366 Albums – February
Every day of a year, I am listening to a different album for the first time.
Previous months:
I realised a few days into February it is Black History Month. I never intended to have themed, or focussed months, but there happened to be a lot of albums from black artists I wanted to listen to, so I decided to continue what I accidentally started. There are some excellent albums here.
I am still not too happy with my rating system. A heart emoji has now been applied to albums I really enjoyed and have since played again, but that penalises albums played at the end of the month. Maybe next month I'll crack it.
As a reminder:
- ❤️ Played again
- 👎 Wouldn’t listen again
- 💀 Awful
No emoji is positive.
