Since we're in the process of compiling picks for our annual Moovers and Shakers issue next week, we thought we'd put together a link guide of everything we've reviewed this year. Even though it shouldn't be at this point, it's always a bit staggering to reflect upon just how many albums are released locally each year -- and keep in mind, these are just the ones we've reviewed. There were clearly more issued than we had a chance to get to. And for what it's worth, there were about as many reviewed last year.
