Topic: What Album Release Did You Most Eagerly Await? Posted: April 06 2014 at 21:10 |
Hopefully this is not an old topic-For me it was Black Sabbath Born Again.I recall all the talk & hype about Sabbath working on an album with Ian Gillian being the front man.I absolutely couldn't wait to get my hands on it.When i heard it was in the record stores i drove like a maniac to Owensboro,Ky to buy it.At the time i thought it was awesome.I still like to hear it once in awhile-Zero The Hero,Keep It Warm,Disturbing The Priest being among my favorite tracks.The remastered CD version sounds much better than the LP in my opinion.

The most recent has been St. Vincent's S/t. Can't remember if it topped Nocturniquet.

When I heard King Crimson was reforming in 1981 after being "permanently" dissolved for 7 years, which at the time seemed like an eternity, I started going to the record store every week to see if it was there. The first time I asked the guy if he knew when the new King Crimson album was going to be released he looked at me like I had 3 heads. Then he laughed. He thought I was kidding. When I finally got hold of it I was not disappointed.

^^^Yeah, I remember seeing that Sabbath Born Again tour, Nazareth led in.
I remember being like a kid in a candy store when I saw Budgie's album Deliver Us From Evil as an import in an Ottawa music store around November '82, and I had known that the band were due for a new release. It did not dissapoint!

Well there's certain bands I get giddy for such as Univers Zero & Thinking Plague but most of my recent excitement has been for OOP or difficult to get albums such as Cardiacs, Polite Refusal, Hoyry Kone and the like

I especially looked forward to it as something to help relieve the sleepy familiarity of commercial rock radio where I was living at the time. I think the people at my favorite store must have been more savvy than yours. And yes, I wasn't disappointed either.

Same here, and hopefully a new Soundgarden album. For albums that actually have a release date, Opeth's "Pale Communion" and Amplifier's "Mystoria". Had no idea the latter was coming out in September. Soon...

The Whirlwind. The first two Transatlantic albums contain some of my favorite music ever, and I was beyond stoked when I heard they were reforming. The beginning of that album is incredibly epic, and first hearing that was euphoric to me, though it took me a while to get into the album as a whole.
Right now it's the upcoming King Crimson album, of course.

Possibly Ariel Pink's 2012 album "Mature Themes". I'd become a fanatical fan the year before, and I'd heard about the album coming out some 6-7 months before its release, so that was a lot of time to build up excitement. Around the same time, Swans' "The Seer" gave me a similar level of anticipation.

I was excited about the release of Idler Wheel even before it had that name (as in, right from the time they said Fiona Apple was about to release her new album). Happily wasn't a let down by any means and gave far more pleasure than I could have expected.

After V by Spock's Beard, I was really looking forward to Snow and was quite disappointed by it.
I was also quite jazzed to hear Audioslave. I'd hoped it would be some kind of cross between Rage and Soundgarden. It wasn't what I'd hoped it would be. That's probably mostly on me though. Shouldn't have gone in with such expectations
