Oh shit, are they still around? I loved Torches, but didn't even listen to the second album they put out. I heard it wasn't good -- even from huge fans. So I just kind of passed, and I didn't have the money at the time anyway. Guess I could give it a listen. Here's hoping their third album is good because I was super into them back in '11.
As for me, I'm looking forward to Ed Sheeran. I grabbed + at the airport in London on the way home in early 2012 and was really happy with it -- then he broke through here in the US so that was nice to see, ahaha. Loved X even more, so I have high hopes for Divide. I don't have a Divide sign on my keyboard hmm. Apparently Coldplay has something dropping this year which eh. Shrug. Might give it a listen.
Gorillaz, Lorde, Logic, SZA, and Schoolboy Q are also listed to be dropping something in 2017 so I'll look forward to that, if that happens to be true. I'm going to be honest, I usually just grab albums as they come and don't pay attention to who is dropping and when -- aside from a select few artists. I was counting the days down for Kings of Leon to drop WALLS.
I don't see them listed on the page I'm looking at, but I keep seeing Pendulum post shit on their Facebook implying they're doing something this year, so out of all of this, I think that's what I'm looking forward to the most. Their last release was in 2010 and as I recall, wasn't enjoyed by many? I really liked Immersion, so whatever. But anyway...we'll see.
