February was already a great month for me for new releases, but yesterday and today have boosted it to a fucking fantastic month with my top 2 there.

[zahidf]

1. Nick Cave & Warren Ellis - Carnage

2. Mogwai

3. Black County New Road

[Punksnotdead]

Ok, my top 3 was never in doubt, the only question was what order. I've just listened to all 3 again, so:

1. The Hold Steady - Open Door Policy (maybe it doesn't deserve it, maybe I'm just biased cos I love them so much, but......I don't give a fuck!)

2. Black Country New Road - For the first time 

3. Mogwai - As the love continues 

Fantastic 3 albums, I'll be amazed if any of them fail to make it into my top ten AOTY list.

Haven’t listened to a huge number of new albums this month, but in no particular order, I’m loving

Django Django

Nick Cave / Warren Ellis

Black Country, New Road (not the A41 in West Brom)

You have to give a particular order, that’s the whole point!

Apparently so. Hadn't realised the digital release was last year. Vinyl and cd was 2021.

2, Melvins - Working with God

3, NoFx- single album

Honourable mention for the Food Fighters album. I somehow decided I wasn’t going to like it before I listened to it but to be fair I've given it a fair few spins this month.

For me they are a really consistent band. A band I could easily spend a few hours going through the back catalogue. Thought their previous 2 albums were their weakest but this ones a real return to the standard of the first couple.
