2011 Summer Music Preview


Scanning the list of albums coming out this summer it looks like yet again the music industry will be holding out their big guns until the fourth Christmas with albums by U2, Coldplay, Dr. Dre (?) and Pearl Jam likely to have new albums out by Christmas. But there are some new albums released before Memorial Day that may be worth checking out. Here is a list. You can preorder the album on Amazon by clicking on the title or through iTunes by clicking the artist's name.

With two singles already released months ago, I thought we may have gotten Detox by now, but alas it is still relegated to the obligatory “maybe this is the year Dr. Dre releases Detox” status.
