This year is amazing. So much great stuff comming out in these first months. Leaks abound, more expected later. 2006 is going to be such a killer year for awesome music.

Well, I was mainly referring to.

a) Mogwai - Mr. Beast
b) Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not
c) Islands - Return to the Sea
d) Mates of State - Bring It Back

Feel free to add what you want, but I think this year is gonna be great.  (2006 >2005 as of now might be an overstatement, but it'll be by December)
Have you guys heard the Tortoise/Bonnie Billy cover album? It's hella intruiging and different.

And who can lose with a new Arcade Fire LP on the way?

Many. Because there will always be people who think that Arcade Fire are overrated shlop. 1994 was the best year for music. One word: Josh Wink Higher State Of Consciousness.

Right on with the Islands release. If it's as good as their live show, it should be pretty freakin' cool.

But, I should admit that I don't get what all the fuss about the Arctic Monkeys is about. I downloaded a bunch of tracks and they all seem to be generic brit-rock crap.

They're pretty generic. I'm not really a huge fan, it was just worth mentioning amoung the leaks, esp with all the hype.

Uh - The Islands release is amazing.

And the Liars album is weird. It's really different. I'll have to give it a couple more listens before I judge.

From what I've heard, they continue a trend by having it sound just like everything else they've ever done.

I like Dragonforce for some light relief, but it's very much Sound and Fury Signifying Nothing.

An incomplete tracklist I found on thefieryfurnaces.net

'I'm in No Mood'
'Waiting to Know You'
'Teach Me, Sweetheart'
'Bitter Tea'

I'm also hoping for some new post-rock band to come out and do something... posty. Yes. Let 2006 be a year for new awesome bands along with albums from less new awesome bands!

If true also the new Radiohead album.

Judging by your avatar being Slash you may appreciate this. I appreciate it for the comedic aspects:

Chinese Democracy is supposed to be released in march.

Yes, you heard me right. The album that's been delayed since '96 is getting the okay by Axl.

Mr. Beast and Bring It Back are pretty lackluster imho, and Islands is all right at best.

Metallica hasn't put out anything listenable since 1988. I have plenty of Metallica on my computer right now. But I'm not getting my hopes up, especially since Metallica seems to have decided they like huge piles of money rather than making good music.

Plus I hate Lars Ulrich. Hatehatehate.

This year I am excited for new:


GWAR

Mogwai

Fiery Furnaces  (if it's better than Rehearsing My Choir, gaddamit)

Dragonforce  (fuck you songbird guy, they are fun)

Hopefully, hopefully, hopefully Tomahawk (Mike Patton hasn't announced anything, but Duane has hinted that there will be a new one. That means a tour. YES!)

Belle And Sebastian (are they finally doing a "return to their roots" album? Cause it's about time.)




And I've been informed that this The Islands business is quite good. Anybody care to elaborate?

Kirk seems to be the member with the least creative control (for example, Lars cutting out all of his solos for St. Anger), so I wouldn't put money on it just yet. However, maybe since St. Anger is their worst selling album, they realized that even their newer fans won't put up with that kind of shit.

In short, I'm skeptical, but I wouldn't mind being pleasantly surprised.

I think Amazon is closer on the dollar than Axl. They're optimistically hoping it'll be released by 2030.

Personally, the top release is automatically Tool, unless they have an "Emotive" moment. Screw pitchfork.

2005 though was not bad for releases at all.

Indeed.

Also, new Mugison album already out this year, it's totally awesome. It's less Beck and more Tom Waits than his last one.

And isn't there a new Muse album coming out this year?

In short, St. Anger was shit.  Everyone knows that.

Kirk does probably have very little control over the band but:

1. Producer from Recent albums gone.

2. New bassist more 'old metal' style.

So *shrug* who knows what the new albums gonna be like. I keep hearing about new albums coming out his year and thinking 'cool' but then forgetting them lol.

Cursive, Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Built to Spill, and all the other staple indie bands.

But also, Primus. They're returning to their Seas of Cheese style after the Brown Album and Antipop were only loved by true fans. They're also going on their biggest and most extravagent tour yet. As if their others weren't already bitchin'.
