You Pick It! – Which Album To Review in August?

Published on by 2loud2oldmusic

You, my reader, are going to pick an album for me to review each month.  It is really simple…first, I will give you 5 albums to choose from and second, you will tell me which one of those you would like to see reviewed on the site.  See…simple!

There are a few simple rules I have put in to place in my selections.  They are…

  • One has to be a new release (within the last month)
  • One has to be one I have never heard before (new releases don’t count for this one)
  • One has to be from a genre I don’t normally listen to at all or very often
  • And the last two are choices from my collection that I haven’t reviewed before

What are the 5 albums you ask?  Funny you should ask because I have those right here…

  New Release – The Wallflowers – ‘Exit Wounds’

  Never Heard Before – The Sex Pistols – ‘Never Mind the Bollocks’

  Not My Normal Genre – Wu Tang Clan – ‘Enter the Wu Tang (36 Chambers)’

  From My Collection – Black Sabbath – ‘Paranoid’

  From My Collection – Twisted Sister – ‘Under the Blade’

Let me know which one you would like to see and sometime in August, I will post a review of the album that gets the most votes. You have one week to decide and from there I will start listening to the album and do a review.

Thanks for participating!!

      1. It was either Wu Tang Clan or The Wallflowers for me, went and listened to the Wallflowers and liked what I heard. Was never into the Pistols, or any sort of heavy metal. I think Twisted Sister and Black Sabbath are Heavy metal but could be wrong.

        1. Sabbath & Twisted are metal!! I had never been in to the Pistols myself but it is always ranked as a great album so figured I’d pick it as one of the choices. An Wu Tang, I’ve never heard either and wanted to check out theirs if selected.

  5. What?????? U never heard Never mind the bollocks? Hasn’t almost everyone done covers of Pistols songs? Mötley, Mötorhead, Antrax, even Bananarama. There’s tons. U really haven’t heard the album?
    And u even like Generation X.

      1. Should have seen my eyes go wide reading that u haven’t heard it. It’s a classic. Even if it doesn’t get chosen could u still go and listen on utube or somewhere? It says on wikipedia that it’s only 38:44 minutes long.
        Difficult to grasp this. Next you will be telling us that u haven’t listened to L.A.M.F…..

    1. Why the question mark…not confident about your pick? I think it is a good choice. It is a band I’ve never listened to as it is not a genre I really listen to so thought it would be a fun pick.

  9. There are at least three here I want you to review. But I’m going to go with Bollocks. I quite like the album but find I cannot listen to it frequently. It’s so abrasive. I want to know what you think.

  15. ALL FIVE. You made this choice very difficult!

    Man, how have you never heard Never Mind…? That’s an all-timer for me. I’ve gotta give my vote to it, just so you have the chance of hearing it.

  17. thanks for the shock. I listened to Bollocks twice today! Always refreshing. Makes me shake my head and making faces like a hooligan and dreaming of colouring my hair orange. So a typical summer feel….
    Listening to Lemonheads now.

      1. Don’t get me wrong, Never Mind the Bollocks is a classic record, but I think PIL put out a wider volume of great stuff. Metal Box is the opus, Flowers of Romance is a personal favorite.

        Never Mind is a tough listen. It’s so aggressive. I was into thrash then and it still took several listens for it to click with me. Now of course I’ve heard much more extreme/unlistenable music.

    1. I sent Harrison their song Sub-mission once and he liked it despite disliking punk.

      Their manager told them to write a song about BDSM/submission, so Lydon wrote the song about a sub-mission. A submarine on a mission. That’s punk!

        2. The original punk band, England fuck off though. Robert Plant saying Nirvana was our first punk band is so silly! Obviously he never heard The Ramones.

  24. I was going to say the Sex Pistols because I’m curious about your thoughts on the guy’s voice (since I hate it lol), but I’m suggesting Black Sabbath’s ‘Paranoid’ because it features a lot of classic Sabbath songs.
