Way behind here but I figure since I gave up on listing all the albums I'm listening to in the other thread the least I can do is list my top albums for February (which was a bit worse than January IMO)

Only three albums got the ole ++ rating:

The Menzingers "After the Party"
Skull Kid "Protection Charm"
Nothington "In The End"

I also am learning a tough lesson about trying stuff like this. I had a few weeks away for work and now I'm sitting at something like 25 albums behind, even though I've just passed up the 100 albums mark. Crazy!

 

Steve you spelled the word "Monthly" wrong.

 

Well, shit... Congrats on being the only person to notice!!

 

Everyone should listen to the Midnight Reruns album! Some good rock and roll, uh, music!

 

quiet month for me, still gotta check out the mike will made it tape

March shit I loved the most:
Sorority Noise
the new Fleet Foxes and Julien Baker tracks

March shit i also enjoyed:
Passion Pit
the new Lorde tracks

 

I do agree that the month was a bit lighter for me, but these are my favorites that I listened to from March

Conor Oberst - Salutations
Dia Frampton - Bruises
Drake - More Life

Charli XCX, Zara Larsson and Passion Pit are all solid albums not not "favorite" level for me

 

Same here. All I really listened to was More Life, Sorority Noise, The Obsessives.

 

Good shit March 2017

Drake - More Life
Charli XCX - Number 1 Angel
