You Pick It! – Which Album to Review in June?

Published on by 2loud2oldmusic62 Comments

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 – Halestorm – ‘Back from the Dead’

  Never Heard Before – Neil Young – ‘After the Gold Rush’

  Not My Normal Genre – Miranda Lambert – ‘Revolution’

  From My Collection – Boston – ‘Boston’

  From My Collection – Danger Danger – ‘Screw It!’

Let me know which one you would like to see and sometime in June, 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!!
