2023 brought us some great music releases. We had albums from brand new artists and even new music from artists that have been doing this for 4 or 5 decades. It was a cool year for rock music fans. I thought we could take a look at 5 Albums to be excited about as the new year begins!
Now, of course, I’m going to focus on rock. But there are releases from just about every genre that music fans in general will love. It’s always exciting when one of your favorite bands or artists announces they’re putting out new material. Sometimes they give you a taste of what you can expect and tease you, so you want to pick up the new album.
Sometimes, it’s almost a surprise, when an announcement is made and you barely know what to expect as the album is just weeks away and you’re clamoring to head to your local record shop to pick up a copy!
Why Should You Care About New Music?
Putting on a new album is always fun because it’s a journey. It’s cool to hear the artist’s vision come together and take you on an audio ride through 12 or 13 tracks all weaving various textures and sounds together. Sometimes it’s a concept album that tells a story, and sometimes it’s just a bunch of tracks that stand alone and just plain rock.
What’s cool about this list of albums to look forward to is that it has artists on it that have been around for 20 years and ones from the 70s still putting out amazing tunes! It’s really fun to see the diversity from punk to heavy, to everything in between.
Oh and if you’re looking for shops you could go to so you can pick up these releases, you may want to check out the following. I’m not guaranteeing they’ll have them in stock, but it’s worth a shot!
Now let’s take a look at 5 Albums to be excited for as the new year begins!
