Next update on June 30th
I need to add more European review sources to my alternate formula. I'm realizing mine is kind of slanted toward the US, I need to fix that next year.
What's your email address?
E-Mail = stefplu@hotmail.com
The top rated album for June will be Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes
Wow the 90s artists and the 40+ somethings are dominating. And someone had the nerve to say rock stars careers die out at 30. The 20 year cycle for the first time is becoming the 18 year cycle. That's how bad the 80s was.
I'll go with Wolf Parade - At Mount Zoomer for now but might change my pick later depending on the reviews.
I'll take Bun B. Il Trill.
II trill that is.
Fleet Foxes looks a good bet. Songs in A&E could be another one, thought it was far gone into the realms of parody personally.
Having heard Wolf Parade it's unlikely to be be as well received as those two.
I think the top-rated new June album will be by an article of clothing that you would put on when you wake up. Been reading lots of good things about that one, due out next week.
I'll go with The Notwist just to be different and to pick up something there's a lower odds of me owning by the end of the year.
Fleet Foxes and My Morning Jacket are probably better bets. Bun B might not get enough reviews to jump too high on the list.
I think I can safely say that it won't be Weezer. That's one bad album.
The Fleet Foxes album is really good.
I'll guess My Morning Jacket - Evil Urges, just because I want it to be as good as Z
They have absolutely no chance, but I'm going to pick Opeth anyway.
My Morning Jacket - Evil Urges is my guess for June (+ cant wait to see 'em at Kool Haus in Toronto on 16th!!)
here you'll find my review of british Sea Power (in the language of Molière and Nicolas Sarkozy)
sorry
this was an article about the year 1983 (so your games at AM are very useful)

Henrik, the Mega-Critic link on the front page has the correct date next to it, but the link is still going to this post(as of late afternoon Chicago time on 7/1).
