We are two thirds of the way through the second quarter of #PVX (Platinum Vinyl 10 to the rest of you). And what a quarter it is January started us off with 4 Perfect 5's and February has blown that away with 11 Perfect 5's. It's a Temptation that may be impossible to Resist.

3 MTM to 11 Perfect. It appears that the candy store is open for business. But Hey, it's February, and candy and chocolate is in style. We have many criteria to pick a Perfect 5 Album, probably as many as the genres themselves. One of the major criteria is that the album is perceived as perfectly representing the genre that it is in. And in the case of New Hope Oahu, I have given a 5 for the effort. Turning non psalms into music is quite an undertaking. Most will not do it. On to the music in the middle.
