My 4 Most Anticapated Albums For Summer

A lot of my favorite bands have already released albums very recently.
These are the 4 though that I have my eye on for this summer which I cant wait for:

1. Coldplay Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends
Release Date: June 18th 2008
Coldplay first three albums were masterpieces no reason this one won't be. Only other thing I can say about it is that it has been quoted "This is the album people will remember them by". If this is true after the first 3 albums the impact could be unforeseen.

2. Weezer Weezer ( The Red Album)
Release Date: June 17th
While Make Believe garnered Weezer significant airplay and their popularity soared the album was a step away from the rock-poptastic album we were used to. Instead Make Believe was more radio friendly and just a little rock. The Red Alum is supposed to be a return to Weezer's traditional sound with long songs which are enjoyable to listen to and you can listen to 5 years from now and still sound good. Weezer is one of the defining bands of the 90's and while the 2000's has been good to them is could be the album that puts them back into the cream of the crop in rock and rivals The Blue Album or Pinkerton. One thing is guaranteed with the new album which is it will be good because honestly this band never produces garbage.

3. Jacks Mannequinn The Glass Passenger
Release Date: June 3rd 2008
Coming just 15 days before Coldplays album and killing my bank account is Andrew McMahon's sophomore effort with Jacks. The first album was the one which really got me in to Andrew McMahon's music and SOCO. JM has always been a staple in pop and rock and this album has been anticipated for quite a while. If the new album is anything like the first it will be a polished piano driven masterpiece and something which will probably garner him more attention the ever before.

4. Usher Here I Stand
Release Date: May 27th 2008
And I thought that I might get one album in August, nope. I'll be moving to welfare by the end of this. Just messing. I have always been a fan of Ushers work. It always has been very polished and has a sense of maturity mixed with his talent. His new album comes almost 4 years after Confessions which may be his biggest album yet. Like any Usher album it will have the dance singles to the funky ones to the plain pretty songs. It will be good guaranteed and after Justin Timberlake's huge hits the last two summers I expect Usher to take the airwaves this summer. This may be the album of summer in terms of radio play and in pop music.
