2013 Albums Most Anticipated/Most Dreaded

[iron yuppie]

Hasn't The National been sharing pictures of themselves in studio on facebook and twitter? I definitely expect a 2013 release.

Stuff like this for example: Photo by ntnl • Instagram

And now this: apparently four new songs played recently:

Lol people bitch that there isn't new U2, then say they are dreading the new release.

You don't come round these parts of the forum often, I take it.

 

[BoMac]

i haven't done enough research to find a most dreaded release of 2013, but i'll go ahead and say arcade fire lp4, because of the bomac factor.

 

[prbiker15]

Highly anticipated:
Depeche Mode
Arcade Fire

Highly dreaded:
U2

Obviously, I'm being cautious with U2.

 

[HeartlandGirl]

They only have 6 albums. Easy to get into. Watch some other stuff on YouTube. Personally I think Black Market Music and Meds are their best two albums,

Yes. Get on this Cobbler, maybe as a new year's resolution since you're probably, like most of us, still trying to get through all the great 2012 stuff. In addition to Black Market Music and Meds, Sleeping With Ghosts is a solid record worthing checking out. They have a greatest hits collection as well.

Being a huge Placebo fan, I've had a really tough time getting into their last album. I'd say any new release from them has me feeling anxious, in a good and bad way. And for what it's worth (see what I did there?), Brian Molko just turned 40 yesterday. Maybe a midlife crisis will make for some great tunes.

 

[PhilsFan]

The National
Arcade Fire

New Phoenix album out in April of next year.

[Danny Boy]

I am enjoying the first two singles from CHVRCHES. Their debut album is out in the spring, and I'm hopeful they have enough songs of the same quality to fill an album.

 

[u2popmofo]

That's now how you spell churches, DB.

 

[Danny Boy]

It is if you're engraving it on a column in the Roman Coliseum.

 

[corianderstem]

That's now how you spell churches, DB.

That's not how you spell "not," mofo.

 

[u2popmofo]

I am filled with shame. And Diet Mt. Dew.

 

[the tourist]

Diet pop is horrible for you, and so your shame is justified.

 

[u2popmofo]

A night of puppy puke and extremely early morning phone calls from South Africa makes me not care. I'd rather have the chemicals than sugar associated with everything else with caffeine.

 

[the tourist]

I like me some good old fashioned sugar in my pop. I used to drink diet pop until I read a study which basically said that the body can only process artificial sweetener or fat at once, and that the body will always process that which it doesn't recognize and store the fat. It's weird - one of my tricks for losing weight over the last 4 months has been switching from diet pop to sugar pop.

 

[u2popmofo]

More details:

The Knife have announced that their long-awaited new album, Shaking the Habitual, is out April 8 internationally and April 9 in the U.S. on Rabid/Brille/Mute. Karin Dreijer Andersson and Olof Dreijer have also announced that they will tour Europe next year. Dates to be announced.

 

[Imperor]

Holy smokes new Knife let's fuckin' party, guys.

[bono_212]

There's a lot of silly on that list, and a lot I'm really excited for.

Especially Thao & The Get Down Stay Down (I don't know why they changed their name from Thao with the Get Down Stay Down, but whatever). I really liked their last album.

I'd tell you what else is coming out, but I wouldn't want to do that to Ashley.

[djparky]

I haven't really got a most anticipated- am awaiting the new Dep Mode album/tour and just hoping that it's better than they managed last time

also waiting for new White Lies album

 

[corianderstem]

Oh shit. Forgot Arcade Fire.

Obviously they are Highly Anticipated.

Mildly Anticipated: Yeah Yeah Yeah (loved their last album, have not cared for anything prior to that one)
