What do you anticipate to be your favorite albums to debut in 2007?

[BurtonCCC]

I know you're all like me: you listen to a ton of music and try to keep up to date on all the new releases your favorite artists are putting out, but sometimes there's just so many that a few slip under the radar and you find yourself on the iTS, coming upon a new album, and saying, "When the $#%@ did [insert artist here] release this?!"

So list what you're excited about and maybe we can all learn about a release we didn't know about from each other.

Bright Eyes "Four Winds - EP"
Bright Eyes "Cassadaga"
The Academy Is... "Chop Chop"
Thrice "The Elements"

Daniel.

[furryrabidbunny]

The Shins "Wincing the Night Away"
The Arcade "Fire Neon Bible"
Talib Kweli "Ear Drum"

When is the Bright Eyes LP releasing?

[Cassie]

Probably not this year, but I'm waiting for the new AC/DC album.

[Jaffa Cake]

I enjoyed the first albums from KT Tunstall, Arctic Monkeys and Kaiser Chiefs so I'm looking forward to their second albums that are due out over the next few months, plus the new British Sea Power album that is supposedly out soon.

[Butters]

At the moment I'm looking forward to hearing

God Module - Let's Go Dark and
VNV Nation - judgement

both new albums to be released this year :)

[BoyBach]

The new Arcade Fire and Norah Jones albums.

...plus the new British Sea Power album that is supposedly out soon.


Yes please! :)

[dhc]

The new Bloc Party album is due for release on the 5th Feb - much anticipation!!!

[jamesarm97]

Anything by Poe, she has not released anything since 2000 because of a contract dispute with Sony. Supposedly it ended 2007 and she is working on a new album.

Anything 80's, Duran Duran would be nice.

[zelmo]

I think there are supposed to be new albums coming in 2007 from Coheed & Cambria and Marilyn Manson. I'll be looking forward to both of those.

[bozigle]

huge expectation on
Not Too Late by Norah Jones release 30 jan

bozigle

[calculus]

For me it's the new ones from Arctic Monkeys and Arcade Fire.

I'm also really looking forward to the debut album from The View - next Monday!

[psychofreak]

Maximo park's stuff is incredibly awaited by me...

[dornoforpyros]

Chinese Democracy! Axl promises it this year!.. no FOR REAL this year :rolleyes:

haha naa honestly I'm not really looking forward to anything, I just enjoy discovering new bands so I look forward to finding some nice indie debuts as every year there's a nice handful of awesome debuts.

[Foucault]

Can't wait for the new Clap Your Hand Say Yeah album.

Other albums I'm waiting for...

The Shins, Norah Jones, Portishead, Radiohead, and Morrissey.

[BoyBach]

The new Bloc Party album is due for release on the 5th Feb - much anticipation!!!


Here's hoping it's as good as 'Silent Alarm.'

I'm also looking forward to the new Rufus Wainwright album.

Edit: And Monday sees the release of the debut album by The View. I have high hopes! :)

[n-abounds]

New Nine Inch Nails cd

New Smashing Pumpkins cd (but I'm MOST excited for their tour)

[rockthecasbah]

Thrice "The Elements"
Daniel.
I didn't know Thrice was coming out with a new album! I'm certainly excited for that, but i really hope it is much better than "Vheissu," that album was such a disappointment! I really hope they bring back their sound like "Artist In The Ambulance," that was my favorite album by them, one of my favorites ever in fact.

Other albums:

-The Shins' new album
-new Kenna album ("Face" ???)
-"Lucky You" soundtrack (new Bob Dylan song it called "Huck's Theme")

I'll think of some more later, that's what i got right now :)

[wozzlewoozle]

Radiohead!

[Sirus The Virus]

Radiohead, Arcade Fire, Norah Jones, Portisihead, I can already feel that 2007 is going to be a way better year than 2006.

[OwlsAndApples]

Definitely Bloc Party! The Good, the Bad and the Queen has already been released and I really like it. Hmm, the Klaxons album is out on Monday I think. Hopefully the Maccabees will release an albulm. Maybe even a new Yeah Yeah Yeahs...

If i'm really lucky, Coxon will rejoin Blur and there'll be another one of those ;)

[Reaver]

I will be waiting for Bloc Party, The Shins, and the new Interpol albums so far thats all I have heard that I want right now.

[gloss]

I'm listening to Of Montreal's 'Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?' and it's brilliant. I'm psyched for new Radiohead and Fountains of Wayne, too. I'm on the fence about Thrice. I really, really enjoyed 'The Artist in the Ambulance' but 'Vheissu' was a huge letdown.

[panoz7]

Of Montreal's one of my favorite bands. I haven't had a chance to pick up the new album yet. Glad to hear it's good.

Lyrically, it's uncharacteristically dark and personal, which is why it's such an impressive album. I really like 'Satanic Panic in the Attic' and 'The Sunlandic Twins', but this one is on a level of its own by virtue of being fun AND meaningful.

[matt311rocks]

Arcade Fire - Neon Bible (Heard entire album, nothing short of amazing)
Wilco - Sky Blue Sky
Radiohead - (I don't know what it's called but I have heard it is to be the most straightforward rock album since The Bends :-))
Modest Mouse and The Postal Service are also expected to release. 2x Sonic Youth LP in 07 as well.

the postal service? really? :D i need my gibbard fix.
when might this expected release happen? i hadn't heard anything about it...

i'm really excited about the modest mouse album as well..."dashboard" is pretty catchy, and it's been stuck in my head for days. hopefully the rest of the album will do the same!

[jamdr]

The new Arcade Fire album is absolutely incredible.

The new Shins is alright, better than Chutes Too Narrow.

I'm looking forward to getting the new Of Montreal album, I really like a lot of their past stuff.

[dopey220]

I'm a prog nerd, so:

Dream Theater - Title TBA
Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet

[killmoms]

Well, the Shins album is already awesome (and was for the three months I was listening to it before it came out). So is the Arcade Fire's new one, "Neon Bible" (comes out March 23rd).

Beyond that, I'm hoping the new Massive Attack and AIR CDs will be cool. Jimmy Eat World is putting out a new one, as is Filter (hopefully). There are rumblings that Portishead is working on new material. My favorite band ever, Sigur Rós, is back in the studio, but that album probably won't come out this year. Enon is working on a new one as well, which is exciting for all eighty people that listen to them (check out "High Society" if you've never heard of Enon, it's a great record).

There are a couple others escaping my mind at the moment. But there are a lot of CDs coming out this year from acts I like. It's exciting.

EDIT: Oh yeah, Postal service and Modest Mouse too. Wow. So much stuff.

[panoz7]

Lyrically, it's uncharacteristically dark and personal, which is why it's such an impressive album. I really like 'Satanic Panic in the Attic' and 'The Sunlandic Twins', but this one is on a level of its own by virtue of being fun AND meaningful.

I went to three stores and none of them had it. My luck... Satanic panic in the Attic, in addition to having one of the best names ever, is my personal favorite. It's certainly fun to listen to.

Anyway, I was able to pick up the new Norah Jones Album, which I've been quite fond of so far. Clap Your Hands Say Yeah's second album is pretty good... I liked their first one better overall, but a few of the songs on the newer one are quite good. The Shin's new album is just as good as I thought it would be.

[PreacherKane]

Probably the new Air album when it comes out.

Support Your Local Musician on MacRumors.com:apple: :cool:

[ChrisBrightwell]

Nine Inch Nails
Skinny Puppy
Norah Jones

[gloss]

Radiohead - (I don't know what it's called but I have heard it is to be the most straightforward rock album since The Bends :-))


I've actually heard it's going to be very spare and minimal. The live tracks I've heard seem to back that up.

I might pick up the new Arcade Fire album, although I was only so-so on their debut.

How can you be so-so on the best album of 2004? ;)

It was a slow burner for me, but I absolutely love it now. I think "Funeral" is one of those records that either resonates for you personally and you go "...wow :eek:" or it doesn't and you end up wondering why everyone loves it so much.

[BoyBach]

I've been listening to "Hats Off To The Buskers" by The View for a little over a week now, and after looking forward to it for a couple of months it gets a resounding meh. Yet another band who want to sound like The Libertines. *Yawn*

So it's over to Norah Jones and Arcade Fire to set my 2007 'music fire' alight. I have very, very high hopes for these two albums.

I don't dislike it, but I always had trouble swallowing 'Laika'. I think that song tainted my experience with the album. Heh.

It's odd, because I tend to like that sort of oddball indie pop (I enjoyed the hell out of Wolf Parade and Islands, for example). I dunno. I'm sure I'll end up checking out their new one anyway.

You guys should pick up 'Friend and Foe' by Menomena. I've been quite liking it.

[redmeister]

probably NIN and then im anxious to hear the new metallica album (last one was nothing special, hopefully this one is better). but it might be in 08 still not sure about dates

[ChrisBrightwell]

i do like them

[moobey]

Streetlight Manifesto- spring release
Bad Religion- summer release of their 14th studio album
Rancid- maybe...
Big D and the Kids Table- Strictly Rude

[wmmk]

Radiohead's new album and I/O from Peter Gabriel...
EDIT: oh yeah, and the new dream theater thing

[eMac4ever]

I'm quite looking forward to Annie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Lilia_Berge_Strand)'s new album. Xenomania, Richard X, Alan Braxe, Timo Kaukolampi, and Greg Kurstin are all doing songs for the album, so obviously I'm quite "pumped" for it. Also, Brian Higgins is the executive producer on the album, much like Stuart Price on Madonna's latest album. Girls Aloud's album is sure to be good. I really wonder about Britney's though; it could be either very good or very bad.

[generationxwing]

I can guarantee my favourite album of 2007 will be the return of the Smashing Pumpkins. Guarantee.

[twoodcc]

[TheDance511]

The Vines new album

[Drewswa77]

ZEITGEIST from the Smashing Pumpkins

Any new Arcade Fire and Postal Service

[pdxflint]

Police - 30 year reunion tour live album, hopefully late 2007, or by mid-2008.

They sounded great this morning announcing their tour...

[Swinny]

Spiritualized (The spaceman almost died - can't wait to hear what he makes out of that experience!)

RJD2 (cos hes RJ, and we need something to make up for that shocking Shadow album)

B.R.M.C. (Howl was astonishing - hoping for even greater things now they are back as a proper trio again)

Supersuckers (Cos we all need some rock'n'roll!)

The Arcade Fire (Funeral is great, so hope they can match it at least)

[ReanimationLP]

Linkin Park - Third Studio Album (Uhh, some year it'll come out)

Chevelle - Vena Sera

When November Falls - The Series of Emotion

Trapt's Third Studio Album

[BoyBach]

I was just browsing play.com when I found an album that I've been really, really, really looking forward too, even though I didn't know it existed!

A new Kings of Leon album (http://www.play.com/Music/CD/RGNCS/3-/1720260/Because_Of_The_Times/Product.html)

:cool:

[fistful]

New Moon - Elliott Smith (double CD of songs recorded from 1995-1997)

[Bobdude161]

Anberlin : Feb 20th, two days away!
FLAW : They're back together and making a new album!!!
Five Bolt Main : On their live CD it says new album in April. Not sure if it's talking about FLAW
The Used : May 8th?

I'm REAAAALLY excited this year for new album releases! :D :D :D

[Bobdude161]

Trapt's Third Studio Album

OMG, WHAT??!?!?! YES!!! I think I just crapped my pants!

[n-abounds]

I can guarantee my favourite album of 2007 will be the return of the Smashing Pumpkins. Guarantee.

For sure. C'mon spiritual successor to Siamese Dream...

[A-Dog]

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Baby 81
Queens Of The Stone Age - anyone know the name?
NIN - Y. Zero
Low - Drums & Guns

More to come..

I checked out samples of the new RJD2 LP--definitely cool stuff, but he himself is singing (and touring with a full band) more, and I heard less rapping on his new stuff. I liked the MC's he records with..

Also no one mentioned the White Stripes forthcoming release (can't say I'm a big fan myself, just surprised no one mentioned it).

[A-Dog]

RJD2 (cos hes RJ, and we need something to make up for that shocking Shadow album)



Wow everyone hates The Outsider record don't they? I thought there was some really cool stuff on it.

[epochblue]

ZEITGEIST from the Smashing Pumpkins

Any new Arcade Fire and Postal Service

A new Postal Service album would be nice. I'm really curious to see if they can match the wide appeal and overall good quality of Give Up.

More than that, though, I'm hoping to see a new Avalanches album. It has been entirely too long since Since I Left you.

On top of that, I'm looking for the new National album (Boxer), and the new Iron & Wine album (The Shepard's dog).

[spicyapple]

The next album from Girls Aloud.

It's been a two year wait from 2005's Chemistry, 2004's What Will The Neighbours Say? and 2003's breakthrough album, Sound of the Underground. A two year wait is two years too long for any Girls Aloud fan.

Guns n' Roses' Chinese Democracy
Bright Eyes' Casadaga
and
Coldplay's untitled album I'm sure will be fantastic.

[siurpeeman]

i fell in love with bloc party the instant i listened to silent alarm, so i'm really looking forward to bloc party's new release, a weekend in the city. yeah, i know it's already out, but i have yet to buy it. i can't get enough of the new single, "i still remember," and i have high hopes for the rest of the album.

[Littleodie914]

Even If it Kills Me - Motion City Soundtrack :D :D
(Title Unknown) - The Postal Service :) :)

[panoz7]

(Title Unknown) - The Postal Service :) :)

With that avatar who would have guessed? :)

Any idea when it's coming out?

[TheDance511]

the vines..vision valley..good new ROCK band not ********* bright eyes molesting rock and rooll:mad:

[leekohler]

Jason Falkner
Marilyn Manson
The Good, the Bad and the Queen
Fantasia
Hmm...I'm not sure what else yet.

[Miguey]

IMO, Bone Thugs-N-Harmy - Strength & Loyalty is my most anticipated album, those guys rule.

Bizzy Bone, A Song For You

D12's album

Immortal Technique- The Middle Passage

[Wild-Bill]

Black Crowes will be releasing a new album this year. Can't wait.

[suneohair]

Cloud Cult - The meaning of 8

April 10, but they have an advance download on the website. It just beat out Bloc Party and the Shins.

Only the Postal Service could come in and take it away, it would have to be a fricking amazing album though (i am sure it would be).

[ron dj]

Smashing Pumpkins!!!
The Postal Service
Modest Mouse
The Shins
Wilco
Radiohead

[ReanimationLP]

Linkin Park - Minutes to Midnight I really cant wait for now.

The new single is great. :D

[Duff-Man]

I'm a prog nerd, so:

Dream Theater - Title TBA
Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet

Duff-Man says...I am looking forward to the P Tree album too. I have heard most of the songs at the show I saw in Switzerland last fall so I know the material is great, some of the best they've done....but having said that...it is difficult for me to imagine a better album coming out this year than Blackfield II - there is literally not a bad moment on it, brilliant stuff....oh yeah!

I had no idea that the postal service was releasing any more albums! I thought it was just a one off thing and that the band split after making the album since it was a combination of Death Cab members and dntel. Postal Service would be great as well as Maroon 5's new "It Won't Be Soon Before Long."
