Happy Friday everyone!! You made it to another weekend so sit back, grab a coffee and relax. There are over 45 albums on here which might the most I’ve ever had on a list. Knowing that, I am confident there will be something for you to enjoy. I have a handful of releases I am excited about and they are highlighted in Blue. Let me know what you would like to hear or what I may have missed so everyone can know about the release. Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful and exciting weekend.

•   Queensryche – Operation: Mindcrime (4CD/DVD Box Set) – (Capitol Records): We getting a double treatment of goodness from Queensryche. The first is a 4CD box set celebrating my favorite concept album Operation: Mindcrime. It has the remastered album, bonus track and I believe live shows as well as a DVD with a lot of videos. I can’t wait.

•   Queensryche – Empire (3CD/DVD Box Set) – (Capitol Records): The second is a three disc set of their masterpiece Empire. Another of my favorite albums. This is remastered with more bonus material and a live show. Everything you would want. And a DVD of the videos and such.

•   Buckcherry – Hellbound – (Round Hill Records): Josh Todd and company are back with another dirty and nasty bit of rock & roll and I am completely fine with that. I really dig his vocals and some times you need to let loose and they are usually pretty good for that.

•   Jennifer Nettles – Always Like New – (Jennifer Nettles / Concord): Now sometimes, I like to go a little lighter and dare I say Country. Usually not very often, but if I do it is with Jennifer as I love her vocals. She could sing the phone book and I would be okay with it. Hopefully that isn’t what this is though…and does the audience know what a phone book is or am I dating myself??? LOL!! Actually, I think this is going to be a departure for her so not sure what to expect.

And there is is all the rest and there is a lot of it!!! Enjoy…
