You Pick It! – Which Album to Review in September? (Updated)

NOTE: I had to make a change to the New Release – KK’s Priest was moved to October 1st as release date so would now not be out in time to review for September. Sorry for the last minute change. I think Iron Maiden is a suitable replacement.

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 – Iron Maiden – “Senjutsu”

  Never Heard Before – Captain Beefheart – ‘Trout Mask Replica’

  Not My Normal Genre – Dr. John, ‘GRIS-Gris’

  From My Collection – Neal Schon – ‘Late Nite’

  From My Collection – U2 – ‘The Joshua Tree’

Let me know which one you would like to see and sometime in September, 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. I figured you would go with that one. Your review made me remember I had never heard that one so needed to use it in one of these. I did have to change the New Release pick as KK’s Priest was moved to October 1st.

  1. We are on the same wavelength, John – Beefheart was this week’s artist of the week and I clicked publish on a Dr. John post no more than a few minutes ago!
    That being said, I’ll vote for U2. They’re a group that I’ve lost track of in the last 20 years or so, but I bet if I picked up the Joshua Tree again, I’d remember why I was such a fan

          1. Thanks. I don’t know if I’ll go to the book as I want this to be a fresh listen and just give my interpretations. And if I find it interesting enough, maybe do a deep dive. I am a little intimidated with this one though.

  2. Iron Maiden – Senjutsu please! Even though I know everyone’s probably going to review it! Also, for KK Priest, I’m still upset about that name, like seriously, they couldn’t think of a different name that wouldn’t draw comparison between the two bands?!?!

      1. I guess not. To be honest, when I was researching the band, KK became iffy for me. I read that when Glenn’s Parkinson’s started going bananas, KK was like, “how come they never brought me back?” It’s not like he got along with Glenn very well anyways.

  3. I don’t know who this Beefheart is. I’m always up for discovering new bands. Besides, the album title has me thinking about Fishheads by Barnes & Barnes.
