I thought I'd start it before all your busters. Here's where you post about 2016 albums you've listened to (I guess).
I haven't listened to any, but I'm especially looking forward to Kitty's Miami Garden Club (missed a party from her in Miami last night :(), Brokencyde's All Grown Up (which may have me completely reappraise my "fandom"), and Hayden's follow-up to 2012's Manner (love ya, Bro, but you really gotta listen to the album I sent you <3).
Jan 22nd
Yves De May - Drawn With Shadow Pens
Roly Porter - Third Law
Chippendale/Gustafsson/Pupillo - Melt (unclear about exact release date, can't find much about this release but it has a good lineup).
Feb 19th
Matmos - Ultimate Care II
Animal Collective - Painting With
Venetian Snares - Traditional Synthesizer Music
March 4th
Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith - EARS
Thug Entrancer - Arcology
It was a disappointment at first but has gained some esteem from me as I listen to it more, though I still think it doesn't compare to any previous album. "Rock On" is easily the worst thing they've ever done, and I frequently skip it. "Shake Hands with Danger," "Gesceap," and most of the second half is good. John McEntire now seems entirely on synth/keyboards and that sound dominates the space; next is Jeff Parker, who I love but he treats Tortoise as his project where he can be a rock guitarist, and it fucking blows; McCombs and Herndon have pretty standard musicianship here, nothing special, which is very disappointing; and lastly, is Bitney even on this record? Official Tortoise studio album rankings are: Millions now living will never die = Tortoise = TNT >> It's all around you >Standards >> Beacons of Ancestorship >>>The Catastrophist
1/8 - Blackstar - David Bowie
1/29 - Hymns - Bloc Party
2/19 - Victorious - Wolfmother
TBA
New Gorillaz album
New Red Hot Chili Peppers album
New Pearl Jam album
New freaking Soundgarden album! (whaat?!) _________________ These are my favorite albums right now.
Definitely looking forward to the new Drake and Kanye albums. If Swans sticks to their pattern of releasing a studio album every 2 years with a live album in between for funding, then that will be great. Hopefully Frank Ocean will come back from the dead. Stars of the Lid as well.

Not sure if there's anything confirmed for 2016 that I'm excited about, but Modest Mouse are supposedly releasing the companion to Strangers to Ourselves soon. Though I don't have high hopes for that. And of course there's the Wrens, who said they finished their new album a few months back.
And I guess I should mention Frank and Kanye, though my new theory for Kanye is that he'll release his album in the final seconds of December 31st. _________________ And it's hard to be a human being. And it's harder as anything else.
I've gotten press copies of the new albums by Shearwater, Bianca Cassady (Cocorosie), and DJ Katapila (Awesome Tapes). Will report back when I've had a chance to digest them. _________________ http://jonnyleather.com
