Some weeks are bigger than others. And when it comes to new albums, this one is definitely plus-sized. There are more than 140 albums, EPs and singles being released next week. Even better: A ton are albums I want to hear. If fact, there are so many big releases next week that rather than spend hours writing blurbs for them all — and make you waste your time reading my drivel — I’m just going to highlight them in the list and toss in a few videos. Mark your calendars and pre-order your favourites — but don’t blame me if things change at the last minute:
