Album of the Month - April 2022

[Hugh Jass II]

Unless I’m being dense I don’t think we’ve done one this month, which is odd considering the number of high quality releases we’ve had…

Really tough one to call for me. Two absolute standout releases that I’m struggling to separate, but I’m going to go for the Wet Leg girls.

1. Wet Leg - Wet Leg

2. Fontaines DC - Skinty Fia

3. Jack White - Fear of the Dawn

[Soggy_feet]

Very difficult to separate first and second as both outstanding and a very good album for third place. I'll go

1. Spiritualized - Everything was Beautiful

2. Fontaines DC - Skinty Fia

3. Wet Leg - Wet Leg

Agree with those three but also have Father John Misty and Orville Peck in the mix.

I was expecting Rammstein to be close to the top of my list after the first single, but in the end it trails the 5 above.

Still need to give Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, King Gizz and Regrettes a listen.

Best month for new music in ages! When’s the deadline?

1. Omnium Gatherum by King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard

2. Fear Of The Dawn by Jack White 

3. Bob Vylan - Bob Vylan Presents The Price Of Life

Wet Leg miss out after I remembered Bob Vylan's album and I wanted to put the new Rammstein in as well but the flow to it is terrible despite having some good tracks.

Well behind on listening this month. Been quite up and down in the ol' noggin so I tend just to default back to a few familiar albums and not keep up with the new stuff. Got a few days to catch up on a couple of the obvious ones.

3rd will be between Rammstein, Fontaines, Bloc Party, Wet Leg and The Linda Linda’s but need to give them all another listen today

Shit I forgot about Bob Vylan, yeah that is a good album and I had to edit mine after remembering.
