It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Popular Reviews

Moondance

Van Morrison

5/5

Love it. When ever I think of a "perfect record" this is one that always comes to mind. The use of saxaphone really thickens up the sound. And the mix in general is just stellar. Fantastic song writing. What else could you want out of this album? Nothing. Perfection.

Violent Femmes

5/5

Wow. I have ways loved this record. For sure one of the best sad boi albums. It's very simple yet i think it really inspired a lot of bands after it. Will never not wanna listen to this album. The bass playing is phenomenal and while the lyrics are rather crude and sometimes borderline creepy just has so much emotion behind them. No doubt there's so problematic emotions here. Its just so raw.

Electric Warrior

T. Rex

4/5

What a good gateway from blues rock into alt. rock. A very solid album all the way through. Simple and still sophisticated

A Nod Is As Good As A Wink To A Blind Horse

Faces

3/5

This is a solid blues rock album. Not a huge fan of Rod Stewart, but the instrumentation and mix is pretty solid. I can totally understand how someone might love this album. 3 stars.

Violent Femmes

5/5

Back In Black

AC/DC

4/5

I did not expect to like this album as much as I did listening to it again. Really just kind of the next step after Led Zeppelin. A bit more obviously horny but just killer guitar tone and driving drums and bass.

Iron Maiden

3/5

Pretty solid metal album. Rocks hard. I still like Bruce as a vocalist for this band better, but this is definetly a good start for them!

Disintegration

The Cure

4/5

The height of the sad boi sound. The songs on this album really use the many synths and make such beautiful textures and is really just well crafted songs all around. No I ripping guitar, but beautiful simple guitar lines to add to the texture of the songs. Love to hear this one.

The Who Sell Out

The Who

2/5

To be honest this album didn't really catch me. There's a few good songs. Definitely not my favorite Who album.

The Cars

4/5

Such a consistently good pop rock album. Not a bad song on here. I love how the cars kind of mixed bluesy rock with synths. It really influenced so many bands afterward.

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

3/5

A really cool take on like electronic music mixed with live instruments. I would say this sounds like an emo Gorillaz. I liked a lot of this record. Lots of noise and chiggy guitars tend to make for a good time.

Spiderland

Slint

3/5

Spiderland is a solid emo rock album. Very intense vocals paired with intense change of dynamics throughout each track. A lot of really beautiful instrumental sections. Lots of really nice guitar work.

Quiet Life

Japan

3/5

This sounds like a scary/emo Duran Duran. Really love the use of fretless bass for texture. Good album. Dark synth pop is not something you hear too often, but these folks do a great job of making music that you know a vampire from the 80's would make.

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

5/5

Such a good blues rock album. Love an upbeat first track. So many good good songs in the record. The guitar work is so subtle but really adds so much to each song.

Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

5/5

99% of the songs on this album are total bops and make me wanna dance anytime I hear them. Amazing bass playing on both bass guitar and bass synth. I love everything about this record and only wish I was around when it initially came out to experience it. Amazing.

The Magnetic Fields

3/5

There were some pretty good songs on here. Honestly, it was way too long and I just got burnt out halfway through.

Hard Again

Muddy Waters

3/5

Solid blues album. Just seems like they're all having fun and playing the blues.

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

5/5

One of the best rhythm section of all time. Just another stellar album from a stellar band.

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Public Enemy

5/5

Such a good group. Chuck D is one of my fave MCs. And Terminator X is such a good dj. The beats and political charges lyrics come together so we'll and makes for a good listen.

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

Sex Pistols

4/5

Some good punk rock. Hear a lot of other classic punk bands in their sound.

Pink Moon

Nick Drake

4/5

Fear and Whiskey

Mekons

2/5

Not crazy about this one. 2
