  1. The resulting aural rummage sale brings some timely noise while proving D can still deliver lyrical knocks to the deserving.

    Not, perhaps, the best overview of their work, but bound to satisfy loyal fans. [Jan 2003, p.123]
  3. They might not be hip, they're not as innovative as they used to be, but they still make very good, even great music, and that's evident on Revolverlution. If only it were presented better.
  4. Uncut

    Revolverlution is part-skewed retrospective and part-flawed experiment. [Jan 2003, p.126]
  5. Alternative Press

    An album that hangs together surprisingly well. [Oct 2002, p.90]
  6. The grooves here prove Chuck D and Flavor Flav can bring the noise of old.
  7. Not surprisingly, Revolverlution is all over the place, but for much of its first half, the album sounds vital, impassioned, and kinetic, if not overly cohesive.
  8. "Revolverlution" may be little more than a curious career capper, but at least the never risk-averse Public Enemy seems to understand that even failure can be your friend if it ultimately helps you move forward and stay fresh.
  9. Vibe
    50
    A decidedly mixed blessing. [Sep 2002, p.250]
  10. Blender

    This is simply a useful rampage through the best and worst impulses of the most important group in hip-hop history. [#9, p.153]
