****1/2 Somebody in the house say yeah! Over two decades removed from its 1988 release, Public Enemy's unabridged masterpiece, It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back, is still just as fun to listen to as it was back then, not to mention still as relevant today as it was at its time.

If there’s one thing you need to know about Baltimore newcomers Turnstile, it’s that they’re pissed off.
