Thank god it's a light week lol I'm almost caught up from 2025 . From 2026 first releases I'm done with those. I have the month of November to finish than done with 2025. Thanks for all the updates on New music I appreciate it🤟
Couple I listened to were ok. Denominate I need to try still. There’s actually been a few good albums last week like Ellende and Woe though so not sleeping on all these.
