Following up on their world-conquering breakthrough, the trailblazing rap trio returned with a slightly more eclectic and sample-heavy production style. The group continued to aggressively blend hard rock guitars with massive drum breaks, cementing their signature crossover appeal. Although facing a rapidly evolving genre landscape, the record reaffirmed their status as the preeminent cultural ambassadors of eighties hip-hop.
