What albums are you looking forward to in 2015?
Discussion
So, what are we all hoping turns out to be good in 2015?
For me, it's:
- Veruca Salt - The return thereof. Really looking forward this. The two tracks so far are just like the pre-split stuff.
- Kate Havnevik - Her new album just got fully funded on PledgeMusic a few days ago, and I'm really looking forward to it. She's great at programming microsounds. And, yes, I pledged!
- Wolf Alice. Good old fashioned, riff-driven alt rock. But will it live up to the hype? "Jam" has been rewritten as "Giant Peach" and, I hate to say it, it's not quite as a good as the version from the festival season...
and
- Marina and the Diamonds. A little bit of harmless pop fluff never does anyone any harm!

Off the top of my head,
Napalm Death - Apex Predator
Sylosis - Dormant Heart
First new Xentrix album in 20+ years (and from talking to Pete Lee from Lawnmower Deth, it's sounding mega)
First new D.A.M. album in 25+ years (heard a couple of rough demo tracks and it sounds good)
New Gama Bomb
New Lich King
Bio-Cancer's first full album
New Grim Reaper album

I knew they were back together but didn't realise an album was part of the plans.Another vote for The Prodigy, gotta be better than this Skrillex stuff that the kids are listening to.
Tool, please let there be a Tool album, I'll do anything.
edit - just remembered Manson has a new album out end of this month, he's released three tracks already, two are good, one is meh. Also just read that Metallica could be recording this year too.

I had Above & Beyond's and Chicane's new albums on pre-order and as big fan of both I have to say I'm a little disappointed overall. Of the two, The Sum of its Parts was by far and away the biggest letdown and felt very bland and boring. In fact I can't even really think of any of the songs even having listened through it a few times. There's none of the epic hooks that worm their way into your head like the Chicane of old and I think Bracegirdle's best is behind him sadly. A couple of the tracks are downright awful (I got so bored I skipped forward which had never been the case with any previous Chicane album).
Above & Beyond fared slightly better and although there are some wonderful tracks, We Are All We Need doesn't reach the highs that Group Therapy and Tri-State did. I'd even go as far as to say they've gone a little 'emo-trance'.
Overall I'd give A&B 7/10 and Chicane 4/10.
