11 upcoming albums we can't help but be a bit worried about
Delays, overly long hiatuses, key members leaving
- Slipknot - TBC: The legendary masked metal band are set to release their fifth album this year, but with the tragic death of bassist Paul Gray in 2010 and the very recent departure of drummer Joey Jordison we're worried the as-yet-untitled record, their first since 2008, won't live up to previous efforts.

There are certain albums that have been in the works for what feels like forever - and it seems as though they'll never see the light of day, despite constant reassurals and new release dates (which then get pushed back again).
2014 and 2015 promises a variety of long-awaited records from legendary artists such as Wu Tang Clan and Guns N' Roses, as well as debuts from newbies including Azealia Banks and Iggy Azalea. But the more we wait, the more we worry they just simply won't live up to the hype.
Not to mention there's offerings from bands who have lost members along the way - Interpol and Slipknot, for example. Will these departures have a marked effect on the quality of new material?
Take a look at 11 albums in the works that we can't help but be worried about.
