I'm trying to get this feature happening the week the new album reviewed comes out and should have it that way soon, but I'm going back to March 13th for tonight's post. Based on your votes, I've got the self-titled release from Delta Spirit in the First Impression crosshairs.
Last week, we unveiled a new feature called First Impressions, which is a single-listen, stream of consciousness style review of a new release chosen from reader votes. I kicked it off with Bruce Springsteen's latest album, Wrecking Ball. But the truth is, the vote was a tie between the Boss and the newest from Andrew Bird. So before we get to this week's release, I gave a spin to Mr. Bird's Break It Yourself for all those that voted for him.
In an effort to cover more new releases in a more timely manner, I came up with a new feature. I'm calling it First Impressions. The idea is to choose one album a week and write a stream-of-consciousness review during my first (and only, for review purposes) listen. The pick will come from your, our reader's, votes. Think of it like live-blogging meets Faulkner meets Greil Marcus meets American Idol...only it's really nothing like those things at all. Why don't you just click through to experience it for yourself so I can stop the absurd comparisons?
