Now, if your vision's a lot better than ours, and you're hip enough that you know what the covers of upcoming albums of all your favorite artists are, you don't need to read any further. Just click on over to the dedicated preview page for this particular batch of discs and start listening. The rest of you, not sure if it's worth a click, may be convinced by the list we've posted after the jump.
- Of Montreal - False Priest
- The Walkmen - Lisbon

If you can't find something to be excited about on that list, then you don't like music much. All of these albums are set for release next Tuesday, and they'll only be on the preview page until then, so don't dawdle. Wait longer than that, and you'll have to pay to hear them like everybody else (well, except those torrent jockeys).
