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! Now, if you want to cast more than one vote, comment on the Twitter and Facebook post and you could get up to 3 votes on your favorite pick.
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 – Aldo Nova – ‘The Life & Times of Eddie Gage’
Never Heard Before – David Bowie – ‘Blackstar’
Not My Normal Genre – Beyonce – ‘Lemonade’
From My Collection – Steve Vai – ‘Passion & Warfare’
From My Collection – Journey – ‘Raised on Radio’
Let me know which one you would like to see and sometime in May, 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!!
Black Star….but be ready to be depressed.

Not quite familiar with Aldo Nova but I am a sucker for concept albums/rock operas, so my vote goes to “The Life & Times of Eddie Gage”

Didn’t realize Aldo Nova was still around. All I really know of him is “(Life is Just A) Fantasy” from the early 80’s so I’ll vote for him.

Yeah, he is quite busy. He has this one and another new coming next week…a reimagining or modernization of a lot of old songs.

I actually gave it a good listen in the car this morning on the way to work and I can say I like it, but not sure how to describe it. Bowie for me is very intimidating to comment on.
