It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Popular Reviews

Dolly sings about poverty, pride, love, and loss with a voice that never asks for pity, only understanding.

anxious, angry, and strangely beautiful, the soundtrack for recognizing the truth and realizing no one is coming to fix it.

Cheap Thrills sounds like a band barely holding it together and that’s the magic. Joplin pours out every ounce of herself, and the imperfections are what make it unforgettable.

It’s not perfect, but maybe that’s the point. The songs feel fragile and intimate, like you’re overhearing something private

Blows me away this was 1969 , every guitar slide, every crack in Plant’s voice, every Bonham stomp still feels alive.

Cold and distant, but there’s a pull to it, loneliness made strange and magnetic.

Natty Dread balances sorrow and celebration, survival and song. We honor “No Woman, No Cry,” but we can’t overlook the defiant power of “Rebel Music

When The Score was released I was in high school, and it felt like an explosion of cultures and sounds all at once. Growing up in a beach town, Marley was always the soundtrack, and hearing the Fugees bring something so new to something so familiar, it opened everything up in a whole new way.

Loved it

I love how it bounces between playful and emotional ,one minute it’s all club energy, the next it feels super personal.

Hendrix showing us he’s more than just wild solos, it’s this trippy, soulful, tender and explosive. “Little Wing” feel almost fragile, while “Bold As Love” chaos in the best way. It’s like stepping into his head and seeing all the colors swirl.

Dolly sings about poverty, pride, love, and loss with a voice that never asks for pity, only understanding.

You can hear how ahead of its time it was,smart, gritty, high-energy, and still incredibly fun to listen to

If I were in the Mood i may have liked it more, very Bowie

As a beginner exploring jazz, Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet felt approachable and fun to listen to. It’s the kind of album that makes you curious to hear more.

still hits as hard today as it did in 1988

still sounds weird, nervous, smart, and completely fresh almost 50 years later.

you don't need big production to create something powerful and lasting

Proof that great music can tell a story that stays relevant no matter how much time passes.

powerful art that comes from rebuilding after everything falls apart

It does not feel like those artists copied Throbbing Gristle’s sound. It feels more like Throbbing Gristle gave them permission to experiment and push music into strange new places. I cannot believe this came out in 1978. I probably would not listen to this particular album again, but I am interested enough to listen to some of their other albums.
