Listened to the new Foo Fighters and Prophets of Rage albums today. No surprises on either of those albums really, Foo Fighters are still radio rock, and Prophets of Rage just RATM with different rappers.
I will say that I thought the Prophets of Rage album is a little better than I expected (I had low expectations) and the tracks where they don't just try to sound like RATM with Chuck D/B-Real were the highlights.

Not sure if it's a combination of old age and the fact that there have been few if any decent new releases lately...but I found myself really enjoying this.
A decent if not altogether adventurous album.

After one listen I'd go with a 6/10. I think there were some decent songs, and a nice almost Floyd vibe in some parts. Also crushing mediocrity in others.
I certainly think it's better than the last few FF albums.
I wasn't really a fan of Bjork's last two albums, but I'm always up for checking out what she's releasing.
edit: The video for the song is out now...

Not really a new song, but a new video for a great song, off one of the best albums from this year:

Relapse is proud to present the deluxe reissue of YOB's The Great Cessation.
Originally released in 2009, the trio's 5th full-length record is a master lesson in cosmic Doom. Epic, crushing, and heavy beyond words, YOB achieved legendary status in recent years due to their unmatched aesthetic and incredible body of work. The Great Cessation is a flawless document of a band reformed and reinspired like never before. Ebbing and flowing between thunderous, skull-splitting riffage and rhythm to meditative moments of introspective psychedelia, The Great Cessation is an essential piece in the pantheon of YOB's illustrious output.
This definitive edition has been completely remastered by Heba Kadry (The Mars Volta, Diamanda Galas, Slowdive) and includes stunning new artwork plus two bonus tracks (previously only available on vinyl).
