Coldplay - Prospekt's March (Nov '08)Generally EPs drop before a full album release, but these British lads will follow up their June release of Viva la Vida or Death And All His Friends with additional songs from their most recent studio sessions. Track I'm most pumped about: "Lost+" featuring Jay-Z.
The Killers - Day and Age (Nov '08)After silencing critics with their sophomore effort "Sam's Town" in 2006 and subsequent release of B-sides compilation "Sawdust", The Killers keep bringing indie heat. If "Day and Age" is anything like the first two, we're all in for a treat.
The Fray - Untitled (Jan '09)I'm especially pumped about this group's sophomore album. If the songs floating around YouTube are any indication, these Denver bloats are here to stay. On a personal note, I got a chance to meet these guys in October '06 when they were already working on this album. Needless to say, it's about time!
And may I recommend one more album to check out: Brett Dennen's "Hope for the Hopeless" which dropped on Monday. Dennen has flown under the radar for years (and will probably continue to) but this kid is a seriously talented songwriter. Listen at your own reward.
