 Against the Grain - Rory Gallagher - Similar Albums
After releasing two albums in 1973 and a live, contract-fulfilling disc in 1974, Gallagher returned rested and recharged in 1975 with a new record label, Chrysalis, and a band with almost three years of hard touring under their belts.
With its attention to detai, Against the Grain sounds more practiced and intricate than most of Gallagher's previous studio discs, but still includes some of his most powerful rockers.
On this album, the band and engineer Andy Johns mix studio tricks and sound effects, blues-based song structures, a driving rhythm section, and Alvin Lee's signature lightning-fast guitar licks into a unified album that flows nicely from start to finish.

 Against tha Grain - Kurupt - Music Reviews
The 2005 release of Kurupt's Against tha Grain was surrounded by drama.
The album itself is strong -- well rounded and slick but with sharp teeth and a hard ghetto punch.
Against tha Grain recalls when gutter creativity and phat West Coast beats were the label's bread and butter and all the driven music steamrolled over the competition with little concern for what people -- or the boss for that matter -- were sayin'.

From the opening salvo of "Feels Like Rain" to the spectacular closing of "Whirlwind", Love Is Against The Grain promises to be one of the best albums to add to one's collection.
The concept of the album seems to center around the inward views of different people, and how they relate themselves to the person of God.
With a project like "Love Is Against The Grain, " and the bands determination, you cansafely expect to hear the name "Dime Store Prophets" for a long time to come.

 CanEHdian.com: The Stampeders
Originally released in 1971, "Against The Grain" was the debut album by Calgary's Stampeders.
The album contained a dozen original songs written by Dodson, Berly and King in the style of the band was unique but it has been compared to such American bands as CCR, Poco or even the Byrds at times but with a Canadian twist to the lyrics.
The sound on this release is superb and the album sounds as fresh today as it did 30 years ago when it was first released.

Rory himself has admitted that he was less than satisfied with his studio history, and although live albums have been released, they, too, have lacked the excitement generated on stage.
That is not the case with "Against The Grain.” Furthermore, rock is the main course on the Gallagher menu.
It would have been natural for the album to contain a fairly large percentage of simple acoustic blues numbers, due to Rory’s appearances at a number of such festivals during the year, but it hasn't happened.

 TheContrast.net » Blog Archive » Bad Religion - “Against The Grain”
Against The Grain is undeniably one of their best early records, the pace is constant (ie fast!) the production is crisp, the bass grinding and the melodies and voices stiring.
Although this album doesn’t really demonstrate the diversity of composition that later releases such as “Recipe For Hate” and Stranger Than Fiction” possess it has a glorious urgency and spark.
Now, after a career spanning 25 years, this seminal album stands up as a vital recording, a benchmark for many other, and not so original, punk bands to draw influence from.

I'm pleased to report that Kurupt's long awaited new album "Against The Grain" is finally on the way.
The album will be released on Tuesday, August 23, on Death Row with distribution by Koch.
And after countless delays, there didn't even seem to be too much focus on the album at last (apart from the music itself), since the album is lacking in proper promotion.

 Bad Religion : Against the Grain - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
The third in a flurry of releases that followed Bad Religion's 1988 reunion, Against the Grain found the band's edge honed sharper than it had been in years.
Increased clarity between mouthpiece Greg Graffin, guitarists Brett Gurewitz and Greg Hetson, and the rhythm section of Jay Bentley and Pete Finestone increases the inherent melodic tension and amplifies Graffin's righteous lyrical anger.
Its best moment might be "Turn On the Light." As a thick, trademark Bad Religion melody rips in the background, Graffin spits out lyrics that define ideology with literate pacing, even as they ignite the genre's base emotions.

 Agalloch: Ashes Against the Grain: Pitchfork Record Review
The band's third album, Ashes Against the Grain, the first full-length since 2002's The Mantle and sundry EPs, is their hugest, most artful collection to date.
The opening section moves from piano to strumming-n-drumming against falling stars and fuzz bath; a drum roll links it to the second part, and the track ends where Agalloch often does-- in melancholic triumph.
The finale, subtitled "The Grain", is the one time the record lags a tad: It's pretty, but it lacks the propulsivity of what came before it.

 Against the Grain: An Interview with Bruce Hornsby
As good as his albums were, however, none of them seemed to capture the many faces of Bruce Hornsby or the magic of one of his concerts, and he always seemed to have more to say than he could possibly fit within the boundaries of a studio album.
He seems to thrive there — going against the grain and creating music that was meant not for a commercial market, but for himself.
Hornsby is currently making plans to record an entire album of bluegrass material with Ricky Skaggs, and he already has begun writing songs for his next studio release, which is due sometime next year.

I love Against the Grain, and listen to it more than Nevermind, but, to be honest, it didn't really do anything for the music scene that BR's previous albums hadn't already done.
Against the Grain is good, a more "solid" rock album, but not as good as "Suffer" or "No Control".
I love all BR albums (even New America and No Substance) and this is without a doubt up their with suffer, no control, generator and POB.

 METALEATER.COM - Album Reviews - Agalloch - Ashes Against The Grain
Though the band hasn't been entirely silent since their last album, having released a couple of EPs and a split album with NEST in-between, the members have all kept busy with their own projects such as SCULPTURED and the truly odd one-man-band ESPECIALLY LIKELY SLOTH.
The only real critisim for "Ashes Against The Grain" would be the lack of a faster track along the lines of "Hallways Of Enchanted Ebony" to snap the listener out of their reverie and inspire them to bang their heads with the fuel of fresh adrenaline and subsequently might bore those looking for something speedier.
Thankfully this doesn't happen until the end of the album and can easily be ignored or tossed into the background for those not interested.
