Venom - "Welcome To Hell"
1981

I'm not the hugest fan, but this is still decent...
Modern English // Mesh & Lace
While none of their recordings get the attention that the hit Melt With You received (borrowing the name of the previous album for a lyric), this is a very strong debut album from 1981.

Edith Frost // Telescopic
1998, Drag City Records
I was listening to her new album "In Space" and then going down the rabbit hole... To say she's made her way into my brain is to say that subconsciously I've gotten to know her these last 30 years. Collaborating with many, a voice of one.

Hope this isn't flagged with the cover photo by Duane Michals.
Bauhaus // In the Flat Field
My first time participating and I missed the note about the deadline, total rookie mistake. I remember thinking I was voting in the prelim exploration phase. But I'll get on track for future 5's. Here's my original / mclusky replacement / final #5debutalbums0004

Argh, the debut mclusky album I should have mentioned is My Pain And Sadness Is More Sad And Painful Than Yours #5DebutAlbums0004
I now realize I messed up my mclusky recommendation, so I just want to say I second this motion #5debutalbums0004
