Listening Log Present - Volume 87



What's a Listening Log? Well, the idea is quite simple. It's a monthly segment that consolidates all the mini-reviews Dozens Of Donuts has given on RateYourMusic over the past month (excluding separate, full-length reviews), split between the Past and Present. A straightforward grading scale has been put in place, ranging from A+ to F-, with C acting as the baseline average. There is no set amount of reviews per month, just however many I get around to reviewing. Enjoy! 

September's Full-Length Reviews

Tonstartssbandht - Petunia
Aaron Dilloway & Lucrecia Dalt - Lucy & Aaron
JPEGMAFIA - LP!
