Introducing The Hardline According To Terence Trent D'Arby

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Popular Reviews

Peak dad rock. This dad approves.

Never have I so thoroughly enjoyed a guy who sounds eternally constipated essentially screaming about how much life sucks. And that'll probably never happen again.

This album is without a doubt the singular high watermark for 90s American pop, and potentially Madonna's entire career. Between her other albums, I struggle to pick a favorite between Ray of Light, Madonna and Like a Prayer.

Peak divorced dad rock. It really has not aged well.

Yeah this has always been my favorite Beatles album.

If there is one quintessential blues album, this might be it.

false

Just as great on 4/21 as on 4/20.

I can see some people liking this album. It just really isn't my speed. This came across as ear-grating l, headache inducing nonsense. I'll stick with the Sex Pistols and the Ramones when I listen to punk rock.

Peak dad rock. This dad approves.

I liked this more than I thought I would. Easy listening all the way through but with enough variation between songs to keep me interested.

Good. Just not feeling it.

Anyone gives this less than three stars clearly has no Faith.

Yeah I'd have liked this 20 years ago. But now it's just edgy crap. Some weird portmanteau of punk, metal and alternative that really doesn't make the mark anymore.

Yeah this sounds like the same song over and over and over. Some albums can get away with that. This one definitely doesn't.

These songs are decent until they start talking.

Ravi's music is excellent and absolutely wonderful. The instructional tracks are interesting, and I think they do add to the album and my understanding of citar music. I was really hoping for more music, though. This seems short for an album.

FINE! I'LL GIVE THEM 5 STARS! DARN IT WHY DO THEY HAVE TO BE SO GREAT. EVERY. DUMB. ALBUM. BRILLIANT.

I can sort of understand having ONE Elvis Costello album on here. But 6!? So far they all sound the same, and they're starting to sound not very good.

Nice

I can never get enough of this album.

Never have I so thoroughly enjoyed a guy who sounds eternally constipated essentially screaming about how much life sucks. And that'll probably never happen again.

False

Good God, it never ends.

Well this particular trip back to my embarrassing middle school "classic dad rock is the only good music" phase was actually definitely worth it. This album has actually continued to age particularly well. Hells Bells, Back in Black and You Shook Me All Night Long are great. Shoot to Thrill is the real sleeper hit that really only got the recognition it deserved in the gratuitously gratuitous movie "Shoot em Up".

This album pretty much defined middle school for me. Still holds up.

Pretty fantastic, just not as fantastic as Back in Black.
