The 25 Most Anticipated Albums Of 2012: Madonna, Usher, Green Day
What sets are you most excited about? Mumford & Sons, Justin Bieber, U2, Jay-Z...
Madonna
Preceded by opening single, “Gimme All Your Luvin,” Madonna’s first album for Interscope will come out this March. We know the Super Bowl halftime headliner gets a little help from M.I.A. and Nicki Minaj on at least two songs on the set, which was produced by Martin Solveig, William Orbit and Benny Benassi. It’s too early to tell if her first studio album since 2008’s “Hard Candy,” will be a “Masterpiece.” A tour will follow.

REALLY?
Seriously?
Ugh. Even in the mostly-creatively-bankrupt world of top-40 music, Madonna has been washed up for years, and has done nothing worth noting. Same for Metallica.
One of these sections is not like the others!
Oh well, I guess you are going for things you think will get you copious page hits....
katie, a princess "Madonna... has done nothing worth noting. Same for Metallica."
January 3, 2012 at 11:57AM ESTThat's a pretty unsupportable position.

January 7, 2012 at 6:03PM EST Reply to CommentThe fact that you categorize Muse as Twilight vets is infuriating. They were a leading band in Europe before Twilight was even a book.
Drumslinger I agree. Matt Bellamy is a musical genius and to see them live is something to behold.

January 22, 2012 at 5:24PM EST Reply to CommentSo wrong that Tool, arguably one of the most original and talented active bands in the world, gets little more than a cursory mention while Bieber and Usher get full pages. Granted, they've been teasing us about a new album since 2009. Going to see them in Atlanta Feb. 8. A show which is strangely absent from the Hitfix calendar.
