Anticipated Albums: 2017

debaserr · 08-15-2017, 12:51 AM

Apparently Grizzly Bear were selling their new album at a show tonight.

Internet, plz.

I literally just found out this was coming at all minutes ago. Much hype.

Shields was a letdown after their first two stellar albums, but this band is pretty solid. I wonder how the last 5 years went for them...

I'm going to guess they became even more of hipster poster childs. I'm reserving excitement. Yellow House is one of my favorite albums of all time but I was disappointed with Veck even though some songs were great and Shields was just awful.

I checked and only Mike Portnoy has any connection with Dream Theater that I know of. I was so hoping that I could make a joke about DT spamming our site cause nobody else cares, but not so much.

Shernihan was their keyboard player from 1994-1999. Not that anyone cares. I did think Sheehan was with them, but apparently not. I'm not a big DT fan anyway; just pointing out that these are all established musicians (Sheehan worked with Mr Big and DLR to name two, Jeff Soto is Jeff Scott Soto and he's a big name in AOR. Has worked with Yngwie and Axel Rudi Pell as well as TSO, and Ron Thal was with Guns n Roses), so not some kid trying to spam us to listen to his band.

Enslaved - E

Quote:

We are more than happy to announce the release of our epic new studio album for October 13th, 2017! This 14th full-length album sets our music free from genre boundaries and offers an unprecedented mix of prog, extreme metal and shoegaze on 8 tracks with a playing time of more than an hour. Titled »E«, the album was once again written by the unholy alliance of Ivar Bjørnson (music, lyrics) and Grutle Kjellson (lyrics) and marks the introduction of our new keyboard master and clean vocalist Håkon Vinje.

Interesting that the previous keyboardist/clean vocalist Ivar Bjørnson seems to have been replaced - I thought his vocals on 2015's In Times were great. I'd even go so far as to say In Times is my 5th favourite Enslaved album, so I've got high hopes for this one.

Edit - I'm an idiot and didn't even read the quote I put up - looks like Ivar is still part of the band.

I just heard the new song off the album "Storm Son" and it is... interesting. This album definitely signifies a bit of a genre shift, leaning more towards their progressive rock influences. It's not necessarily a bad thing, they've kind of been riding the wave started with their 2010 album Axioma Ethica Odini, but their two follow-ups since that haven't topped it.

I just hope they don't go full Opeth from here on out and make mediocre prog albums.
