Most anticipated album releases of 2015

Since today is a market holiday, and cold, and sleety, I've been inside for most of the day listening to music and I just cracked open an oatmeal stout called Mastiff from Rail House Brewery (Aberdeen, NC).

 

I'm also thinking about my most anticipated album releases for 2015. I realize this is about a month too late to get everything in, as there have already been some great releases thus far. But I'll post a few more and, hey, maybe you should, too. Then we can listen to each other's music and have some greater understanding about each other or some poo.

 

I'll start with my favorite so far, which is Father John Misty's spectacular sophomore release "I Love You Honeybear." I was pleasantly surprised to see this was the monthly choice for the Vinyl Me Please record-of-the-month club. Listen to this dude, and look up his lyrics. He's a next-level songwriter and this album is only getting better with each listen. Too bad I'll be busy the night he's at the Orange Peel.

As far as the rest of 2015, I'm really looking forward to the new Screaming Females album, "Rose Mountain." Here's the album closer, which I've been playing incessantly. I've got a thing for female leads. This girl shreds.

There is supposed to be a release this year from polarizing black metal band Deafheaven. I've always struggled to really connect with metal, but this band did the trick for me. Their 2013 release "Sunbather" was very well-received by indie rock loving hipsters, but not so much by metal purists. I guess I fall into the former category, but whatever. It's good. Here's a song about alcoholism:

I was excited to learn The Tallest Man on Earth is releasing a new album in May, called "Dark Bird is Home." It's cliche at this point, but any Bob Dylan fan looking for something new to listen to will probably take to this guy.

I don't want to overload the OP here, so just one more. Run The Jewels. They're actually mixing their stunning 2014 release "Run The Jewels 2" in with cat sounds. It's going to be called "Meow The Jewels." In addition, there may be a "Run The Jewels 3," which, if as good as the previous two, would be a ridiculous run of three spectacular albums. Jury's still out on what MTJ will sound like, and you can consult El-P's Instagram or something if you want to hear a snippet.

I'm also looking forward to new stuff from Waxahatchee and hoping for some new tunes from Radiohead.

 

So, feel free to post some of your most anticipated releases or vilify me for my taste, which is sampled above.

    • Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.  
    • Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO. 
    • Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
