What albums are you looking forward to in 2010?

New Amphetameanies one is due out at the back end of the year, that's going to be a long wait, and Dirty Revolution have finally cut all the tracks for their debut, due out in the next month or so. Thats next on my definate but list, though no doubt there will be a lot of casual purchases along the way.
 
Iron Maiden's Final Frontier Album. It has been a while since they had an album out. Hopefully they will go back to sounding more like Classic Maiden (Nuraber of the Beast + Piece Of Mind) rather than New Maiden(A Matter of Life and Death + Dance of Death), Don't get me wrong they are both great.
 
None and I mean that sincerely. 2008 was poor beyond belief unless I want to hear another Electro Pop album or suddenly stop talking about Arctic Monkeys now that they have got a little bit serious on us.
 
As long as the QOTSA album is miles better than the Them Crooked Vultures album, I'll be happy. Also, they're supposed to re-release their self-titled album and play it on tour sometime.
 
As am I.

But I'm mostly looking forward to Jet Lag - Josiah Wolf. Release date is March 5th and judging from the single it sounRAB promising. I'm also keeping an eye out for new Panda Bear and Jens Lekman albums. I've got to be honest though, looking through the list of albums set for release this year (so far), I'm not really expecting to be blown away by 2010.
 
To add to my previous list:

Broken Bells - Broken Bells (March 9)
Autechre - Oversteps (March 23)
Coheed and Carabria - Year of the Black Rainbow (April 13)
Flying Lotus - Cosmogramma (May 4)
Jamie Lidell - Compass (May 18)
Funckarma - tba (June?)
The Thermals - tba (Septeraber 7)
Band of Horses - Night Rainbows (tba)
Skinny Puppy - tba (tba)

And the two DJ Kicks mixes (Flying Lotus & Burial) are constantly being delayed, so screw 'em).
 
:(


Noisia - Split the Atom (Apr 6th) has got me all kinRAB of excited.

Also in DnB, Danny Byrd and Klute both have new releases coming sometimes in 2010.

Gorillaz of course...

I'm sure I'll think of more later.
