It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

All Ratings

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

4/5

The first album I remember owning "buying". One of my first days in Anchorage as a kid, my mom and I went to the mall and I picked up a walkman and this CD and fell in love forever. I own it on vinyl and I think I'll play it today (3/6/23).

Africa Brasil

Jorge Ben Jor

5/5

Since I Left You

The Avalanches

4/5

I think I've tried several times to get into this record through the years... I definitely don't dislike it, but to me, there's very little glue holding the whole thing together. That being said, 'Frontier Psychiatrist' is a certified ripper.

A Hard Day's Night

Beatles

3/5

The hits hit, and most of the others miss... For me, anyway.

The Soft Bulletin

The Flaming Lips

5/5

I was admittedly not into the album at first... I've only ever been familiar with Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots (who hasn't seen that album cover at least once?). Was walking in the rain while listening and it just started to make sense to me. Notable tracks - 'Buggin', 'The Gash', and 'Sleeping On the Roof'. I'll definitely be listening again! This album made me finally understand the brilliance woven into the fabric of this album.

Dog Man Star

Suede

3/5

Could see myself putting this album on again. This album definitely didn't need to be over and for long... Come on. Vocals sounded like a call back to early post-punk U2, while some songs sounded like the boring tracks off of U2's 'Joshua Tree'.

1989

Taylor Swift

5/5

Boy, did I enjoy the hell out of this album... I've heard the hits over the years as the husband of a self-proclaimed "Swiftie", but the deeper cuts were almost as great, if not better.

Tidal

Fiona Apple

4/5

Not in the mood for it but I can acknowledge and appreciate its place.

Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

4/5

Never been into Hendrix. This playthrough did remind me that he was a shredder but I'm not much for blues rock and the drums always bothered me...

Woodface

Crowded House

3/5

Not really into this 😬 'Don't Dream It's Over' is an undeniably great 80's song, and 'Something So Strong' was another hit by Crowded House hot on its heels. Sorry, Crowded House... I love you, but this album ain't it, dog.

Power In Numbers

Jurassic 5

5/5

Love the clarity and punchiness of the hi-hat, bass drum, and snare. Great production overall. I've got a couple J5 CDs tucked away but this one slipped past my radar; really pleased with Power In Numbers.

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

4/5

Enjoyable!

evermore

Taylor Swift

4/5

Synchronicity

The Police

3/5

I grew up with a good grip of these songs by way of the greatest hits CD being played during my childhood. I'll happily take any excuse to hear Stewart Copeland play the drums!

A Date With The Everly Brothers

The Everly Brothers

4/5

Vespertine

Björk

4/5

Unknown Pleasures

Joy Division

4/5

The College Dropout

Kanye West

4/5

Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo

Devo

5/5

LOVE THIS. I've listened to this album before but I enjoyed it more this time around.

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

4/5

American Beauty

Grateful Dead

3/5

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

4/5

Maxinquaye

Tricky

2/5

Boooo.

It's A Shame About Ray

The Lemonheads

5/5

Mask

Bauhaus

3/5

Am I crazy to suggest that I hear some Dead Kennedy's influence in this? Vocally on some tracks, and a little East Bay Ray spice, elsewhere. Black & white cover with yellow font...

The Nightfly

Donald Fagen

3/5

Straight forward Fagen, not great and not horrible... 🤷

Tusk

Fleetwood Mac

3/5

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

5/5

Huge Kendrick fan, since his early EPs & mixtapes.

Hounds Of Love
