Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Popular Reviews

Over produced, yacht rock that appeals to a very generic, "beige" set of people

Bowie with an 808, innovative, bouncy and fun

Pure punk-a-billy, can hear their influence in a lot of punk and indie bands that followed

4.5/5, some of my favorite Cat Stevens songs on this one

Sensuous songs with a surprisingly deep soundscape

All Ratings

A classic, hasn't aged a day

Great concept album, each song feels like a sonic short story

Great easy listening tunes, perfect complement to morning coffee

Schmaltzy and forgettable

Catchy but derivative, a pastiche of post-punk sounds and styles from decades past but not offering too much in originality

Great lyrics, a little repetitive, 3.5/5

Classic 90s hip-hop, top 10 hip-hop album of all time

Majestic, swirling arrangements; Walker's warbling is a little over-the-top at points but engaging overall

Light, bubble gum pop, upbeat but a little too saccharine

Classic grooves, all time great album

Groovy jams, thought provoking lyrics that still resonate today

Interesting musical arrangements, great sweeping orchestral melodies, the lyrics and vocal stylings are a little too disjointed and distracting

Great, underrated Zeppelin album, more mature song writing and lyrics.

Gritty ditties, roadhouse dirty grooves

Great album, revolutionary sounds and lyrics

Fresh, offbeat, a great time capsule of the carefree 80s

Bowie with an 808, innovative, bouncy and fun

Great songwriting, has a classic feel with some twangy guitar melodies

4.5/5, some of my favorite Cat Stevens songs on this one

Sensuous songs with a surprisingly deep soundscape

Timeless sound and feel to the album, harkens back to a Scott Walker grandiosity in scope and tone

Jazzy, infectious rhythms

Over produced, yacht rock that appeals to a very generic, "beige" set of people

Classic metal album, timeless bangers!

Standard, enjoyable dancey post-punk album

Pure punk-a-billy, can hear their influence in a lot of punk and indie bands that followed

3.5/5

Classic jams, underrated band lost in the disco 70s hype

Captures the early 90s sound, can feel the Gen X anthems throughout

Influential indie classic, Kool Thing alone makes this an instant classic

Grimy, dive bar jives. Seems like a bit of a historical oddity

Too twangy, lacks an emotional or sonic punch. 2.5/5

Simple, pleasant country songs filled with authenticity, harkens to Beat Generation aesthetic of fast living in a dressed down manner
