Dig Lazarus Dig is pretty good.

[HevyDevy]

Also with Alice In Chains, Metallica, Chris Cornell, Fear Factory and Social Distortion due to release new albums this year things are really looking decent for the second half of the year.

See, you just can't have AIC without Layne ...

 

[Whos Ya Daddy]

 

[AusKnightRKO]

The Motley album aint half bad

 

[AusKnightRKO]

And Rev Theory - Light it up

Yeah agree.

Who's doing Vocals for AIC? Jerry Cantrell doesn't cut it as lead vocalist so i hope it's not just him.

William DuVall.

He's pretty good, but he obviously can't replace Layne.

They should have changed their name.

Here's a vid of them doing Man In The Box:

I think it's a bit insulting to be doing it under the Alice In Chains name but I'm still interested to see what they come up with on the new album.

Opeth's "Watershed".

In Flames' "A Sense Of Purpose" went well, too.

I have to add Bullet For My Valentine's "Scream Aim Fire", too. Not a fan of theirs but this album was pretty damn good.

Also:

Averse Sefira - "Advent Parallax" is brutally awesome.

AIC was always more about Cantrell than Staley IMO. Cantrell did nearly all of the songwriting for the band and a lot of the vocal sound of AIC's work came from Cantrell's backing vocals.

Dig! - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Primary Colours - Eddy Current Supression Ring
Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend
Seldom Seen Kid - Elbow
Flight of the Conchords - Flight of the Conchords

Radiohead would be there, but I just can't put the album in under 2008. I've fallen in love with the album all over again after watching "In Rainbows - From The Basement" which is available on iTunes. Just f*cking amazing...

Ofcourse, but without Staley their still a great band, just not one of the greatest.

Got me Weezer's new one...prob my fav so far this year...

Don't hold your breath on the Social Distortion album. It took them long enough to release their last album and Mike Ness has been touring solo a bit himself over the last year. Not sure when they'll find time to record the newie.

As for Alice In Chains; perish the thought. If it ain't got Layne Staley then it ain't got sh*t!

 

[Non Terminator]

2008...hmm.
So far my favourites would be Watershed by Opeth, A Sense Of Purpose by In Flames and The Scarecrow by Avantasia.

 

[Eelementary]

Adding:

Gloomy Grim - "Under The Spell Of The Unlight"

Scar Symmetry (I forget the name but it is sweet)

Soulfly - "Conquer"

Theoktony - "I"

 

[Non Terminator]

Dig Lazarus Dig is pretty good.

i see Motley Crue have a new album out.

i doubt i will buy it.

also. the Offspring. they have one out as well. any good?

Motley Crue's was actually alright, I didn't mind it!
I didn't have many expectations from the Offspring's new one, but I liked it more than I thought I would.

 

[Zoidberg]

Cog - Sharing Space, truly epic and awesome.
Can't wait for new Butterfly Effect and Josh Pyke coming out soon
