Almost every music label in the world releases new albums on Tuesdays and they've been doing it that way for decades. With the flood of new albums, week after week, how can you tell the fine albums from the filler? First-run greatness from repackaged garbage?
The Blogcritics New Album Releases column will keep you up-to-date on the best new releases every week, so you can plan your shopping accordingly.
With commentary and short reviews of the most anticipated releases, this is more than simply a list. It's the studied opinion of writers who immerse themselves in music every week. It's your own personal buyer's guide and it's interactive. The comments often erupt in praise and condemnation for the highlighted albums of the week, along with laments for the albums that ended up missing the spotlight. Check back every week and add your comments to the fray!
