For how long? Popular Songs wasn't great but it had a few great cuts on it, and so much before that was pure gold (from Kick Your Ass to Painful pretty much). Haven't checked them out yet because checking yesterday I didn't notice it leaked but I'll be satisfied with anything pretty good. I doubt they're burned out...
This and MBV could pretty much satisfy me for 2013! Hoping for the best.
And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out was probably the last great release from them in all honesty. Beat Your Ass had one or two great songs but the album as a whole was just good. I'm hoping they have at least one more fantastic album in them (something at least somewhere near the quality of any of the albums from Painful - Inside-Out, all of which were perfection.)
That's not to say Fade doesn't have good songs. Ohm and and The Point of It are lovely songs, but even then they aren't enough by themselves for me to call the album good. Fade is just an ok release for me, which is a shame because there are only about 3 albums in their entire discography I'd call "ok." Fade is one of them.

Let's see...
Red
Skillet
Relient K
The Dillenger Escape Plan
A7x (Hopefully)
The Airborne Toxic Event (Hopefully)
Lady Gaga
Paramore
Bon Jovi (Just to see what style of music it is)
Bring Me the Horizion
Those are the ones I'm looking forward to the most, there's a lot of others that I'll probably listen to....... ok and the Backstreet Boys, don't judge me.

New Skrillex EP Leaving is surprisingly good. Not too fond of one of the songs, Scary Bolly Dub, but the other two tracks are surprisingly subtle, and unlike most things he has released in the past. More subtleties, more melody, slower, smoother. I think it's a change for the better.
Leaked:
Black Veil Brides - Wretched and Divine (ugh)
Unknown Mortal Orchestra - II (neo-psych)
Sulphur Aeon - Swallowed by the Ocean's Tide (death metal, quite good)
Mechina (industrial metal, Fear-Factory ripoff)
Cult of Luna - Vertikal (more electronic stuff going on, still great)
Nosaj Thing - Home (electronic)
The Bronx - IV (punk rock)
Lisa Germano - No Elephants (alt rock/dream pop)
The Project Hate MCMXCIX - The Cadaverous Retaliation Agenda (prog death)

It's already been done. His new EP sounds like stuff Burial and Thom Yorke have already made. Never really got into the whole brostep thing, hopefully it dies out soon.
Then again, pretty much anything in music has already been done. I'm not familiar with Burial and Thom Yorke, but my point was mainly that Skrillex is moving in a different direction, and I think it is a change for the better. I think it's funny how a lot of people commenting on his channel don't like it because it's not ''heavy'' enough.
this was pretty awesome
Honestly i think the Burial influence is really really overstated. He's making an obvious shift towards more atmosphere but he's still a long way off of Burial in that regard. Sadly I don't think it's entirely well executed, at least not enough for me to give it more than one listen. My issue with Skrillex isn't that his music is horrible so much as it's the same thing over and over and over again, so i guess in that sense change is good?
Whooooooop
I don't agree with this at all. I agree that he WANTED to sound like Burial but the sound is just to glittery and bright to ever be mistaken for Burial in my opinion. In a way that's a good thing; as singular as Burial is there are plenty of artists who dabble in that distinctive sound to various extents, and maybe someone can come up with bright and glittery Burial sound that works. My money is not on Skrillex however.
:
Vex - Memorious (quite accessible death metal)
Aether Realm - One Chosen by the Gods (melodic death metal)
Everything Everything - Arc (indie pop/art pop, weird in a good way)
Broadcast - Berberian Sound Studio (film score, unlike their usual stuff, first after Trish died I think)
Primitive Man - Scorn (sludge/doom metal)
Katalepsy - Autopsychosis (brutal death metal, can't stand band/album names like this)
