Not knowing much about Joe Jonas's new album, the hope is that it is an album full over covers of artists such as Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby. The album title implies that, at least, so it probably is a metal record.

There are a bunch of records here from artists who have been great at times but not necessarily recently. Minoque, Jennifer Hudson, and MC5 all deserve your love and money, so buy their albums.
