I had a placeholder post on page 12 but I finally edited my post, compiled and ordered my list if anyone wants to check it out.

 

No worries buddy, love the album

 

What's your band teebs? I'll take a listen .

 

Out of Service. We put out our debut lp “Morning” back in March of last year. Thank you, Appreciate it!

Out of Service - Morning

 

You should it’s a great album!

 

I haven't gotten to listen to the entire album quite yet or as closely as I'd like but a standout so far that I really am digging is "The Whole World".

 

You're the only other person I've seen mention Handsome Ghost, that is such a great album and was a really pleasant surprise for me last year. That Against the Current album was also one of my favorite finds of the year.

 

Handsome Ghost would be top 5 if I were ranking my albums based on pure beauty of sound. As much as I love the album every time I give it a spin... I don't find myself going back to it all that often so that's why it was given a mention as opposed to a high ranking number .

I can echo these sentiments at 38, but what a great year to have a lot of stellar releases. Even with the limited time I have compared to when I was younger, I feel like there were a lot of high quality releases filling up that time.

 

It is the moment you've all been waiting for
