Albums Your Looking Forward to in 2008

[Krash100]

Pretty self explanatory thread. What scheduled releases for next year are you looking forward to?

For me, it would have to be The Verve's first new album in 11 years. Call me a sucker for brit-pop, but from what I've heard so far looks like their saying "f*ck the strings we're playing space rock again"

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Raekwon - Cuban Linx II
new Kayo Dot
new Boris (I assume?)

[Kyle]

Foals
Youthmovies
Los Campesinos! - Hold On Now, Youngster
Portishead
Tokyo Police Club
**** Buttons
Rolo Tomassi
Animal Collective EP

Yeah if theyre gonna go down a similar route as the first album and ep's it could be one of the best releases of the year... But you never really know. Could be some great suprises this year.

[Chicken And Waffuls]

the cool kids
santogold
black kids

[A Dead Modernist]

No Age
Kayo Dot
Lightning Bolt
Animal Collective

[Anxious]

Kayo Dot.

[Interstate]

New Kayo Dot & Tokyo Police Club are the only ones that I can think of right now, even though they've already been mentioned. Hope Death Cab come out with a new release as well.

[perriwinkle]

Goblin ****
Circulatory System

[Matt?]

[Time]

Sun Kil Moon, My Morning Jacket, Eluvium (I assume)

[asdf]

Portishead.

[sweboy]

Howlin Rain (hell yes), Dead Meadow, Protest the Hero. Bands that haven't released stuff in ages and really should be releasing something new soon imo: Espers, Jack Rose, Brightblack Morning Light, The Blithe Sons.

[Kyle]

Hope Death Cab come out with a new release as well.Scheduled for a May release, although I didn't really get into Plans at all so I'm not optimistic.

I think there's a new Girl Talk in Jaunary and also the new Dre which will probably suck, but it's Dre so I don't care.

[niobium]

sun kil moon
portishead will be interesting
kayo dot
royksopp plz another melody am
gnarls barkley

[Anxious]

Howlin Rain (hell yes), Dead Meadow, Protest the Hero. Bands that haven't released stuff in ages and really should be releasing something new soon imo: Espers, Jack Rose, Brightblack Morning Light, The Blithe Sons.

Spencer Krug has too much stuff on his plate, he should focus more on Wolf Parade, they are his best band.

[cbmartinez]

[Teddy Picker]

Howlin Rain (hell yes), Dead Meadow, Protest the Hero. Bands that haven't released stuff in ages and really should be releasing something new soon imo: Espers, Jack Rose, Brightblack Morning Light, The Blithe Sons.

[Krash100]

If we get that long rumored Blur EP with Coxon this year I will probably sh*t myself.

[YDload]

i dont know whats comin out except Sun Kil Moon. right now im still concentrating on finding and listening to great albums of the past, but only because i generally have bad luck picking new albums. i need to know if they've been acclaimed by someone first :(

Yeah man, they released one album in 2006 and a new one is coming soon.

[EightMilesHigh]

new elliott smith

[Time]

I heard there should be a new Madvillain album and a possible MF Doom/Ghostface collab next year which would be so sick. Oh yeah and there will be a new Stephen Malkmus album but I don't really know what to expect from him anymore.

[cbmartinez]

hopefully a new tv on the radio too

[Reaganista]

[perriwinkle]

[malaise]

Chinese Democracy

[Little Man being Erased]

The Bronx
This. Holy crap I can't wait.

[Bukowski]

the new Times New Viking and Dead Meadow have leaked, I'm looking forward to hearing those. Don't really know what else, I'm just gonna go with the flow like always.

[Zebra]

I'm also looking forward to the new Dead Meadow, I had no idea that it leaked.

[Bukowski]

They're playing live again soon, if the new album's good I'm gonna go. They were pretty sweet last time.

[Kyle]

I remember seeing them support Dinosaur Jr and they ruled, but when I saw them on their headline show it didn't have the same effect. I guess I can only take too much of them.

[Interstate]

Scheduled for a May release, although I didn't really get into Plans at all so I'm not optimistic.

Wow, didn't realise that, thanks for the heads up. I've been a bit out of sorts with new releases and scheduled albums recently. It took me a while to get into Plans but I eventually ended up loving it, can't wait for their new release.

[Figure8]

Patrick Wolf, Antony and the Johnsons, Final Fantasy, This Will Destroy You, Morrissey, Beach House, A Silver Mt. Zion, Kayo Dot, British Sea Power, Ef, Of Montreal, Animal Collective and Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton.

[lilsolsman]

New Jason Mraz, new Sun Kil Moon, and hoping for a new Margot and the Nuclear So and So's

I'm not that excited about the coming year.

[Anxious]

The new Dead Meadow is okay...I need to listen to it a few more times though.


I'm planning to see them live in 2 months, I'm excited.

[ATM]

Where can I see the tour dates?

edit: arghhh they aren't playing DC

[Anxious]

[camdizzle]

I'm interested to see whether or not Bedlam in Goliath will suck as much as Amputechture

[seamantis]

Im looking forward to new secret machines. Some of their stuff is a bit meh but they have moments of genius.

[Robert Crumb]

The new Mountain Goats album supposedly leaked. I need to get on that.

[Teddy Picker]

Yeah man, they released one album in 2006 and a new one is coming soon.

yeah i found the album from '06 right after reading this, cant wait to hear the new one

[Happymeal]

Cursive probably. New Black Mountain is pretty good.

[AndreTheHyena]

This. Holy crap I can't wait.

Is it true they're doing an album of mariachi?

[MattSharpIsCool]

Weezer

I thought Make Believe was a step in the right direction after the previous 2 albums so I'm hoping this one will be even better.

[Little Man being Erased]

Is it true they're doing an album of mariachi?
No idea. I haven't heard a single thing about the album, apart from the fact that there will be one.

EDIT: on closer inspection, it appears they are working on two albums. One is apparently mariachi and the other is dead punk. Both to be released by the end of summer.

[AndreTheHyena]

I heard a rumor that they were releasing a proper album, and then a second album which would be straight-forward mariachi covers of the first...

[Little Man being Erased]

Hah, yeah...

[Kayetan]

m83
sun kil moon
karl blau

those are all i can think of. a new one from Ryland Bouchard would be really nice.

[cbmartinez]

these arms are snakes/pelican split

[Anxious]

I always thought it was weird that TAAS are on Hydrahead.

[Excursions]

Earth - The Bee Made Honey in the Lion's Skull

[Teddy Picker]

Arctic Monkeys may be releasing their third album this year

[YDload]

NME editors buy climax control condoms so they can at least wait until the album comes out before shooting their load over it

[Catchthe22]

Rx bandits EP
(Hopefully) Maps & Atlases

[Kyle]

Forgot about the new Why?, Xiu Xiu, Destroyer and Russian Circles albums.

[Teddy Picker]

apparently QOTSA are already amped up to record another record this year. On the flip-side, Green Day better not record another album because they sold out and I am sick of their inability to play anything but power chords

[YDload]

hahaha you think green day sold out

[Teddy Picker]

hahaha you think green day sold out

Im just not a fan of their new stuff. All of a sudden they tried to become political and it kind of threw them in the wrong direction. There are many bands that could pull off the political agenda, but they are not on my list

[YDload]

my point is that green day has never sold out because they were always huge tools

[Teddy Picker]

yeah....good way to put it. i guess you could say they got worse than they already were
