Aug 22-28

Because there can be hundreds of releases a month style is noted to help you find something you are interested in. There is also my personal recommendation score ranging between -1 to +3.

-1 - not for me or just bad

+0 - not particularly interesting or not that good

+1 - worth checking out if you like the style

+2 - interest peaked and may be added to buy list after a listen

+3 going on my buy list

+4 already bought or pre-ordered

(As of March 27, I am no longer covering all Ep’s)
(As of April 20, I am no longer covering digital only releases. Cassettes don’t count; This isn’t 1984)
