It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

All Ratings (597)

Not really my bag but one or two good songs.

Yeah decent this, particularly enjoyed New Year’s Day

Not my cup of tea really but enjoyed Violently Happy

Appreciate how revolutionary this would have been when released

Yeah, really good from a band I already had a liking for. Iceblink Luck a track I particularly enjoyed.

Only criticism is it’s quite long but some great songs on here.

One of my fave bands but maybe album in need of another few classic songs?

Meh

Bit punky for my liking

She’s Out Of My Life is the pick here.

Different, started well but got a bit samey and whiney

Meh, good cover but not many standout songs

Stone cold classic

Just noise. Shite.

Enjoyed the vibe of this however it was perhaps a little too long.

Can’t go wrong with TBB

Solid record

Started well but bit too grimy for me by the end

Nice and mellow

Listened while stripping paint off the stairs. Great album!

Didn’t expect much but decent groove and sound to this

Enjoyable sound, enjoyed Louisiana 1927 in particular

Actually not too bad, bit lighter and rockier than expected. Enjoyed Secret 77

Another 3 star, neither here or there really. This is Love is a standout.

Really, really good. Jazzy and soulful. Loved the version of You are my Sunshine.

Enjoyed more than I thought I would. Benny and the Jets is an obvious highlight.

Bland and inoffensive

Better than expected, Trash was my favourite.

Decent
