It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

All Ratings

Abbey Road

Beatles

4/5

Good for an afternoon at home.

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

1/5

Pretty unremarkable. Sure it was good for the time, but I’d be fine never listening to it again.

Neon Bible

Arcade Fire

4/5

Forgot about this band- great stuff, really like the vibes

Inspiration Information

Shuggie Otis

4/5

Not bad! Easy listening 70s funk enjoyed on a cold snowy day.

Violent Femmes

3/5

Hated the first several songs. Second half had some cool sounds, especially on bass. Still don’t love the singers voice, but you know, les claypool was a not great either. Idk felt a little too chaotic in some parts but overall a great composition.

Armed Forces

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

3/5

It’s alright

Fear Of Music

Talking Heads

4/5

Joan Baez

1/5

Horribly annoying

Wild Wood

5/5

Phenomenal - how have I never heard of this man? Very chill bluesy type vibes.

Lady In Satin

Billie Holiday

2/5

I like the vibe, but not the voice. It’s alright I guess. Kelsey liked this one.

My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts

Brian Eno

5/5

Roger the Engineer

The Yardbirds

4/5

Not bad. Held back by recording equipment of the timr

Run-D.M.C.

4/5

More political than I expected, lol. Beats are okay, lyrics are okay, but I mostly just appreciate what these guys did for hip hop. You can hear the sounds of a different time in their voices and inflections. I think it’d be cool to remake this album with modern sound tech and design.

More Specials

The Specials

3/5

It’s like the Beatles went to the beach lol

The Beach Boys Today!

The Beach Boys

1/5

The only album I’ve turned off. How boring and bland. Trash tier music

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

5/5

Excellent! Very good

Face to Face

The Kinks

4/5

Great example of 60s music that doesn’t suck. Enjoyed the listen. More up my alley than the Beatles, i think

Darkness on the Edge of Town

Bruce Springsteen

1/5

Hated it. I think there was one song where instrumentation was okay, but it was ruined by Bruce’s voice. It’s not bad, just boring and not for me.

Fetch The Bolt Cutters

Fiona Apple

4/5

This was fantastic! What a pleasant surprise! It’s like industrial piano / avantgarde-adjacent / spoken word.

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

5/5

Played this while prepping some snapper for dinner so I didn’t get to listen as actively as I normally would - but I love the doors. I’ve listened to this album before and it’s a banger every time. 5/5 for the spies out there

4/5

Surprisingly good for driving!

Pornography

The Cure

4/5

Definitely dope

Metallica

5/5

Love this album. Every song is a banger. And I don’t even love Metallica because I feel that the drums could just be so much better, however it was the early 90s and real metal was only just coming into its own so it’s fine. Still a 5/5

Songs From A Room

Leonard Cohen

1/5

Very uninteresting

A Wizard, A True Star

Todd Rundgren

3/5

Cut

The Slits

This was surprisingly good actually. Didn’t know what to expect. Would listen again! Genreless, great lyrics, smooth. Loved it!

Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis

2/5

Pass

Truth And Soul

Fishbone

4/5

Cool rock ska man! Unremarkable for the most part, but was a great listen!

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

The Smashing Pumpkins

5/5

Phenomenal. They really take on a variety of styles throughout the album. Truly a masterpiece.

Floodland

Sisters Of Mercy

3/5

Captures the 80s vibe decently. Not super remarkable though.

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

4/5

New respect for NIN. Solid. A little grating at times.

Not bad so far! 3 songs in.

5/5

Turns out I know so many songs on this album already lol. Banger. Wish more rock went this direction in the 90s/00s

Superfuzz Bigmuff

Mudhoney

5/5

If primus was punk and less weird lol. I liked it!

En-Tact

The Shamen

2/5

Weak start. Not my jam off the bat. HOWEVER, considering the age it’s decentish production and I found it pretty decent to drive to actually. In a tune-it-out-and-think kind of way. Thinking it’s a 3/5 just for that. Otherwise 1-2. Nope. Second half was shit.

All That You Can't Leave Behind

1/5

Boring and cringe. Quimby wannabe lol. Fuck U2. I’ll never forgive them for that iTunes debacle. Coldplay is better.

KIWANUKA

Michael Kiwanuka

4/5

Pleasantly surprised by this. I listened to this while heading into work 90 minutes early before the sun came up. Was really really nice. Idk if I’d listen to it again on purpose, but really enjoyed it.

Cosmo's Factory

Creedence Clearwater Revival

3/5

Not as good as I hoped

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

3/5

Two Dancers

Wild Beasts

1/5

This sucks honestly. Lead singer sounds great in lows, but the higher pitch stuff is awful. If pop and opera merged (popera?) this would be it. Too bad because the instrumental sounds/tones had potential if it wasn’t so boring note-wise.

Scream, Dracula, Scream

Rocket From The Crypt

4/5

This was great! Not even a punk fan much but now I might be!

Rum Sodomy & The Lash

The Pogues

5/5

This was SO GOOD. Loved it.

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

2/5

Meh

Mermaid Avenue

Billy Bragg

Trash. I’m sorry to the artists but I hated everything about this. Boring, Christian, nothingness. Get this tape out of my face.

Manassas

Stephen Stills

4/5

Not bad! I liked it for country

Fannnnntastic! Weird yet accessible. Very cool.

Modern Kosmology

Jane Weaver

3/5

Not bad! I like the vibe

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs

Fucking everybody in these stories is armed to the teeth. They love their hip iron. Musically, pretty boring, but nice enough. The stories are okay haha

Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space

3/5

1984

Queen

Good album, nice to hear metals roots

Daydream Nation

Sonic Youth

5/5

Surprisingly good

This Year's Model

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

3/5

There’s a couple good songs but otherwise found it pretty average. His voice is an acquired taste I feel. Not my favorite, but the vibe they go for requires it I guess.

B-52's

The B-52's

Weirder than expected! Like.

Sweetheart Of The Rodeo

The Byrds

3/5

Meh
