Weekly Staff Picks Archive

We realize that some release dates can offer an overwhelming list of new musical projects to consumers. Starting in 2013, we decided to feature our top-rated top pick of each week's new music on the front page of Jesusfreakhideout.com. If you only had enough to buy one album in a given week, this top pick is our suggestion.

In case you'd like to see a complete list of which releases were featured which week, we've compiled the list below. [Please also note, like most spots on this site, this is NOT a sponsored feature. Only staff of Jesusfreakhideout.com pick our featured reviews. Also, advertising NEVER affects our album's ratings.]
