Don’t know if there is a topic like this, but I realized a good portion of some of my favorite bands and plenty of other great ones - are officially releasing albums this year. There were way too many to mentally keep track of so I wrote them down. The results are below and was the inspiration for the topic.

2012/05/09 赤い公園 - ランドリーで漂白を

2012/05/15 Best Coast - The Only Place

2012/05/16 THEラブ人間 - 恋に似ている

2012/05/23 ハイスイノナサ - 動物の身体

2012/05/29 Sigur Rós - Valtari

2012/06/05 Japandroids - Celebration Rock

2012/06/06 同心円 - Juujuu

2012/06/12 The Hundered In The Hands - Red Night

2012/06/26 A Place To Bury Strangers - Worship

I'm eager to hear the new Best Coast - Crazy For You was a great album, with all it's sun-kissed fuzzy pop songs, and I hope that a 'more grown-up' and 'emotional' album won't mean, that they won't play some songs from the vein of Boyfriend or When I'm With You. Also, the new Japandroids album will be most likely a nearly perfect album, just as the new Jimmy Edgar - XXX wasn't my favourite album from him, but the recently popped up songs like Switch Switch restored my faith in him. I think the first 'real' A$AP Rocky album should come out this year too.

EDIT: Also, new Marina & The Diamonds album at the end of the month!

I should add these to my list too. Also, You Slut! will release their second album in April, and Jack White will also release a solo album!

[Takadanobabaalien 3607]

And whatever X Japan and Luna Sea are working on.

They're both supposed to be working on full albums, ne?

I don't think you can expect an album by LUNA SEA just yet since they just released their single.

I believe they are working on one though, but it will most likely be out late 2012/early 2013.

An album by X would be nice though.

[nekkichi 6042]

super excited for stan cafe reuniting and new kaya, everything else kinda don't care for.

[Pretsy 1343]

1) Deftones - new album

2) Lynch. - new album

3) Kiyoharu - (possible) new album (he'd most probably release it in early 2013 though )

4) the GazettE - Division (singleless-ness and DI-suffix = )

5) Luna Sea - new singles/album/whatever (I demand moar)

6) Buck-Tick - new album

7) ANYTHING FROM SHIINA RINGO

8 ) New Kaya (not a big fan or anything but I've liked his recent single...I'd like to hear more Glitter Arch-ish stuff)

9) OZ - new album (?)

10) Swans - The Seer (semi-expecting)

And there are a lot of more BS to expect but yeah, mostly Japanese releases this time (no shit)

[fitear1590 2414]

Wow. So many of you are so OCD, with your perfectly uniform lists, complete with release dates, haha.

Looking forward to:

new Zephyr single (First release since early 2000's! Already ordered, but I can't wait to listen!)

己龍 - 朱花艶閃 album

UNiTE. - 約束 single

Versailles - "Rhapsody of the Darkness" single plus upcoming album

new Ziyoou-vachi release

new ハイスイノナサ release

new MUNIMUNI album

And hopefully there's something coming up from Lamp. They're definitely due for a release.

PS: cat, your drake avatar is disgustingly great.

[CAT5 9075]

I should add these to my list too. Also, You Slut! will release their second album in April, and Jack White will also release a solo album!

LMAO, I thought you were calling me a slut at first.

BUT

It's true

[Karma’s Hat 3107]

The upcoming Swans album will decimate everything else, and it's most likely the only new album I end up buying this year.

Of course looking forward to new Ruki pics for fashion advice! ... erm well I guess the album that comes with it could have a decent track or two in it, maybe.

The first Swallowed album is also coming out this year, and it has a 50/50 chance of being art or just another hobbyist metal release that nobody will give a fuck about in two years, just like almost everything else metal related that's going to be released this year.

New Beherit and Summoning albums could come out late this year, however it is unlikely.

Gorguts! Will probably suck though

Either my memory is failing me, or I'm getting picky.

[pinkmakona 1810]

Megaromania new album.

Kiryu new album.

Misaruka new album.

[evilcoconut 109]

Garbage (May, I think)

INORAN (June)

The Back Horn (June)

UNLIMITS (May)

Flip (May)

Nico Touches The Walls (May)

GLAY (May)

[guitar.chic92 1]

There are few artists I actively follow, so my list is very short atm:

Buck-Tick - [untitled]

Emilie Autumn - Fight Like A Girl

Amanda Palmer and The Grand Theft Orchestra - [dunno if it's titled yet, but recording's finished]

Just those three for now.

[nekkichi 6042]

Garbage (May, I think)

have you seen blood for poppies MV? it's good, but not GOOD.

[Des 289]

New albums from Marilyn Manson and Golden Earring and anything by Shiina Ringo, LUNA SEA, just whatever comes our way.

I don't see how making a huge list with 20+ cds all ordered on release dates and stuff is doing anyone any good. When you arrive at that point you know that music has turned into a disposable item for you.

BAWWW...LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE'S JELLY

You're an idiot. Just because you don't have shit to look forward to, don't go insulting people who are passionate enough about music to be able to construct lists like that.

[Champ213 1858]

In terms of japanese stuff I'm definetely looking forward to the new Buck-Tick album and whatever Luna Sea might put out. Also, that album by NightingeiL + La'Mule collab/new band/whatever sounds highly interesting.

For non-japanese stuff it's a bit difficult.... my interests are kinda all over the place which makes it difficult to follow up on newly announced releases because there's not like one place I could go to to keep up-to-date, like MH for my japanese interests. Plus, a huge bunch of my favourite bands just released an album within the last year (Tenhi, Týr, Amon Amarth, Thy Catafalque), so there won't be something from them in a while.

But I think Anathema, Unleashed, Harmaja and Ihsahn are releasing new stuff, so that's something to look forward to. Oh, and the upcoming Soundtrack for "Journey" sounds very very tasty.

And Ensiferum seem to be recording new stuff, but I don't know when that will be released.

[Tokage 5930]

Def. the new Buck-Tick andMERRY stuff and whatever cali gari and its related projects might be doing

hoping Eiji will start a new project now that he stopped Sandwich de 120pun?

non-japanese I have high expectations for the new mewithoutyou album and i'm hoping for BATS to finally release their 2nd full ength
