Some outfit called Bullet for My Valentine has taken the logical opportunity of the holiday to make the official American release of their debut album.
As to something having to do with music though, the best looking item here is The Wolf Tracks: The Best of Los Lobos. Los Lobos has just about enough A-material to make one good fat CD, and this seems to represent just about right.
Here's the complete list of this week's major new album releases, courtesy AMG:
