It's 2008 and we're possibly even more excited about what this year has to offer than when we gave this countdown a shot for the first time last year. So, once again, we're Highlighting our most anticipated projects already in development for the year. Read on to see what records the staff of Jesusfreakhideout.com are most excited about - and why!



  7 of 25  
Album Cover#7. The Afters
Never Going Back To O.K.

Release Date: February 26


Has it really been almost three years since I Wish We All Could Win? That stellar record was one of those rare mainstream releases that caused indie elitists to do a double take and say “Uh…I actually like that.” Here’s to hoping their next release continues to bridge the gap....
        - Josh Taylor

It's been a few years since The Afters broke out onto the music scene with their label debut and the smash hit "Beautiful Love." With the absence of a studio record from the band since 2005, I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for this one!
        - Lauren Summerford

So they tricked us out with a supposed 2007 release, but alas, Never Going Back To O.K. is here, and since I already know it's quite tasty, I'd be cheating if we hadn't already picked them for this list last year. And, oh look! They've moved up for this year's list...
        - John DiBiase

Even if this release is a bit delayed, there's no reason not to be excited about the upcoming album Never Going Back To OK. If anything, the long hiatus of The Afters should be a sign of a carefully-polished project. And the band's new EP (now available on iTunes) contains three very solid tracks from the new album, a good indication that Never Going Back to OK should meet - if not surpass - the level of I Wish We All Could Win...
        - Spencer Priest

2005 was a major year for The Afters. It's seemed as if this band faded away as soon as their big hit saw a downplay on radio stations, but their greatness as a group has not been denied. This is their chance to make a comeback; three years is a long time to work on new material, but enough time to perfect flaws and prepare long-time fans for something grand. I'm interested in whether the band will do that or if it's merely an attempt to take a stab at a genre overplayed...
