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

3/5

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.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

3/5

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

Tago Mago

Can

2/5

I like it. Old school rock. Ok then it got a little crazy with these long intros to songs that were nonsense. Not sure how I feel about the whole album now.

Trout Mask Replica

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

2/5

So hard to find this album. Found it on youtube I think and it was super funky. I was not a fan

This is iconic beastie boys. old school hip hop. Not really my favorite but it's iconic.

Dizzee Rascal

3/5

This is like Rap met Trap. Not my thing, but actually I can see it being good for small hype Reels.

Meat Loaf

3/5

This feels like classic Rock and Roll. The cover made me thing death metal but this is just metal. I enjoyed it enough but probably wouldn't buy the record.

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

Great album! I've known I've liked Black Keys. So many iconic songs on here. And a good softer rock album.

Older love songs. Kinda hippy vibes. A famous song (the title of the album) and Mr. Guder is kinda the same starting vibes as a Glass Animals song.

Bitches Brew

Miles Davis

3/5

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

Felt Mountain

Hmm, not sure what to say about this album. It's like simply a woman's voice singing with very light music happening. Maybe some sort of Jazz?

Best of Nirvana?! ya, it's very good.

It was kinda mobo-y and didn't love it. It was in a different language too.

Instrumental band, maybe some swing dancing. Sounds like they are supposed to be a protest band but I'm not seeing it. Maybe it wasn't this album. Some tropical songs too.
