New year, new version of the thread. Rules are the same's as Cameron's...but if you're in a cave, i'm posting them again. Reference goes out to him. Predicitons will be allowed to a certain extent. Since there's nothing out in 2008 yet, you can list any anticipated releases that you know of. Come a couple months then, you may only make predictions if you have heard at least 2 or 3 songs from that release. Secondly, I thought I change things around again by removing rereleases from the mix. By rereleases, I mean reprints, greatest hits albums, and deluxe/special editions (IE. O' God, the Aftermath: The Marvelous End of...). Since you've already heard the material from the previous year (or years), there's really no need to include it again in your list. If, by some freak coincidence it is released twice next year, then you can include it. Happy posting.
So far, the only songs I've heard which allow me to make a prediction are from Protest the Hero's Fortress. Having heard Bloodmeat and Sequoia Throne, it looks like this might remain rather high up on my list for alot of the year.
Not really a prediction but the anticipated: Our Long Road Home - Taproot The Alchemy Index Vol. 3 & 4: Air And Earth - Thrice New Julien-k New Dead By Sunrise New Mudvayne New Thursday New Alexisonfire (i think) New Glassjaw New lostpropets New Slipknot Nothing else off the top of my head. Sure to pick up a lot of others.
Presuming that The Bronx release their albums, which they probably will, I wouldn't bet against them being the best if they're even half as good as the previous two. Also: Alexisonfire Boris Bossk - if they ever decide to release a full-length, this year would be nice. Brand New The Cavalera Conspiracy Deftones Deltron 3030 and Del Tha Funkee Homosapien Franz Ferdinand Gallows Glassjaw Los Campesinos! Lostprophets Lupe Fiasco The Mars Volta Mike Patton R.E.M. Rise Against The Roots Saosin Social Distortion We Are Scientists Weezer Also, given how low my expectations are, it shouldn't take a lot for the new Metallica to impress me.
There's a lot albums that I'm waiting for. Sadly, most of those bands haven't released songs. Some of them did it, anyway : Machinae Supremacy - Overworld [February 13th, 2008] I love their previous albums, and now they released a song that will be on their new album. It's a B.Spears' cover of the song 'Gimme More'. I think they did a great work with that. Lostprophets - Untitled [Summer 2008] They played like 4 new songs on their last tour, and all of them sounded awesome. Even if those songs won't be on the new album, I think this is going to be GREAT ! It seems like old lostprophets sound will be back.
Brand New Deftones Glassjaw The Cavalera Conspiracy Gallows Lostprophets Soulfly Mike Patton (Fantomas and/or Peeping Tom) Weezer Death Cab For Cutie Isis Irons The Bronx God Forbid The Mars Volta - The Bedlam In Goliath Meshuggah - obZen I'm anticipating new Converge and Zao, but I'm unsure whether either will release a new album in 2008... fingers crossed.
