As we all know by now, new releases hit record-store shelves and digital-download services each Tuesday. That’s why self-titled presents the following every week: a new release you’d be stupid not to own (Buy It), one worth checking out if you’re the curious type (Burn It) and something you might have heard about but probably should avoid (Skip It). Simple, ain’t it?

After a much-needed break, we’re finally ready and willing to christen some BUY/BURN selections from the past few weeks. (Our old columnist, Aaron Richter, will be back on Tuesday, bringing a regularly-scheduled SKIP IT nod back with him.)

Let’s get right down to it, then, shall we?

With far too many new releases vying for your dwindling dollars, self-titled presents the following every week: an album actually worth owning (Buy It), something to share among friends (Burn It) and a disc that disappointed—or infuriated—us in some way (Skip It).

Simple, ain’t it?
