Looking forward to anything next year?
 

So we've got the inevitable albums of the year topic, which suggests 2003 is pretty much done musically. But what about 2004? Any stuff you're looking forward to?

I'm pretty vague on who's working on albums right now, so for me album wise so far it's only the new Dillinger Escape Plan album and Converge's "You Fail Me", which seems to have been forever in the making. Possibly a new Mastodon album as well.

Gig wise I can't wait to see Isis in March, and might while indulge the side of me with a soft spot for "pop punk" by going to see Thrice and Coheed and Cambria.

You lot?

I'm expecting these new albums

- On Thorns I Lay
- Borknagar
- Einstürzende Neubauten - Perpetuum Mobil (Could be interesting)
- Flowing Tears - Razorbliss
- System Of A Down
- Slipknot*
- Rammstein*

* - May release an album next year (according to some rumors)

<font color=969696>Iced Earth*
Hypocrisy*
Exodus
Testament
Borknagar
Sinergy
Norther
Dødheimsgard
Dissection
Judas Priest
Control Denied**

* - Already heard it and can confirm its awesomeness.
** - Praying for it.</font>

<font color="#99CCFF">Reading Festival</font>

jimmy eat world
get up kids

They'd better hold another Download festival next year since I'll be able to go (unlike this year :mad: )

And Taking Back Sunday.

Ja Rule retiring in June (which HOPEFULLY means he'll put out a DECENT last album)
Evanescence starting to write album #3

Dillinger Escape Plan
Hopesfall
In Flames

I'd rather that album never saw the light of day, since it apparently isn't even finished. The last thing Chuck's legacy needs is some dodgy half finished album being released by some money hungry label and tainting his legacy.

Leeds Festival

Going to see the Drive Thru tour, Brand new and Straylight run in Jan

Lost Prophets and Blink 182 in February

<center><font color="#0080FF" face="Arial" Size="2">yeah, there's about a million shows i'm going to, that's just up to march. and reading, of course.

then there's new material from taking back sunday, glassjaw, the ataris, the used and finch... and others that i can't remember. :mad:

should be another great year for music. :drool:</font>

Judas Priest
Testament
Exodus
Death Angel
Slayer (hopefully)
Soilent Green (again, hopefully)

<font color=969696>According to Chuck's mom, everything is written, and Chuck has recorded (?) all of his parts already. I don't know about the other guys, though.</font>

Iced Earth
Slayer
Metallica (I still have a little hope for them in that they will someday put out an album that pisses all over MOP, a little)
Velvet Revolver
Anything that Tony Iommi plans on releasing, if he does release anything
And yes, System of a Down

-edit-

And I almost forgot, Dave Mustaine's solo album.

Dunno really, the only album I'm looking at is Five for Fightings new one which is out in feb

Think the new Clipse album might already be out... Call "Hell Hath No Fury" I believe.

-edit- I check VAClipse.com and they said not until March 23rd...damn. :blush:

I really can't wait for Reading

Last year being my first year, I wasn't 100% sure of myself, but next year I'm gonna make sure I have an even better time, and also Mean Fiddler will hopefully pull their heads of their arses and get in some really decent talent this year, particularly as shares in the company have soared recently.

The Used, Finch, Taking Back Sunday, My Chemical Romance, Glassjaw and Ataris new albums.

Thursday and The Mars Volta at the Big Day Out. :love: :love: :love:

Lots and lots of albums. Cool gigs like The Ataris, Drive Thru Tour, Brand New, Thrice and Coheed and Cambria, Funeral For A Friend.

Reading Festival
Download

Oh and winning the lottery to be able to go to these festivals would help.

Aerosmith's blues CD :drool:

I'd imagine Creed has to be coming out with something new too

<center><font color=white face="Comic Sans MS">BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDTHRRRRRROOOOOOOOOUUUUUGH (Nine Inch Nails album)

Slipknot's got a new album coming out, as well as Otep, Rammstein, Einsturzende Neubauten, Ministry, Revolting Cocks, and I think possibly Meshuggah. (Note to Sickboy, yeah Rammstein and Slipknot are definately releasing albums) Tenative tours from all those bands, plus I read about a U.S tour for Laibach that I'm interested in. Hoping Fear Factory will tour as well. And having read this thread, I guess I will be looking forward to more Testament, SOAD, Borknager, Iced Earth, Sinergy, annnnnnd I might go to the SF date on the upcoming U.S. Metallica tour IF it's not very expensive.

What are the rumors on new Slayer material?</font>

<font color=teal>INCUBUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</font>

i read somewhere that the cure might be reforming. if so, that.

<center><font color="#0080FF" face="Arial" Size="2">yeah, i read they're doing a new album

robert smith called it "the heaviest album ever" or something.</font>

it's cure heavy though, not like metal heavy or anything :love:

<center><font color="#0080FF" face="Arial" Size="2">the song he sings on on the new blink album is cool. :heart:</font>

Does that mean it makes you more depressed than their old stuff? :p
