Summer Music Preview: 37 Key Albums
While there's still no official word on whether the summer will bring long-in-the-works new albums from Arcade Fire, Beck, LCD Soundsystem, or Queens of the Stone Age, the coming months will definitely see new releases from Lorde, Broken Social Scene, Katy Perry, Big Boi, Lana Del Rey, Phoenix, Ride, and more.
Browse our collection of the summer's most notable new albums—as well as several noteworthy re-releases and compilations—below, where you can also listen to songs from each release.
Available on two CDs or three LPs, this expanded 20th anniversary reissue of Radiohead's classic OK Computer features a remastered version of the original album and adds eight B-sides and three previously unreleased tracks. One of the latter songs is "Lift," a song that they've performed live multiple times but which was cut from the final album tracklist for being too anthemic and infectious.
