Coast crew sound as urgent and combative as ever, the beats dense and hard-driving. "By the Time I Get to Arizona" and "Lost at Birth" are among the cuts that have stuck around. Critics loved it: in the Pazz & Jop critics' poll for 1991 it came in at number two.
