The Mars Volta most definitely, especially after reading the concept, I really hope they can deliver. I wasn't even aware that SGM had another coming out soon (woo-hoo!). And also, when I went to see Porcupine Tree, SW mentioned that they were recording for a new Live album of the 2007 tour.... -------------

Anathema, dredg, and No-Man at the moment, since neither seem likely to have an album out by the end of this year. Other than that, I'm not sure of any other bands in which I'm interested that are releasing albums next year.... Perhaps Amplifier, since it seems like they're writing new material. |

The next Crimson album, hopefully.
Although I get the feeling that all future lineups of Crimson are just going to do private rehersals where they keep the recordings to themselves, and take pictures for the fans
As far as albums that are actually confirmed, the new Marillion should be exciting.  -------------

| 2007 has been a great year for Canterbury freaks, with major new albums from Kevin Ayers and Robert Wyatt, among others. Next year I don't expect too much from that quarter... But I believe Deluge Grander have something in the pipeline, and I'm also looking forward to hearing more from Wobbler.

Marillion's 15th is up there for me. Pendragon's Pure (sometime next August, I believe) The new IQ (interested to see how they do without Orford) Neal Morse and Spock's Beard have been averaging about a disc a year recently. And King Crimson. Although not a huge favorite of mine, I'll still buy it when it comes out. Hopefully a new Asia studio disc (we'll see if it happens). And maybe the reconvened Frost* (although I don't know if it'll be Mitchell or the guy from Darwin's Radio). DVD's: Any Marillion DVD, which most assuredly will be a couple next year The new Spock's Beard DVD Sylvan's Posthumous Live DVD E -------------

Wow, cool thread. Glad to see what is scheduled to come down the pipeline. Definitely looking forward to Ayreon, Judas Priest, Marillion, and Metallica, amongst others. A re-release of Lightbulb Sun will definitely move to the top of the must-have pile. My addition to this discussion would be The Chinese Democracy by Guns and Roses. I'll believe it when I see it but their website is saying that is supposed to be the first of a trilogy of albums released between now and 2012.

Katatonia?

Possible excitement:
Judas Priest
Gojira
Bloodbath?
Mastodon?
Mono?

Nice list of new albums that I wasn't aware were coming down the pipeline, but make since, since it has been a couple of years. I thought that I had heard that Salem Hill's last album was their swan song. It seems like I had read that they had closed up shop. I wonder if a member or two quit but others have decided to forge ahead with new members. Very interesting. -------------

This was posted on the SH website last month: Well, another Hillionaire's Weekend has come and gone and we want to express our thanks to all the folks who came out to watch us perform Catatonia and a few other select cuts. It was a great event and we all had a blast. We did record the audio and video of the weekend and, after reviewing both, looks like it'll be a wonderful audio and/or video release. The band will meet in the next couple of weeks to review the audio and the footage and decide how we want to inflict it upon the general public. Also, we'll be meeting to make some decisions about the next Salem Hill album, tentatively due for release in the Spring of 2008. For those of you at the HW2, you heard one of the tracks, "Glimpses". In fact, more than a few of you commented that it was one of the highlights of the Weekend. And that's a good thing! |

My Thoughts
Dredg is my most anticipated for the 08 album will determine whther I continue to listen to them in the future. If they can take the music from Leitmotif and concoct heavy-handed conceot similar to El Cielo they'll be golden. I pray for the hybrid to pass.
TMV, top notch musicianship, heaveyhanded symbolism, unequal song lenghts, complicated passages, should be an exceelent album, no worries, omar and cederic know what they're doing.
Opeth, complete indifference, will be pleased with something similar to Ghost Reveries
Massive Attack, very excited. I havent been following who they brought in for vocals but usually they make it work, and if its like Mezzazine well i'd say album of 08 from there.
I'm almost certain Eno's on the new roxy Music album, so a throback to the debut would be amazing. Plus, everyone on that album has thirty years experience. It will be difficult to screw it up.
