The Notwist officially have an album coming out this year entitled The Devil, You + Me! The track "Good Lies" is streaming at Pitchfork, and sounds very promising.

I like it.

I've been traveling a bit lately so haven't been on Metacritc much, but had to mention that my most looked forward album of the year Evil Urges by MMJ announced they will have 14 tracks. I was already looking forward to it as much as you believe and I know I hear it's 14 songs. I'm sensing an epic album.

Yeah, I've been looking forward to this one for a month or two now. Very excited. Kozelek rarely disappoints.

Presidents of the United States of America
Weezer
R.E.M.
The Cure
Everclear (wtf?)
Blind Melon
Portishead
Massive Attack
Blur
Oasis
The Verve

... is this 1998? Nevertheless, still looking forward to all of those. along with: Tapes 'n Tapes, Doves, Death Cab for Cutie, The Roots, Madvillany, Atmosphere, Muse, Nas, Wolf Parade...

Sounds like The Thermals are working on a new album. Hopefully that will come out this year, as The Body, The Blood, The Machine was one of my favorites, if my favorite, record of a great 2006.

I'm looking forward to:

Detox - Dr. Dre
The Fleet Foxes debut LP
Black Kids debut LP
New Massive Attack (Even though I feel it might suck.)
New Coldplay
New Beck
New Muse

I've heard rumors of a new Beck, but there isn't anything on his website or on Meta's future releases. You hear any details?

The only stuff that I've heard about Beck's new album is as follows:

A) Danger Mouse is producing it.
B) He hopes it'll be out by the end of the year.

Well, Stefan Anion says he's working on an album, so I'm excited about that, and Future Funk Squad's Technology, Don't Fail Me Now should get released soon. And if we're really nice, we may get a Cicada sophomore effort. And there's a new Deepest Blue album somewhere on the horizon.

Bring on the rest of 2008.

I'm really excited about Shearwater's Rook. The single by the same name that is floating around is excellent, and Palo Santo was an amazing breakout album.

Thanks to this I'm more excited for the new MMJ album than ever. It sounds fantastic.

Except for "Highly Suspicious", I think it sounds like a throwback to "It Still Moves" - exactly what I was hoping for.

Death Cab
Mindless Self Indulgence
The Kills
The Black Keys

New Deftones , although I always get my hopes up too much for each album they've released since White Pony.

I F*ing love Shearwater, so that is exciting! Have you heard the ep, Thieves? It has some great tunes too.

New Death Cab, "Narrow Stairs," in May.

Hopefully it's a little more interesting than Chris Walla's solo work.

I've been hearing the new single from Narrow Stairs, "I will possess Your Heart" on the radio a lot lately. It sounds like the subdued, hi-fidelity approach they took on Plans, as Gibbard's vocals are the center piece as the track is slow building and hypnotic. Though with this single it doesn't sound like they are taking a new direction or returning to their roots, I'm still excited for the new album. I think it will be hard to follow Plans, which I thought was their most solid album to date, but I guess I'll wait and see.

I just realized the other day that Death Cab has never really made a solid "Album", in my opinion. They have made albums where I really liked every song on the album, but it was always just a collection of really good singles. I think Transatlanticism and Plans, although my least favorite Death Cabs are really their best albums.

This realization has made me more excited about the new album, for some reason. Maybe I'm just preparing myself to be less critical, and looking forward to a few really good songs.
