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 – Journey – ‘Freedom’
Never Heard Before – Metallica – ‘Kill ‘Em All’
Not My Normal Genre – Kris Kristofferson – ‘Kristofferson‘
From My Collection – Robin Trower – ‘Twice Removed from Yesterday’
From My Collection – Hollywood Undead – ‘Swan Song’
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!!
Kill em all

I haven’t heard any Robin Trower in ages so I’ll vote for that.

Trower probably won’t win any way. Metallica has kind of run away with it.

Wow! Tough call this time. Metallica or Journey? Will do tackle Journey eventually anyway? I’m going to gamble that you will, and pick Metallica.

Twice Removed from Yesterday… I saw Trower in the 90s…I saw Clapton, Santana, and Trower within one month….and Trower’s guitar playing I enjoyed the most…he didn’t have the songs the other two had but he might be the best pure guitar player I’ve seen live.

Metallica, because I need convincing to hear an album named “kill Em All’, even though I like their other 1980s stuff.

Kill ’em All. An awesome debut, raw and spikey compared to their follow ups… for me a similar vibe to how Nirvana launched with Bleach.

Yup, Metallica is likely the winner here. I’m surprised you haven’t heard it yet…well, before a day or two ago. I was interested in hearing your take on Journey, so that’s my irrelevant vote.

Pity the Robin Trower album wasn’t Bridge of Sighs… Anyway a vote for Twice Removed from Yesterday. James Dewar is such a great vocalist.
