As major releases slow down for 2016 and the site turns its attention towards its year-end lists, we’ve decided to compile one cumulative list for the month of December instead of going on a per-week basis. If there are any notable releases you would like to see added to this post or reviewed by one of our staff members/contributing reviewers, please let us know in the comments section. As our staff post reviews of these albums, links will appear below the art work so that you can read about the release, see how we scored it, and more.
We would also like to sincerely wish all of our users and readers a safe and hapy holiday season!
