Top 5 anticipated albums of '08

[Spiner202]

What are your top 5? I don't really have 5. I'm really only looking for 3 and this is my order:

1. HammerFall - Right now, they've become my favorite band and their latest release (excluding the greatest hits cd) is now my favorite. Every song (except 1) is really amazing on that cd so I'm really excited to see where they're going next.

2. Metallica - Though I'm not sure if they count since this cd might never come out, it still is Metallica and for that reason I'm excited to hear this cd, I'm just expecting to be disappointed.

3. Alice Cooper - Along Came A Spider - Though I haven't been into Alice's stuff as much lately I still love his work and his last few albums were disappointing but he is a really amazing song writer and I still think he'll turn out a pretty good album.

[The Eye in the Sky!]

Well I dunno if I have five since I'm not too sure what is coming out this year but I've heard that Muse is working on a new album for the end of the year and Franz Ferdinand has something planned for the year. Trans-Siberian Orchestra said they have an album for the summer or fall as well. Avantasia's new album The Scarecrow is to be released later this month so I'll see how that is. Pyramaze also has an album coming soon with former Iced Earth singer Matt Barlow (I think that's his name). So I'll go with a temporary list.

1. Avantasia's Scarecrow (Sounds more pop but you can't go wrong having guest stars like Eric Singer, Alice Cooper, the guitarist from the Scorpions, Khan, Michael Kiske, Kai Hansen, and other people)
2. Muse's next album (I can't believe I never listened to them before now)
3. Franz Ferdinand's next album (More time = more quality songs, plz)
4. Pyramaze's new album (It's going to be Pyramazing)
5. Trans-Siberian's next album (Its not going to be Christmas related)

Chinese Democracy

[Austin.]

Scott Stapp's new Album in August.
Hopefully a new Alter Bridge album though not likely.
Maybe a new MB20 album Highly unlikely.
Ummm...
Thats all I got.
I can only confirm one and thats the first one.

[The JoZ]

New Slipknot, new Disturbed, new Metallica.

Don't care if ya'll don't like any of the bands, those are albums I am eagerly awaiting to see how each band has progressed, if any.

Also, In Flames' "Sense of Purpose".

[Spiner202]

Ok now I have a top 5. I forgot about Slipknot and Disturbed. Though I really forgot Dragonforce, so they could overtake Disturbed. My new list:

1. HammerFall
2. Metallica
3. Alice Cooper
4. Dragonforce
5. Slipknot

[The Crowing]

1. Protest the Hero- Fortress

2. The Mars Volta- The Bedlam in Goliath

3.The Fall of troy-Phantoms on the Horizon

4.Dear Hunter- Act III (this is fourth simply because it's very unlikely they'll get it out by the end of the year)

5.new Muse album

[General Tso]

"A Sense of Purpose" - In Flames
"The Bedlam In Goliath" - The Mars Volta
"The Alchemy Index: Vols. III & IV - Earth & Air+ - Thrice
"IF" - Mindless Self Indulgence
New Slipknot
New Team Sleep

And probably some more I've forgotten at the moment...

[Believe The Sickness]

In order of possible release dates:

Protest The Hero - January 29
Metallica - February 2008
In Flames - April 4
Death By Stereo - mid 2008
Rise Against - fall 2008

Not even sure if DBS or Rise Against will get theirs out this year. But the others have me quite excited.

I've only got two off the top of my head . . . The Dreams You Dare to Dream by Brave Saint Saturn (PLEASE finish it!!) and The Bedlam in Goliath - The Mars Volta (seems a bunch of people here are eagerly anticipating this).

Edit: Chris Daughtry REALLY needs to make something new.

[Flip-Hkd]

Children Of Bodom - Blooddrunk

[Dark Cadence]

Counting Crows, which comes out in March
Hopefully Ben Folds will announce a new album; same with Guster.
Zox - Line in the Sand

And despite already owning it (Pre Order) State Radio's Year Against the Crow is an AMAZING album. And if you like Dispatch, definitely check them out.

[Nicholas]

Ill Nino-Enigma. Looks like a promising album, and I like the band.

[Majin]

New Thrice, Saves The Day, Anberlin, Underoath, and In Flames.

For some reason I don't feel like I'm going to be impressed too much with the new Protest the Hero and The Fall of Troy.
