Opening this new question for people to request notable albums released this year that they feel merit a review, just to help AllMusic keep track - the final decision will of course be up the editors, whom I'd like to thank in advance for their generally excellent reviews and much-appreciated efforts to keep up!
I'll open this thread with rapper MIKE's excellent new album 'Showbiz!', which isn't even listed on the AllMusic website yet. The albums of his that have previously been reviewed have received consistently high ratings.
Good choice. Was going to request an entry on the missing entries thread but seeming as it's already been mentioned, I'll post some sources here too: You can find details for Showbiz! at the offical label's (10k) online store here, or on MIKE's bandcamp here.
It may also be worth mentioning that there are currently a couple of errors on MIKE's discography:
Both links also list additional details for those albums, like the tracklisting. If you have the time, feel free to add those details too.
EDIT: His bandcamp also has details for missing entries like, 'Winter New York', 'Longest Day, Shortest Night' 'War in My Pen' and 'May God Bless Your Hustle'.
Okay, I've got two albums that could do with reviews: Would listening to the new Dream Theater album, Parasomnia interest any of your writers? Given the numerous user ratings, it looks like there are many of us who'd look forward to reading it!
Also, this one's been a bit hard to track as it's been delayed multiple times. It's finally out - The Manic Street Preachers released their new album, Critical Thinking last week. I know the writer that usually covers them is (sadly) no longer with your editorial team. Will someone else pick up where he left off?
Great to see that there's now a review for Parasmonia. Made for a good read too. Do you know if a review for Critical Thinking is in the works?
I hope someone will still find a moment for John Glacier's excellent 'Like a Ribbon'.
I hope someone will still find a moment for Kelela's 'In the Blue Light'. Her previous offerings have been consistently highly rated on AllMusic.
I hope someone will still find a moment for Oklou's 'Choke Enough' and More Eaze & Claire Rousay's 'No Floor'.
Can I recommend a pair of albums by two new British acts? I'm intrigued to see what your editors think of the new releases by Heartworms and Divorce. Would really appreciate a review for them.
I hope someone will still find a moment for the new Coheed & Cambria record, their last one was very favorably reviewed and they tend to atract quite a lot of user reviews as well.
Heads-up! This one got reviewed last week and (spoilers) it was well-received.
Given the warm reception of Meridian Brothers, I hope someone will find a moment for Los Piranas' 'Una Oportunidad más de triunfar en la vida' as well.
I hope someone will find a moment for Will Smith's 'Based on a true story', which appears to be entirely absent from your website at the moment. :)
I hope someone will still find a moment for the new Cymande album 'Renascence'.
I hope someone will still find a moment for the new Motorpsycho album. Their previous efforts have often been very well-received.
This might be a longshot but is there any chance of you reviewing the new albums by Bartees Strange, Miki Berenyi Trio (Lush) or Great Grandpa? Appreciate the hard work!
I hope someone will still find a moment for Terrace Martin's 'Albion Files'. His 'Drones' was very well-received on AllMusic in 2021, but all subsequent output has been ignored - this one isn't even listed. He's a major producer (heavily involved in 'To Pimp a Butterfly', for example) and this album features Robert Glasper among many others.
I hope someone will still find a moment for Mark de Clive-Lowe's new album. The previous one was favorably reviewed by AllMusic.
I hope someone will still find a moment for the new Deafheaven album 'Lonely People with Power' and Paleface Swiss' debut 'Cursed'.
Deafheaven review is finally available: https://www.allmusic.com/album/lonely-people-with-power-mw0004466166
I hope someone will still find a moment for these pretty fabulous mixes Laurent Garnier recorded for Fabric.
Nice that you recognize Horse Meat Disco as trending, but the nicest of course would be if you'd actually review their new 'Boogie from Brazil' compilation. :)
I hope someone will still find a moment for Kip Moore's 'Solitary Tracks'. HIs previous albums have all been well-received at AllMusic.
