It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Popular Reviews

Such a diverse album. I had zero expectations, but this album has everything from chanson to disco. Sounds fresh even today.

With one listen lacked highlights, but it freewheeled forward effortlessly and had enough variety without compromising that Beck-sound.

Can't get no satisfaction was a nice departure, but otherwise not really my type of a record.

This was complex and enjoyable. I hadn't really listened to anything similar before.

So many hits!

There was some intersting songs for me, but personally a bit unforgettable.

I can appreciate the production values of this, even though it is not something I'd listen to actively.

Love Janis' voice.

Was more diverse than Imagine as the song makes one expect, but imo didn't reach Beatles' prime.

I didn't really like it. Did not feel like it had any memorable moments.

Has quite a few hits and memorable songwriting.

This was unlike anything I had heard before. I liked it!

This was a real gem. Glad I got to hear it.

Absolute banger. My second favourite Metallica Album.

This is another favourite of mine, angry social commentary, yet so funky.

This was very pleasant. Reminded me of Tinariwen.

Some good stuff there, but not my cup of tea.

Even the songs I had not heard before were bangers.

Diverse, superb playing.

This was completely new to me. Reminded me of Deltron 3030. Nice, innovative beats.

Great singer. I had overlooked this album due to it being wildly popular. Mistake amended.

I like Disco 2000 and I expected something less mellow based on that. Left me cold.

Such a diverse album. I had zero expectations, but this album has everything from chanson to disco. Sounds fresh even today.

Not my style at all.

Except for Mrs. Robinson, this was unforgettable to me.

I had high expectations, but despite intriguing music, the album felt like it lacked proper highlights.

As with the other Arcade Fire album, I forgot about this right after listening. Not my cup of tea.

Country is still not my thing, but k.d. langs voice is gorgeous.

I expected more as I like Minute Men, but this was sadly forgettable.

This was annoying. I appreciate singing shenanigans when likes of Nina Hagen do it, but this did not hit the mark for me.

Absolutely forgettable.

This is the archetypal outlaw country that comes to mind when someone mentions the term.

Not as funky as some of the Wonder's albums I've listened to. Sadly that meant it was kind of forgettable for me.

I expected to like this more more, but alas. The singing and the harmonies are superb, but the lyrics and the production feel superficial and juvenile. Sometimes I found myself wanting to skip a song.

It was surprisingly listenable. Wes has some very good riffs. It's Fred Durst's voice that puts me off.

Behold, an Arcade Fire album I didn't just hate.

I didn't expect to like this that much, but it's very diverse and innovative. A very unique sound.

I actually knew only the hits, but it's the more uncommon songs that really drove this home to me like Pictures of Home and Lazy. Glad I listened.

I was pondering if I should give this 3 stars instead, because some of the songs felt a bit forgettable to me. Then again the sounds and songwriting on other songs really resonated with me and made me want to learn to play these, so I guess that takes it to 4.

There were some earworms, but they were a bit annoying. Highlights were North American Scum and New York, I Love You but You're Bringing Me Down.

This one has some of my favourites, but also some fillers.
