Seven bands whose follow-up albums are long overdue
Really, self-explanatory
1. The Strokes
Remember 2005? Doesn’t it just seem like ages ago? Well, it is! Enough with the break. Sure, each year, after each new solo project of a member or another, they tell us the follow-up to First Impression of Earth is on its way. By now, we somehow don’t believe them anymore.
2. Klaxons
This is typical for a bunch of jokers like these one. Create a scene, kill it. Tell us your sophomore is ready, tell us the label is unhappy with it and you’re re-recording it. Take a trip to
3. These New Puritans
Brilliant debut in 2008, outstanding lack of information on these Southenders afterwards. Last week, they announced the tracklist for the second album. It also seems they were able to do what other have been struggling for year: get a release date, the 25th of January 2010
4. System Of A Down
We bet they are true role models for The Strokes. It’s pretty much uncertain whether they still are together or if a new album will ever come out. All we know is that they still love each other and that the thing that’s going on right now is a hiatus.
5. Justice
Like Klaxons, they are one of the most overhyped acts of 06/07 (this doesn’t mean that they aren’t one hell of a band). Like Klaxons, their debut † was listed amongst the 1001 albums you have to hear before you die. Like Klaxons, they enjoy playing with our feeling and not taking out that sophomore album already.
6. Interpol
One can anticipate a Strokes-like situation here. Paul Banks already has a solo project (Julian Plenti) which he has to promote endlessly, their latest album, Our Love To Admire, came out three years ago and our waiting for a follow-up will probably last 213098 years
7. The Rapture
Here’s the thing: if this lot doesn’t take out an album soon, I myself will put together a band that uses cowbells and triangles like they do. And now that Matt Safer left the band, you can bet everyone is curious how the band will sound.
