Yes, I *did* just make an account to talk about music.

I agree that a new Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution album would be orgasmic. We've had less than one BOTAR song a year. Get it together, Kalnoky!

I'll have to get that British Sea Power album. :3

Also, while it came out in 07, A Julius Orange put their debut up for free in 08, and seeing as it was never really "sold" I count it here. With bandwidth issues, I had to pick just a few tracks to show you. It was hard, and now I'm second-guessing myself. xD

Sad, Black, Bright
The Young Fool's Waltz
Prayer for Patience

Sadly, I can't find a similar excuse to count Keep it Going as an 08 release. So I won't mention Keep it Going. Not at all.

Apparently there is a new Joanna Newsom album coming out this year and it'll be more poppy than the previous? Though the previous was five ten or so minute songs. I'll be eager to hear more about this.

Töys · « **Reply #152 on:** 13 Feb 2008, 01:42 »

new Matmos and Antony and the Johnsons coming as well.

StreetSpirit · « **Reply #153 on:** 13 Feb 2008, 23:23 »

Cheers to everyone else who is excited about the new (hopefully in 2008) My Bloody Valentine album - it will be marvelous to hear what Kevin Shields is brewing up.

So far The Mars Volta is my #1, Black Mountain is my #2 and Jose James is my #3, I can guarantee TMV will stay, but the other two are likely to get bumped. Opeth, Kayo Dot, and Agalloch are almost automatic locks, and Meshuggah, In Flames, and Machinae Supremacy all have decent chances also. It should be a good year for metal at least.

Hey guys there's a 65daysofstatic EP coming out April seventh. It's called "The Distant and Mechanised Glow of East European Dance Parties."

Awesome!

Sox · « **Reply #156 on:** 15 Feb 2008, 13:24 »

Fantastic! Those guys have never put out any bad material to date and have been very consistent while making each full length subtly different. I can't wait to hear what the next one sounds like. It seems like the last album came out and nobody noticed.

SleeperCylon · « **Reply #157 on:** 16 Feb 2008, 08:31 »

My favorites of 2008 so far:

1. Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend

The new Hanzel und Gretyl album is awesome.

sean · « **Reply #159 on:** 23 Feb 2008, 14:31 »

Hai guys.

New Russian Circles May 6th. It's called Stations. I'll get you all a leak as soon as it's fresh from the oven.

Bai guys.

The new Genghis Tron is fairly badass. Not for everyone but it's awesomely intense and, like all their releases, has killer instrumentals.

Spluff · « **Reply #161 on:** 26 Feb 2008, 02:00 »

The first House of Broken Promises album comes out soon. House of Broken Promises is essentially Unida without John Garcia, and what I've heard is pretty damn good. It's nothing groundbreaking, but pretty solid nonetheless.

Gridgm · « **Reply #162 on:** 26 Feb 2008, 04:00 »

so far i have heard 5 album's from this year (...yeah i know)

in order
1. Smile - Boris
2. 01011001 - Ayreon
3. 13 Blues for Thirteen Moons - Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band
4. Dig Lazarus Dig - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
5. Juno OST

...as such i havn't heard a bad album yet

valley_parade · « **Reply #163 on:** 26 Feb 2008, 08:00 »

There something about the Boris album that's not really doing it for me. Maybe I was expecting too much (like a straight-forward followup to Pink). Pretty good, though.

taphos · « **Reply #164 on:** 26 Feb 2008, 11:30 »

So far, I'm loving Dead Meadow, Black Mountain, Shelby Lynne, Bon Iver, Drive-By Truckers, and Allison Moorer. I haven't given the new Nick Cave enough listens to give a strong opinion.

Haven't heard the brand new Tift Merritt or Kathleen Edwards, but I have high hopes for both.

Beck's supposed to have a new one at the end of the year. Hopefully it won't be like Guero or the Information.

McTaggart · « **Reply #169 on:** 27 Feb 2008, 01:27 »

I really enjoyed Guero.

4. Dig Lazarus Dig - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

You know, illegal downloading hasn't been a part of my life in so long, that this post actually made me go 'eh? But it's not out until Monday!'

Tom · « **Reply #171 on:** 27 Feb 2008, 11:33 »

Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! was leaked on the 23rd and posted in the mediafire thread on the 25th.

Thrillho · « **Reply #172 on:** 28 Feb 2008, 09:54 »

Thanks for the info, but even if it has leaked, I'm not listening to it - nor am I listening to it on their myspace. I've pre-ordered it. I'll listen to it when it comes out.

El Olio Wolof- The Tedious Task (self-released)

I just listened to El Olio Wolof.

Super Good.

taphos · « **Reply #174 on:** 29 Feb 2008, 15:22 »

I've been listening to Anita Lipnicka & John Porter - Goodbye for the past few days.

Best "Americana" release I've heard in ages, and she's Polish.

TheFuriousWombat · « **Reply #175 on:** 02 Mar 2008, 08:45 »

I can already guarantee the new album by 'The Drift' will be in my top ten albums of the year. There's no way it won't be, it's that damn good.

Can I just say? I'm about to go see British Sea Power live. End of tour show, homecoming to Brighton, it's going to be mental. Ha ha! I'll give you a detailed report tomorrow.

In the nicest possible way, I think I might hate you. I wanted to go to that SO BADLY.

First album of the year to get me all excited:

I Was A Cub Scout - I Want You To Know That There Is Always Hope. It was worth it just for the re-working of Pink Squares.

Albums that should be awesome: Tilly & The Wall, and hopefully debuts from Grammatics, Maths Class and This City...

And there's a huge part of me that's really curious about the new Panic at the Disco album, too...

orimazd · « **Reply #178 on:** 02 Mar 2008, 18:25 »

I've already heard pretty much all the songs off it from their myspace, but I'll still call the new Ours album a 2008 one. And one of my top ten 2008 ones at that.

/rechecks when its released

Well the new Sigur Ros album is coming out by the Summer and possibly as early as late Spring according to the website. I have no idea what to expect but I'm still expecting great things.

squawk · « **Reply #181 on:** 02 Mar 2008, 18:50 »

There's a new Elf Power this year! I think! And Wolf Parade. People probably already talked about that.

michaelicious · « **Reply #182 on:** 02 Mar 2008, 19:18 »

I think someone else mentioned the Wolf Parade album. Where are people reading about this?

Apparently they took the exclamation mark out of their name so they would be "more mature."

valley_parade · « **Reply #184 on:** 03 Mar 2008, 05:21 »

So, can I use the exclamation mark now that they got rid of it? Or am I still going to get sued by the Aquabats?

Sorry, dude. I think Gravy Train!!!! already has the rights to all discarded exclamation points.

TheFuriousWombat · « **Reply #188 on:** 03 Mar 2008, 07:51 »

I think we're all neglecting the most profound use of the exclamation point, "!!!".

Now they just need to take the words out of their name along with out of their song titles and the members out of their band and we're done.

Man, don't scare Muffy away already. We only just got her back.

Fear not, Tommy, it'll take more than a spot of AIDS spewing to spur me away from my favourite haven of musical condescension...

People, people... I like Panic at the Disco. And a whole bunch of fringe-adorned bands that would make most musos squirm in repulsion. I even run an emo-centric club night, but I can't be arsed to defend my right to like emo pop again because oH MY GOD it's been done to death.

And to avoid total derailment of this thread, I'm going to express my enthusiasm for the upcoming Does It Offend You, Yeah? and Klaxons albums...

And, like, sorry for not being cool and stuff.

just incase no one else has mentioned it yet.

Bedlam In Goliath by The Mars Volta is an awesome album.

Thrillho · « **Reply #197 on:** 04 Mar 2008, 12:33 »

I mentioned it, but the Volta are not well-liked on this forum.

Oh by the way, I've listened to the new Nick Cave three and a half times, and it is fantastic. 'He handed me a book of Holocaust poetry, complete with illustrations...'
