As each Friday in August hit, it was met with quite different scenarios, not least the arrival of two acts which dominated proceedings in the late ’90s/early ’00s. This includes new music, and the albums keep churning. Music is power and while it doesn’t always get one through the tough times it certainly helps in more ways than many could imagine.

September may be the last dying days of summer but fear not because Getintothis’ staffers have rounded up a veritable feast of albums for you to get your ears around this month.Īnother month down.
