Also expected to release something in 2008

Keane,  Switchfoot, 50 Cent, Train, lostprophets, MC Lars, Fear Factory, Glasjaw, Green Day, Helmet, Goo Goo Dolls, The Killers, Modest Mouse, Powerman 5000, Mudvayne, Primus, My Chemical Romance, Rammstein, Sick of it all, Six Feet Under, SOiL, The Streets, Social Distortion, Alice in Chains, Dr. Dre, Cannibal Corpse, and Van Halen. Oh and of course....

Chinese Democracy by Guns N Roses.....LOL like that'll ever happen.

To get it out of the way... Chinese Democracy HAS happened. Get over it. :p

I'll attempt to update some of this information... Mudvayne has released a new album, called "The New Game" (November 18 release date), The Killers have released "Day And Age" (November 24), Keane released "Perfect Symmetry" (October 13), and 50 Cent won't be releasing "Before I Self Destruct" until early 2009.

Also, Chris Cornell's new CD, entitled "Scream" has been pushed back to a release date of February 3, 2009.

The other CD release I was anticipating was the new Snow Patrol CD entitled "A Hundred Million Suns" (October 28).  Also, earlier in the summer, I basically went nuts when Disturbed released "Indestructible".  Others I've given close listens to are "Scars And Souvenirs" by Theory Of A Deadman, and the previously-mentioned "The Illusion Of Progress" by Staind (Which I loved).

As for the future... Well, we're in the holiday season now, so it'll be mostly holiday music being released, so it pains me to say that the most anticipated CD release over the holiday season might be The All-American Rejects, as they release "When The World Comes Down" on December 16.

Eminem is releasing his new shit, The Relapse early next year. Shits gonna be firee.

I heard Chinese Democracy was garbage. Therefore I won't even make note of it in my column.

As far as Snow Patrol, Staind, and Theory of a Deadman - they suck, and thats why I haven't listened to them. All American Rejects? Seriously? They are your tastes but damn dude.


The only future releases I care about are the new Deftones and Dredg albums for 2009, but I'm sure something will spring up. new Muse apparently too. So we'll see if 2009 can beat 2008 b/c I found a lot of good stuff this year.

[Cory]

DL's the G n R, and it was fucking garbage. Nuff said, one of the biggest letdowns in a while.

Can also add the new Mudvayne CD.......if you could call it that. Huge disappointment IMO.

[Tim-Æ]

dredg  is supposedly releasing their follow up to Catch Without Arms on 3/29/09. As of right now that is the only thing I'm looking forward to.

All American Rejects? Seriously? They are your tastes but damn dude.

Did I ever say I liked them? No.  I just happened to make note of it when going through CD releases, as that was the name that was most familiar.  Just because I mention somebody does NOT mean that I like them.  In fact, I absolutely HATE some of the acts I mentioned before the three you've singled me out for... And even then, I'm not a huge fan of those three either (Apart from Illusion Of Progress), I was just curious to see how they'd follow up on past success is all.

So, if I mention something in the future... Don't just automatically assume that I like them.  Believe it or not, I do consider what other people think.

I apologize if you take offense to what I've said, but I felt the need to defend myself on that front.  I'm sorry, but I'm not about to allow my opinion to be kicked around and thrown to the wayside because I'm new to the Knights.

[Cory]

...I like Theory of a Deadman.

Dude, relax. That's not what this place is about and I'm sure Timbo wasn't trying to rag on you it was just a bit of harmless banter and opinion.

Back on topic, I like Snow Patrol. Although I don't let my friends know that.

Not really a release date but The Strokes are back in the studio February 09. Good times.

Fuck you, Freshman!

[Rob]

Massive Attack are saying they'll have a 2009 release.

[Excaligore]

"The Ichthyologist" - Giant Squid - January 2009?(According to Wiki)

Personally, I think Giant Squid is an incredible band. One of the few worth following. I'll be buying this if I have the money.

[Tim-Æ]

March 23rd, the guitarist from Deerhunter releases his other project Lotus Plaza's first album The Floodlight Collective.
