Albums on the Horizon in Early 2011
2011 is going to bring new albums from Radiohead, The Decemberists, R.E.M., The Low Anthem, East River Pipe, and many more.
First up is The Decemberists. Their new album, a much more rootsy affair than The Hazards of Love, is titled The King Is Dead, and it’s steaming on NPR until it comes out in another couple weeks. To me it sounds good, but not essential. But still, good is good, you know? “And when we die we will die with our arms unbound…”

Here are a couple YouTube videos from the R.E.M. album, Collapse into Now, which we will have to wait awhile longer for (it will be out in March).

Interesting that the REM video didn't have any shots of a drummer (at least shots that I saw).
I caught a glimpse of him in one of the clips. It went by quickly.
R.E.M. would have been tighter and better, I think, if they would have replaced Bill Berry with a full-member drummer.
I don't pay that much attention, but I think they're using Bill Rieflin? They were, I know, but if they still are, I'm not wonky enough to know.
Agreed. Seems they're going for the noise-pop angle to cover-up the loss of a Bill Berry's heartbeat.
