People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

All Ratings (221)

Nothing stood out to me lyrically or musically, not my cup of tea I guess.

Good album with some great songs, tough choice 3 or 4 out of 5. Good range of humor and pathetic self pity. Big fan of Marr's guitar.

tough choice between 4 and 5, some great songs on here and great album, but a couple of clunkers makes it a 4.

A couple of clunkers, but too many amazing songs for it not to be a 4.

I didn't think I'd dislike this as I did, but something about their sound makes my skin crawl.

I liked the last song a bit, but the sound is very dated and doesn't hold the test of time.

I liked more than I usually like rap.

I listened to this album a lot when it came out and really liked, over time I guess my opinion of it has dipped a bit, but still a pretty decent album.

Hey it's got one really good song, the rest is a little too preachy and breathy for my taste.

Childish lyrics and every song sounding basically the same, and I'm generally not into punk, all adds to a 1 for me.

My ears still hurt.

couple of ok songs, but in general I don't like punk and apparently making it more folksy doesn't help.

I knew with the Yoko Ono/Chuck Berry screaming at the end of the first song that I'd be in for a rough ride. It actually wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but I'll never listen to this again, therefore it's a 1.

Wanky guitar, wanky organs and even wanky bongoes. Not my thing.

I used to like these guys somehow when I was younger. Now I find it horribly grating, plus maybe I'm not as angry.

The original shoegazers. Musically I found it pretty boring and lifeless.

if the whole album were more like the second half (and the outtakes), it might be a 4 or 5, but the stadium pleasers knock it down a notch or two for me.

What might otherwise be a pedestrian album is made special with Chrissie Hyndes voice and style.

couple of really good songs on there.

I didn't find any consistency to it, just a lot of showing off.

Has a few songs I don't love, but I'd give this album a 5 for "Here comes the sun" alone.
