[Hammerheart]

It has, I've just not got round to listening to it yet. Though I try and buy more than I download nowadays, but with some of them I think I'll test the water before purchasing, Burzum being one of them.

 

[Cain Nightroad]

Let's see...the only new albums I've listened to are James Blake's self-titled and Cage the Elephant's Thank You, Happy Birthday. I tried to listen to PJ Harvey's latest effort that was released on the 15th, but it just wasn't my cup of tea.

Oh, and Ride's Nowhere recently got a 20th anniversary reissue that's supposed to be pretty solid.

 

[HoennMaster]

wait why does this thread not exist yet.

Because we have individual threads for different genres of music.

 

[Tim the turtle]

The new Asva record is sounding amazing (based on the one song that they put out anyway). New Radiohead should be good too and doubtless Nadja and Jesu will each put out around fifteen albums and collabs by the end of the year.

New Opeth and Cynic would be nice as well.

 

[[Imaginative]:[Clockwork]]

As a fan of pop-rock/punk, there's a lot to forward to in 2011. I won't list all of the albums/EPs, but it seems like every day that I find out a band I like is going to be releasing something this year. It all starts on March 1st, when Go Radio will be releasing their first full-length. Then, seven days later, Mayday Parade releases an acoustic EP, and it just keeps going from there. Can't wait. :]

uh k?

New Radiohead should be good too

new radiohead was released yesterday, but apparently it's only half of it or something. so far it's kinda disappointing; it doesn't have that "omg this song is amazing" song that all other radiohead albums have. hopefully the second half (if it's not just a rumour) fixes that.

 

[deoxysdude94]

I'm really looking forward to All Time Low's new album, Dirty Work. And Drive A's album The World in Shambles. I still don't have a release date for either, though

 

[Evilyn]

Because we have individual threads for different genres of music.

doesn't mean we shouldn't have one big thread for general 2011 music

besides, the only threads that have survived are metal and pop

i never cared for Radiohead aside from some of the catchy songs off The Bends when i'm not in the mood for something heavier, so i won't bother with this new one

new Autopsy and Vektor seem so far awayyyyyyyyyy

 

[palingensia]

i know what you mean evan. it seems most of the good releases are from october to december this year. :/

 

[Grei]

I'm really anticipating All Time Low's new album Dirty Work. It's supposed to be released post-March 2011... on some date.

Stupid Interscope, restructuring and causing Dirty Work to be pushed back.

Alas, I eagerly await it.

I'm also excited for Vices and Virtues by Panic! at the Disco. I hated Pretty. Odd., but I'm hoping that Vices and Virtues redeems P!atD.

Go on Pitchfork or another music review site regularly for about a week or so; there's bound to be something you find interesting that you hadn't even heard of before. New stuff comes out everyday and doesn't get noticed. But it's fine if you want to wait until the latter part of the year for some new music.

 

[palingensia]

i wasn't implying that the good music is exclusively at the end of the year, just that most of the big releases that i'm looking forward to are. :U pitchfork is a good idea though so i may do that.

 

[THRILLHO]

tool have an album scheduled for june according to metalstorm. not sure about apc, and am doubtful about porcupine tree (maybe a new ep? idk). i didn't know that dream theater have a new album coming out though. o:

dream theater have been in the studio for about a month

also, just got mogwai's new album, it's great

I dont know why but Pitchfork seems to have something of a reputation of being a hipster site. But they do seem to review some decent stuff, so I don't really care.

 

[palingensia]

do they have a "browse by genre" sort of thing? it'd be helpful if someone could link if so.
