What releases are you anticipating this year? I usually buy physical or digital releases that I’m really looking forward to.
First quarter:
Sometime:
Hopeful (nothing confirmed):
London Grammar
Brian Jonestown Massacre / Anton Newcombe
Nothing But Thieves
New albums from:
The Smile
Idles
And “Band on the Run Underdubbed”
This Friday there are two Im looking forward too a lot.
Magnum…Here comes the Rain
Neal Morse…The Restoration Jospeh Part 2
Then end of this month
Alkaline Trio…Blood, Hair and Eyeballs
Afraid I really have not looked farther forward than that yet…
So far…albums from The Smile, Judas Priest, & Pearl Jam. Hope to be pleasantly surprised by a few more as of yet unannounced in 2024.
Would like to see a new album from Tool. But I’m not going to hold my breath for one.
Considering it was 13 years between 10000 Days and Fear Inoculum, yeah it might be a while. FI is 3 years old already. 
J Mascis (February)
Black Crowes (March)
Fu Manchu (tbd?)
Pre-ordered already and looking forward to:
Billy Joel´s Piano Man as a quadrophonic SACD Deluxe Edition from Japan

Several mentions of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds’ Wild God so I thought I’d post this if some haven’t seen yet.
This actually gave me goosebumps. Also, first teaser/trailer for an album I’ve ever seen.
Sadly no DVD or blu-ray being announced yet. Let us keep fingers crossed.
Speaking of blu-rays to come:
Luther Vandross
Pet Shop Boys
Everything but the girl
Keeping an eye out for Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs’ release, “Vagabonds, Virgins & Misfits,” due out June 14, 2024. First song from album features Graham Nash…
Fourth album expected August 23. Their first three are exceptional.
Fontaines D.C. “Romance”
