This Year's Album Releases

Here's a little list I've been compiling about all the albums I'm at least somewhat interested in that are coming out or have come out this year.  It should be a pretty good year for albums unlike last year's lackluster releases.  I'll probably be reviewing some of these at some point.

The ones I'm probably most hopeful about are the hypothetical Pierce the Veil album and the hypothetical Sum 41 album.  Although Sum 41 has changed their style quite a bit, you can definitely make an argument that the quality of the song writing is at least on par with earlier albums.  Also, I would definitely make the argument that Sum 41's lyrical content is much deeper post-2002.

Pierce the Veil is definitely a band that has gotten better with every release.  Are they at their peak?  We will find out soon enough.
