Albums I’m looking forward to in 2008
posted on 2008.03.04 22:17:26 by BogieWe’re two months into 2008, and I haven’t been overwhelmed by any new music released this year. So far, the highlights for me have been:
- Porcupine Tree — We Lost The Skyline
- Nine Inch Nails — Ghosts I-IV
- Jack Johnson — Sleep Through The Static
Not overly impressive. I suppose if I were a Mars Volta fan , I would feel differently with The Bedlam In Goliath having been released in January.
But, I feel change is on the horizon. Here’s what we can look forward to in upcoming months:
- Counting Crows — Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings [March 25]
- R.E.M. — Accelerate [April 1]
- Dream Theater — Greatest Hit (…and 21 other pretty cool songs) [April 1]
- Gnarls Barkley — The Odd Couple [April 8]
- Rush — Snakes & Arrows Live [April 8]
- Portishead — Third [April 15]
- Elbow — The Seldom Seen Kid [April 22]
- Flight Of The Conchords — Flight Of The Conchords [April 22]
- Death Cab For Cutie — Narrow Stairs [May 13]
- Coldplay — TBD [May/June]
Not to mention new releases from Dido, The Doves, Massive Attack, and so on and so forth. We may be off to a slow start in 2008, but it looks like things will turn around this spring. I can’t wait!
for Rush’s upcoming live CD, Snakes & Arrows Live, as revealed earlier this week:
