After a successful thread of Albums 2013 it seemed sensible to have a new one for albums this year.



Albums I am looking forward to this year so far are

Temples

The Kills

Beck

Broken Bells



I am sure many more but my mind is blank at the moment

Albums I am looking forward to this year so far are :-



Behemoth

Mastodon

Opeth

Belphegor

Metronomy - Love Letters, available 10th March

Looking forward to finishing our own album in the next couple of months.



Mainly, that I've seen in 2014, there is only Joe Pug I am looking forward to.

High Hopes by Bruce Springsteen is leading my "Albums of 2014" list at the minute

Morrissey finally has a new album out this year. www.nme.com/news/morrissey/74911

High Hopes, low delivery. Ok, he's gone 60, he's still doing great live shows, but really, it's not great. It's just a good pop record now.

Chvrches (poss new one this year)

Kasabian

Linkin Park

Foxes

Horrors

Grimes

Also news of Beck releasing a proper album "Morning Phase" 24 Feb.

DOWN will be back in the year of XIV. There shall be riff's. Heavy ones.

Above & Beyond's Acoustic album



Above & Beypnd are a British based trance act who have decided to turn a selection of there songs acoustic for an album release



What they have done is create a masterpiece of tracks with real touching emotion without the 'boom boom boom' sound of their normal club tracks



A top album which is worth discovering (a full film of of footage of two nights they did in London is available on 'that' video website which they released on Friday)

Absolutely nothing of any huge interest in the pipeline this year for me other than Sonic Boom Six and Random Hand, maybe The Skints too.



But no doubt by the end of the year, I'll have found another dozen great albums. Same every year....
