The Release Radar
This page will be updated monthly and shows which artists have announced album drops and when. Obviously, there are way more artists than I, alone, am willing to review, but if they’re on this list, they will be reviewed (excepting live or compilation albums) or simply discussed (high profile re-releases or compilations such as Metallica’s Blacklist, which was fun, or any re-recorded albums from Taylor Swift).
