Kind of resurrecting the old Trollheart's Listening List idea for 2018, but perhaps somewhat less structured. I'll be listening only to albums I've recently downloaded (these should mostly be new ones, but may not all be) - and by recently I mean over the last one, two or even three years! - and have never heard before, and the reviews will be short and succinct, like the ones in my Albums of 2017 thread. As that particular thread is still well in progress, don't expect anything like the frequency you see there. I might post one album a day, or one a week, or anything in between, and there may in fact be no set regularity at all: one week I might do one every day (or more) and the next week one for the whole week, or even none. It all depends what I can fit in as I try to manage my other threads, The Album Club and so on.

The main point of this thread though is to get (force) me to listen to all the albums I've downloaded over the last year or two, many of which lie unopened as it were on my hard drive. The last time I looked, my “downloaded albums” queue showed 2,754 albums. That's a lot of music to just sit there and be ignored, forgotten or put on the long finger. So hopefully this will allow me to hear at least some of what I've downloaded, and say what I think of them. They won't be in any order, as a matter of fact I'll be using a random number generator to pick which one I listen to, so it will be very, um, random.

I'll use the same get-out clauses I use in my album thread, ie Oh Hell No!, Three Strikes and Bailing Out, and the same rating system. In fact, in many ways it will be a copy of the format of that thread, though without the deadline and therefore also without the frequency. Also, I will NOT be taking suggestions for albums here: these are purely the ones I've personally downloaded and not yet listened to.

Up next:

Journey to the Centre of the Earth - Rick Wakeman (1974)
Genre: Progressive Rock/Symphonic Rock

INDEX

Unicorn - Emotional Wasteland
