It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

All Ratings

Sex Packets

Digital Underground

2/5

This feels very much of its time. The 80s. Hip hop, before it took so much Rap and R&B influence. Similar vocals to Fresh Prince of Bellaire.

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Public Enemy

1/5

Old school too.

The Wall

Pink Floyd

4/5

This is the music my dad always listened to. I actually really liked the album. It felt dynamic and there were really great interludes that reminded me of other modern albums. It felt more like a story was being told.

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

4/5

Really enjoyed this album and is very much what I think of when I think of the boy bands of the Beatles era. Good casual listening. I'd have it on in the background with guests over.

Station To Station

David Bowie

2/5

good but not my thing

Gorillaz

Way more dynamic than i thought it would be. Spans so many genres. A few of the old faves in here but the other songs were just ok.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

3/5

I didn't mind it. Not my thing but the music was nice.

Tago Mago

Very much jazz. Long jazz tracks. It's nice, easy listening.

Felt Mountain
