What CDs are you most looking forward to this year?
 

I know you can't predict what may come out later this year, but there are a ton of new cds coming out in the first half of this year. What are you most looking forward to? For me off the top of my head, it's:

Deftones
Team Sleep
Ill Nino
Cold

The White Stripes - Elephant
Lou Reed - The Raven

A Perfect Circle

Death Cab for Cutie (??)
The White Stripes
Califone
Mogwai is due for another release sometime, but I don't know if they'll do anything this year or not. Maybe Interpol and LIARS will put out new stuff as well. I don't know the schedules.

Hopefully a new Guster, a new Grandaddy, a new Coldplay (one can dream!).

New Radiohead.

Obie Trice
50 Cent
Rakim
Jay Z - Black Album


Probably LOTZ more just cant think.

Agreed. Also hoping for

- Black Star
- Big Daddy Kane
- Dr. Dre
- GangStarr
- Ghostface Killah
- Lauryn Hill
- Killer Mike
- Ludacris
- Big Boi (of Outkast) solo project

I doubt half of them will even come out :(

Well I think that Killer Mike and Ludacris should come out this year.. All others are up the air :)

DETOX - Dre probably will never come out hahah :) he moves it back every couple months. First moved it back because he is putting out Rakim and now moving it back cause he just signed Ice Cube and wants to put him out first... damn SOMEday we will get Detox I guess.

2PAC
METALLICA
GUNS N' ROSES
50 CENT
DR. DRE

I thought Better Dayz was the last Pac album we are going to see.

The Healers (Johnny Marr's new band)
Fleetwood Mac

Can't really think of any I am anticipating in the first part of this year. I am wishing that Air would have something new out, though.

Already have the Virgin Suicides and the Premiers Symptomes EP? Both are :up: :up: -- I would suggest when you get a chance to also pick up / check out Deck Safari: Part One which doesn't really have Air but has songs chosen from their record collection. :)

new...

Jayhawks
Fountains of Wayne

My 2 faves (bon jovi, def leppard) both had new CDs in 2002 so '03 won't have anything from them.... I can't really think of anything I know that's on the horizon.

The new Iron Maiden.

I don't know what else is coming out yet?

Alkaline Trio
The Ataris
No Motiv

Some of the new Pearl Jam concert CDs from the 2003 tour.
Weird Al

But that's all I can think of off the top of my head.

The Meteors - From Beyond
The Meteors - Box Set
The Meteors - Demos
The Meteors - "Psychobilly"
Reverend Horton Heat - live CD
Mad Sin - Sweet & Innocent? ... Loud & Dirty (re-release)
Mad Sin - Part I - Mad Sin Plays Only...
Mad Sin/Battle Of Ninjamanz - split single
The Living End - untitled
Social Distortion - untitled

I think I heard that Opeth is coming out with a new one this year. But I haven't really been paying attention.

they just released "Deliverance" last month. The follow up (and entirely mellow by reports I've read) cd "Damnation" is slated for world-wide release sometime in March.

If Damnation is even close to the album that Deliverance is, It's going to be awesome.

A PERFECT CIRCLE
KILLER MIKE "Monster" (will be out in February)
OBIE TRICE
50 CENT
WHITE STRIPES
RAKIM

Guster and Radiohead

Can't wait.

OK Go, Linkin Park, OLP, the Vines, and the Used...

Nope, their is at least 1 or 2 [maybe 3] more albums left from 2PAC... but it will be 1994 material and it is going released by his MOM [AMARU records], nothing to do with DEATH ROW...

full length album from:
British Sea Power
Straw
Massive Attack

ah.. Isn't this the year that 2 Pac is suppose to come back. ;)

The ex members of Guns n Roses album
Chinese Democracy

SEPTEMBER 13=RESURRECTION;)

Judging by the resounding success of their tour, you may be waiting quite a while for that album...

Anyway, just off the top of my head, I'm looking forward to
Guster - Come Downstairs and Say Hello
Wilco (new EP this year)
moe. - Wormwood

Hoping to get new stuff from Old 97's, Robbie Fulks, eels, String Cheese Incident, Latyrx, Robert Walter, Chuck Prophet, Galactic, among many others.

New album from

Ocean Colour Scene

due this Spring.

The Dandy Warhols
Erykah Badu
Fiona Apple.........?????????????
A Perfect Circle
Tindersticks....??
Tricky...?
Placebo

and.............Portishead? Maybe? Maybe?

and some others I've read about that may happen....
Wilco
Interpol
The Strokes

Radiohead

28th Day (reissue, late Feb)
Ailer's Set (2/11)
Bonnie Prince Billy (1/28)
Cat Power (2/18)
Ted Leo/Pharmacists (2/11)
Nothing Painted Blue (mid 2003?)

I'm sure there are tons more I'm not aware of. It's like that every year.

Fiona Apple's next one, which should be out by late spring.

New U2 album
Paul MacCartney's rework of Let It Be
New Fleetwood Mac (maybe)

Any chance of a new Liz Phair album???

When is the new Radiohead supposed to come out?

June

My picks:

Radiohead
Portishead
Zwan
Faye Wong
Fountains of Wayne

it aint new, but my fingers are itching for the DVD-Audio of Pink Floyd's "Darkside of the Moon"
