Drive-By Truckers The Men War on Drugs Black Lips? Cloud Nothings (could be early April)
Anything else I'd like?
Two things out already for this month that I am really digging are the Revivalists and Real Estate. Both have been my first deep dive into their music and both are going to make me go back into their respective discographies more.
While we're waiting for the February votes since all the releases for the month are out, here's what March holds (it looks like another strong month):
March Cheat Sheet (as always, I didn't include EPs, collections, reissues, or live albums):
Pharrell Williams - G I R L Drive-By Truckers - English Oceans Eagulls - Eagulls The Men - Tomorrow's Hits Real Estate - Atlas Trust - Joyland Rick Ross - Mastermind Mac DeMarco - Salad Days 311 - TBA Freddie Gibbs and Madlib - Pinata Dean Wareham - Dean Wareham Glenn Kotche- Adventureland The Hold Steady - Teeth Dreams Black Lips - Underneath the Rainbow Perfect Pussy - Say Yes To Love The War on Drugs - Lost In The Dream The Hold Steady - Teeth Dreams The Used - Imaginary Enemy Foster The People - Supermodel Future Islands - Singles Howler - World of Joy Simone Felice - Strangers The Colourist - The Colourist Ghost Beach - Blonde Liars - Mess Tokyo Police Club - Forcefield Band of Skulls - Himalayan Cloud Nothings - Here and Nowhere Kaiser Chiefs - Education, Education, Education & War Thievery Corporation - Saudade Imogen Heap - Sparks Information Society - Land Of The Blind John Frusciante - Enclosure Elbow - The Take Off And Landing Of Everything Taking Back Sunday - Happiness Is

This month was really hard. I flip flopped a lot. I have nine albums this month that I listened to a lot and really enjoyed. No clear cut winner and I will probably change the order over the course of the year, but for now it's
2. Angel Olsen - Burn Your Fire For No Witness 3. Sun Kill Moon - Benji 4. Woods of Desolation - As The Stars 5. Marissa Nadler - July 6. St. Vincent - St. Vincent 7. Mark McGuire - Along the Way 8. The Notwist - Close to the Glass 9. Sunn O))) with Ulver - Terrestrials

Top 7 for me in February:
1. SKM Benji 2. Q Oxymoron 3. Neneh Cherry Blank Project 4. Mark Maguire Along the Way 5. Wild Beasts Present Tense 6. St. Vincent St. Vincent 7. Woods of Desolation As the Stars
One of the strongest months from beginning to end that I can remember. Really quality stuff in abundance out there right now.
I'm new to this, but I've got a question. Some of the albums March's cheat sheet seem to come out in April. Can we list/order the cheat sheet based on release dates? I've done some of the footwork, via metacritic.com. Not trying to step on toes, I just know it would help me and I'm sure others too to see when each album comes out.

So two good points. First I noticed that some of what was originally listed as March is actually April 1. We always have this issue when the first is on a Tuesday. I will modify the cheat sheet to correct that.
Second, I always think about doing them by date release but two problems with that. One is that release dates shift a lot and two, sometimes multiple sites list different dates for the same release. And I use multiple sites because no single site lists all of a month's releases that cover the varied tastes of this board. But in rethinking this, at least starting the sheet with by date order would probably be more useful. I will go by date as best as possible starting in April.
