Hey guys and gals! Happy Friday! We have another large list of releases for you this week. I will apologize upfront as there are not videos for all of the releases as I am writing this, I am recovering from surgery and it is rather uncomfortable so don’t feel up to a the full post, but at least want to get you a list of the top releases for the week. My choices are highlighted in Blue. Let me know what you are most looking forward to hearing this week and what we may have missed. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a great weekend!!

•   Ellefson / Soto – Vacation in the Underworld – (Rat Pak Records): Jeff Scott Soto and former Megadeth bassist David Ellefson join forces for what I hope is a total beast of an album. It is cool sometimes to hear Soto go heavy. My review on this will be one of the last reviews in the Jeff Scott Soto Series so it will be awhile before we get to it.

•   The Cult – Under the Midnight Sun – (Black Hill Records / Round Hill Records): Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy bless us with another album as it has been 6 years since the last. Sign me up please!!

•   Bush  The Art of Survival – (Zuma Rock Records / BMG Rights Mgmt): I actually enjoyed their last album, so this one will get cued up for sure. Glad to see Gavin Rossdale and gang back.

•   Queensryche – Digital Noise Alliance – (Century Media Records): Todd La Torre and Queensryche have been giving us quality and quantity and so I will give this one a try as well.

And then there is all the rest…and again…sorry, no more videos…
