New CDs News
I’ve gone on a little streak recently of only reviewing past favorites of mine and I am sure there are some of you looking for present-day articles. Well worry not as in the future I will be reviewing the new Foo Fighters CD as well as the new Jimmy Eat World CD (when it is released of course.) For now, however, lets take a break from CD reviews and look at some upcoming, or announced, releases in the next six months to year.
For starters, The Offspring have been in the studio for a while now and are close to finally releasing their eighth CD. For those who remember their last release, Splinter came out way back in 2003. While their newest release doesn’t have much info out yet, the band has promised that the CD will come out late-2007 to early-2008. As no album name has been given yet, I would expect that date to be closer to 2008 than 2007. All the same, Offspring fans have to be excited at the prospect of new tracks after such a long wait.
Another band that has announced plans for a new CD are the lostprophets. Unlike The Offspring, this British band recently had a new album hit the stores. Still, the band has given their intentions to the media to make their CD turnaround shorter for their fourth studio album than it has been in the past. lostprophets, and yes their name is in all lower-caps, are one of the better British bands out there and this is good news, provided they do not rush a new album.
Finally, Weezer should be out with a new album in 2008…but no other details are really known.
Hopefully this gives you a few bands to keep an eye on for the next few months. I will continue posting news about these three bands, and any other new album releases that catch my eyes, as I hear about them. For now just take solace in the fact that I tried something outside of a CD review for once. And as I said before, feel free to request different bands/posts if you have any requests.
