It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

All Ratings

Boston

5/5

Mothership Connection

Parliament

2/5

I don't really like funk so I didn't really like the album. Some of the later songs were better than the first few

Fragile

Yes

3/5

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

2/5

More Specials

The Specials

2/5

Definitely weird style

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Public Enemy

1/5

Gonna be a nooo boooiiiiii from me

Buena Vista Social Club

2/5

I don't really love the genre, but the songs sounded not bad for the genre. A lot of the songs in the album (esp towards the beginning) sounded similar to me, but I don't understand Spanish (which definitely impacted my enjoyment).

Odessa

Bee Gees

2/5

I thought that the songs were super unremarkable and forgettable.

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

Sex Pistols

5/5

Loved the energy, very fun listen!

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

3/5

Not bad, solid positive vibes

Time Out Of Mind

Bob Dylan

3/5

Glad I listed to the album, I absolutely hate Bob Dylan's voice so I never would have found it otherwise. I still hated his voice, but I really enjoyed the music

Crocodiles

Echo And The Bunnymen

3/5

Kinda just alright, not memorable and not bad

Superfuzz Bigmuff

Mudhoney

5/5

Exactly what I'm looking for in music here. Upbeat, not too generic/boring/repetitive, long album, good for workouts, fun energy.

The Stranger

Billy Joel

3/5

Was just kinda neutral on the album

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

1/5

I listened to a '"live" album version on spotify, I swear this guy talked more than he sang whether there was music or not. Really old and slow music too, not my favorite

Back to Mystery City

Hanoi Rocks

2/5

I guess it's the type of music I usually like to listen to, but it was just way too forgettable for me to say I actually enjoyed or will remember the album

Pyromania

Def Leppard

3/5

Whenever I hear this band, I always feel like they have the ability to be really good but their music and arrangements are just really basic and bland

Pieces Of The Sky

Emmylou Harris

3/5

I don't think I'll ever like country, but this is about as close as I'll get to liking it

Tommy

The Who

5/5

I love this band's music, and Tommy. Was super psyched when I recognized Pinball Wizard and it came on. I also liked how the album felt like it had a progression, like I was at a concert or something

Dummy

Portishead

5/5

Gave me lofi music vibes, really solid music

The Man Who

Travis

2/5

I thought it was pretty boring

Elephant

The White Stripes

2/5

First song was epic! Rest was meh unfortunately

Violent Femmes

2/5

I just thought the album was pretty weird

Arrival

ABBA

2/5

This album reinforced my stereotype of pop songs as hit or miss. I liked Dancing Queen which Ive heard a million times, and as for the others from Mamma Mia!, I like the movie soundtrack versions better. The rest of the songs were misses for me.

Kid A

Radiohead

1/5

Reminded me of an advanced, techno version of garageband. I did not enjoy or understand the music

Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd

4/5

I feel like I enjoyed the music more than I should have. It was pretty chill and simple. Would have preferred more vocals

Paul Simon

2/5

Just not my kind of music, kinda boring to me

Talking Timbuktu

Ali Farka Touré

4/5

Super weird but I vibed with it

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

2/5

This felt like the type of music I'd hear in the background of a fancy restaurant. Not *the* music, but the *type* of music. Just... off somehow, like it was trying to be original poorly while trying to emulate established music (not bad-ly). Also overall I thought it was kinda boring.

Rhythm Nation 1814

Janet Jackson

4/5

I really don't like hip hop, but this is some of my favorite hip hop music that I've listened to. Like I originally wanted to give it a 2 but I ended up thinking it was a super solid album.

Channel Orange

Frank Ocean

5/5

I'm probably just biased towards more modern music but I tended to like the songs in this album more than most of the ones I've encountered from this website

Siembra

Willie Colón & Rubén Blades

2/5

It was kinda fun but sounded SUPER generic to me, also relatively short album

Like A Prayer

Madonna

4/5

This album renewed my faith in pop albums. Listening to other pop from this cite, I thought that all pop was either hit or miss (and if hit, overplayed). However, I thought that this music was pleasantly better than average. Not groundbreaking but decent.

Hard Again

Muddy Waters

3/5

Definitely not my style of music but I liked his voice

More Songs About Buildings And Food

Talking Heads

5/5

Very unorthodox and weird, I felt like I was listening to bad music but I actually loved it. Maybe a little repetitive beat at times. Props for being super unique, fun, interesting, upbeat, and consistent but not stagnant

Our Aim Is To Satisfy

Red Snapper

3/5

I thought this was one of those albums where I don't mind the music but it's just so forgettable for whatever reason

Led Zeppelin

5/5

When I saw the artist, I had high expectations. They were filled.

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

5/5

Some crazy music, I loved it. Title track was maybe a bit too crazy but I had fun and it was some impressive piano regardless which I appreciate

Iron Maiden

4/5

I thought it was pretty ok but forgettable, nothing too special

The Hour Of Bewilderbeast

Badly Drawn Boy

2/5

I thought the music was extremely forgettable

The Marshall Mathers LP

Eminem

4/5

Public service announcement had me dying of laughter. Say what you want about this album, it has a lot of character. Super strong late 90s/early 2000s vibes. Eventually it got a bit repetitive for me

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

1/5

I absolutely cannot stand Bob Dylan's voice, this was probably my least favorite album I've encountered on this website so far.

Reign In Blood

Slayer

2/5

Usually I'm partial to heavy metal and also relatively newer music. But for whatever reason it didnt really click with me. Also would have preferred a longer album.

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

5/5

Reminded me of Adele

Station To Station

David Bowie

2/5

I usually like Bowie, but this short album felt uninspired and slow/tedious

Document

R.E.M.

2/5

Kinda just background music for me, didn't really do much or catch my attention

Qui sème le vent récolte le tempo

MC Solaar

1/5

I don't speak french, and I'm not the biggest fan of 90s hip hop

Shadowland

k.d. lang

3/5

Idk, not bad, weird genre

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

4/5

I love punk rock in general

Music in Exile

Songhoy Blues

2/5

Decent music but not my style

Kilimanjaro

The Teardrop Explodes

5/5

Idk I liked it

The xx

3/5

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

5/5

Never thought Id vibe so much with an older album. First off, 10/10 album name and artist name, and also song names. Songs had no singing, but they were still super fun and somehow didnt feel repetitive. Felt like I was in Cuphead

Suzanne Vega

3/5

Groovin'

The Young Rascals

2/5

Not a fan of British invasion music. This sounded relatively not bad for this genre, but I also did not like the poor audio balancing

A Wizard, A True Star

Todd Rundgren

3/5

Chirping Crickets

Buddy Holly & The Crickets

3/5

Rage Against The Machine

4/5

I can't say I fell in love with the album, but I liked it. I always appreciate albums with personality, and this one had a LOT of angst. This is one of those albums that feels like if you rate it poorly, you're trying really hard to make a statement. Which is a good sign that this album is decent and at the very least culturally significant.

Definitely Maybe

Oasis

3/5

Agh I am getting tired of the brit pop albums. It's ok ig

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

3/5

Music From Big Pink

The Band

2/5

Hotel California

Eagles

4/5

It's good music, it just didn't resonate with me personally so I can't give it 5. But still really good.

Halcyon Digest

Deerhunter

5/5

I just really liked it

The Message

Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five

1/5

Not a fan of hip hop in general, this album was not an exception

Close To The Edge

Yes

1/5

3 10+ minute long songs in an album is certainly a choice. Not my favorite choice.

Olympia 64

Jacques Brel

1/5

Listening to 60s emotional ballads in a language I do not understand is not really my ideal album listening experience

The Score

Fugees

2/5

It was pretty cool to see 2 songs I recognized. And I didn't hate the beats. But wow every song is sooo repetitive.

In Utero

Nirvana

4/5

Very very solid rock

Punishing Kiss

Ute Lemper

1/5

Weird cabaret style music. The voices were also quite irritating at times.

Casanova

The Divine Comedy

3/5

Head Hunters

3/5

4/5

I love this genre and this album

5/5

No complaints from me

Rufus Wainwright

4/5

Talking Book

Stevie Wonder

5/5

I recognized the first song from this album as a song we studied in my musical theatre performance class in college. Also recognized Supserstition. This isn't my go to genre, but the music is incredible, the voice is amazing, and the vibes are soaring

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

2/5

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

2/5

...Baby One More Time

Britney Spears

2/5

Title song is a clear outlier. Rest of the songs are very boring and sound the same. Bubble gum pop, which is weird for such a popular artist

Deep Purple In Rock

Deep Purple

3/5

Recognized Ian Gillian from Jesus Christ Superstar! Great voice, but uses wayyyyyy too much falsetto. Instrumentals I also really liked, just didn't pair with the voice.

Too Rye Ay

Dexys Midnight Runners

5/5

Weird voice but I loved it

The Köln Concert

Keith Jarrett

3/5

Nothing crazy, just pleasant piano music

Virgin Suicides

Air

2/5

Back At The Chicken Shack

Jimmy Smith

3/5

Imperial Bedroom

4/5

Wasn't paying attention very closely to this album during my workout, but the music sounded pretty fun and upbeat

Nixon

Lambchop

2/5

Blur

1/5

Wow I strongly disliked this album. It sounds like random garage metal that didn't fit together and often vaguely/strangely reminded me of other songs I've already heard of.

Fulfillingness' First Finale

Stevie Wonder

2/5

Usually I like Stevie Wonder more, but the album was kinda meh for me

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

4/5

Call of the Valley

Blunderbuss

Jack White

3/5

Amnesiac

Radiohead

2/5

This band is so weird, sometimes its not bad and sometimes its nothing

I actually really liked this and almost gave it 5, but album was too short, none of the songs particularly stood out to me, and they were just a bit too similar
