2655321, Upcoming albums of 2012
Posted by wheels, Sun Jan-29-12 09:04 PM
What upcoming albums are you getting excited about?
2655335, RE: Only a couple things on my radar so far.

The new Andrew Bird has me excited. The pre-release track is streaming here: http://soundcloud.com/andrewbird/eyeoneye
(and it sounds great!)

The first Fleet Foxes offshoot is Poor Moon, which is Christian and Casey (bassist and keyboardist, respectively) doing an EP. They have a pre-release track available for stream and download: http://www.subpop.com/artists/poor_moon
(this one took me by complete surprise, because I find the song completely rules)

That's all I've got, so far.

From the few tracks I've heard with Erykah Badu, Musiq with Chrisette Michelle and KING the album is sounding like a winner. Lupe Fiasco and Yasiin Bey are also featured on the LP.

Album drops 2/28

I'm curious to hear new material
2655701, L.A. Reid's dumbass got my excited for a Spring release
Posted by dunk, Mon Jan-30-12 04:44 PM
Then the executives at Fiona's label said it's dropping this year but only hinted at it releasing "sometime this year". Either way I'm excited for her new album. Its been done for over a year but the label has been sitting on it for some reason.
2703759, Well, according to my pre-order, it's dropping on June 19th. So...

KRIT, can't really think of anything else, unless Lupe, Hov, and Kanye actually drop albums this year. I just laughed at myself for saying Lupe.

complex has a pretty good list, and metacritic always has a huge list.
2655724, Lots
Posted by dalecooper, Mon Jan-30-12 05:36 PM
Big KRIT.

Big Boi, "Daddy Fat Sax." I don't see it as a good sign that after predicting a Q4 2011 release, nobody has breathed a word about this in months. Hope it's not shaping up to get mega-delayed like his last one.

Sizzla, "The Chant." Yeah he puts out a couple albums a year usually, but this one looks really good.

Aura Noir, "Out to Die." Obligatory metal band nobody will recognize or care about. These guys are too fucking good though. My list of metal albums coming up is pretty long, this can just be a representative sample.

Busy Signal. Been rumored he was going to put out a one drop (reggae) album soon. Hope that comes to pass, but if not I'd settle for another straight dancehall album. He did four albums from 2006-2010, so I'd say he's overdue. Still no date or title though, but that's not necessarily weird in Jamaica - they don't hype album releases like we do.
2656411, if you got time I wouldn't mind a metal list
Posted by debo40oz, Wed Feb-01-12 07:33 AM
I am slowly getting back into metal but need to catch up on the past decade.

Posted by ChiefRocka, Tue Jan-31-12 09:46 PM
If that shit ever comes out.



I look forward to any project Kno produces, and this album is like 8-9 years in the making at this point.


It will either be one of the dopest albums ever made or a huge disappointment.
