2021 Albums

[Julian, Adroit TASTEMAKER]

all is well with the world as the Manics in the end topped the charts... although quite frankly my money is on the fact the Steps album is more fun to listen to...

While I adore their early stuff, MSP lost me somewhere around 2003. I can't imagine sitting down and listening to new material by them in 2021.

[StoneTheCrow]

Agreed. It was great to finally see them and the Holy Bible is one of the best albums ever made. But they’re done.

Long piece in the Times about this... but this is from Kevin Whalen of The Wrens... he decided after waiting years for the other chief songwriter in the Wrens to finish something he decided was time to just record and release what he had written on his own
