Oct. 30 - Queensryche - Operation: Mindcrime (1988)
Oct. 31 - Voivod - Nothingface (1989)
Unfortunately, due to the limited number of days I had to leave out some great albums, and had to stop myself from having more than one album per artist (lest Maiden and Sabbath take up half of the albums on the list).
Tomorrow is October 1st, and the listening shall begin!
