It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back
Public EnemyYEAAAAAH BOOOYYYY
YEAAAAAH BOOOYYYY
Before listening: I feel like I won't like this that much, not that interested in 70s as a whole. I do really like the album cover. Listening: I actually quite like the instrumentals, not super into the lyrics, they feel a little basic at times. His voice isn't great at some points. I really like the funkier bass ones but not so into the slower ones. I really like the more politically motivated/commentary lyrics, about the end of the 60s etc. "I guess I'll call it sickness gone, It's hard to say the meaning of this song" is great. I still don't love his voice, though... Final reactions: Half the songs were bangers, half dragged for me. I don't love his voice, I think that affected my enjoyment a fair bit. Decent, though. Standout songs: Walk On, Revolution Blues (actually a banger), Vampire Blues, Ambulance Blues (I'm sensing a theme here)
BREAK ON THRU 2 THE OTHA SIDE Alabama Song is truly a terrible song what the hell JIM STOP SAYING "LITTLE GIRLS" End of the Night is kinda spooky and fun. The lyrics are dull and cliche tbh. Maybe they are the origin of the cliché but whatever. I feel like I'd like a lot of songs much more without them, like Take It as It Comes is quite good musically but the lyrics are so boring.
Almost perfect except Animals
Hell yeah. Five! Five! Five!
Lol the timing of this. Actually some bangers but a bit repetitive.
Quite fun, some in music parts, but on the whole it doesn't fully sick with me.
I'm not a Pulp girlie I fear!
Lovely listen, nothing groundbreaking, though.
I wanted to like this as seeing more of the Beach Boy's other than their hits really interested me but I just don't like it. Idk what it is about them. I think it's their vocal production mixed with the keys, I get it's GOOD I just don't like it. Standout was Student Demonstration Time for me. I actually think it followed a pretty formulaic rock and roll formula and I'm not actually sure what they were trying to say, I think I was just happy from a break from actual Beach Boy's stuff
Woah this is like high production value Elliott Smith. I like his early stuff better but this is still nice.
Wow I actually really like this, why have I never listened to Patti Smith before?? Land is my favourite.
Ray of Light is truly one of the best songs ever This album is great. Some really interesting production on here, has that almost industrial sound at times that I love. 4.5 rounded up
I really don't like this. To me it sounds over produced and I don't like the vocals. Getting through this is a slog, I see why they removed it from the book lol sorry not sorry Least favourite BY FAR so far
Sandwiching a one star with two five stars I see! Gorgeous, I love this album. Hallelujah makes me want to cry every time
It's not bad but why are people obsessed with them? idgi Box of rain is a beautiful song Almost at the end and I'm bored now.
sleigh (slay)
Yoooo I didn't expect to love this
Nice easy listening. Can see myself listening again! Probably a 3.5 rounded down.
Im going against everything I believe in but I cannot give this a fair listen because WHY do DMR have three albums on this list? THREE??
YEAAAAAH BOOOYYYY
I was quick to write this off a bit when I saw it but it's lovely. Will likely revisit! Especially if I happen to be sat in nature lol
Big beats are the best get high all the time
Fun but a lot of it sounds samey to me!
Really enjoyed the first few songs but it just went on a bit too long. However I have had roadrunner roadrunnaaAAA stuck in my head for a day so well done.
pedophile :(
I had a lot of fun listening to this! 3.5 rounded up
Ah man that was a hard one to rate. I weirdly really wanted to give this a 4 as I love some of their other albums but this has very high highs and pretty low lows for me.
Proper country, great storytelling, yee haw
I'm so bored The production is nice but the songwriting is so dull. Every song is really long but it's the same melody repeated throughout the full song If this wasn't Bob Dylan no one would care let's be real Also his voice sucks BOOOO
That's my man 😌
Two stars is now also reserved for albums that in no way deserved to make this list. This is fine but ??
Some absolute bangers, I didn't really like every song but it's an ALBUM ya know?
That was weird and I never really knew what was gonna happen in each song. Fun!
