5 - Muse - Title TBA - Fall 2012

Muse has been riding high since the Twilight effect and are looking to keep this momentum going. According to lead singer Matt Bellamy, this album might sound a little different:


All joking aside, I expect Muse to keep pushing the envelope as they continue their musical evolution.

4 - Tyler, The Creator - Wolf - May 2012

Tyler's "Goblins" had its moments, with the biggest impact coming in the forms of "Yonkers. The kid has skills, there's no denying that. I'm expecting a more mature effort from the Creator, production wise and lyrically, with a splash of his trademark oddness.

3 - Black Sabbath - Title TBA - Date TBA

With Rick Rubin on board as producer, Black Sabbath's first full length album of original material with its founding members since 1978 will be incredible. Anything Rubin touches turns to gold and he will keep Sabbath on the path of "doom and gloom". It was recently announced that Iommi has early stage lymphoma, but the band claims that it will not delay the project.

2 - Kendrick Lamar - Good Kid In A Bad City - Date TBA

If you don't know how I feel about Lamar, check out my top 10 of 2011. I believe that he's on the cusp of being a house hold name as long as "Good Kid In A Bad City" gets rightfully promoted. He's ready to move on to the next one.

1 - Jay-Z and Kanye West - Watch The Throne 2 (RUMOURED) - Date TBA 

There has been no official statement announcing the follow up to Jay and Ye's opulent album. Mr. Carter has dropped some hints indicating that they hit a groove while on tour and a new album is a strong possibility. The Louis Vuitton Don and Hova are also expected to drop their own solo works in 2012, which means that The Throne are in line to takeover this calendar year.
