Happy Friday! We have another batch of over 40 releases for you this week, but will any of them be talked about more than Taylor Swift’s new one? Probably not. However, that doesn’t mean she has the only important release because there is another one I will listen to probably more than hers. Yes, I will listen to hers as my girls are fans and I won’t be able to escape it. Let me know what you want to hear this week and what we may have missed. Thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!\
Taylor Swift – Midnights – (Taylor Swift): She’s BACK!!! Taylor is knocking out albums faster than Aaron Judge was hitting homeruns. This one is supposed to be about dreams or nightmares she has had…or something like that. All I know are my kids are excited. And Taylor will sell more albums than anyone and she hasn’t even released one single for this album yet…as a result, no video to show. If I get up in this morning and there is one, I will update.
Stryper – The Final Battle – (Frontiers Records): Micheal Sweet and company are back again. Talk about putting out a lot of albums. Michael Sweet is a freaking machine. And I think the quality has been there so I am on board for another one. Bring it Mr. Sweet!!
And then all the rest…I hope you find something you like…

For the very first time I am passing on a Stryper album. They’ve turned me off recently and all their stuff sounds the same.
Nothing for me this week. Not even Swifty.

Ha! I’m not getting Swifty either. The kids will I am sure (with one of the kids I will have to pay for it so I guess I am getting it).

I think my wallet will remain in pocket this week. I’m surprised to see Sloan with a new release, given Chris Murphy’s health (think it was Bells palsy he has). I heard Chez Kane sing with Crazy Lixx. She has one hell of a voice.

Boom. Mic drop. You could have just ended your post right then. Lol.
This list is almost like T-Swift and the 80’s resurgence – I’ll probably tune in to the pride of Scotland, Simple Minds and then we have A-Ha, Stryper, Babyface, Ugly Kid Joe, an ONJ remastered hits, and even a Debbie Gibson Christmas album!
