Here's a look at some of the albums being release on Oct. 4:

Ian Anderson "Plays the Orchestral Jethro Tull" - The album features the Frankfurt Philharmonic Orchestra. Anyone else smell a Best Metal Grammy? Oh, and "What year is this?"

Fiona Apple "Extraordinary Machine" - Finally, the long awaited album from Fiona Apple hits stores. Thank God, the title has a lot fewer words than her last one.

Cream "Royal Albert Hall" - The second of many albums this week that make you say, "What year is this?" Cream reunited for some shows in England - and here's the fruits of that labor.

Franz Ferdinand "You could have it so much better....with" - I bet it sounds like the 80s.

Happy Mondays "Step On" - "What year is this?" number three...

Journey "Generations" - "What year is this?" number four...

KRS-One "The Lost Album" - Well, I'm glad they found it.

Nickelback "All the Right Reasons" - There are so many bands out there today where people say "They sound like Nickelback." In this case, you can truly say that, and be right.

Sinead O'Connor "Throw Down Your Arms" - Sinead follows in the footsteps of Willie Nelson and releases a reggae album.... um... ok.

Liz Phair "Somebody's Miracle" - Liz Phair continues to draw the ire of her longtime fans by trying to win over pop music fans.

Shinedown "Us and Them" - The singer has a great voice, but the music sounds like Nickelback....whoops!

Sponge "The Man" - "What year is this?" number five...

George Thorogood "30th Anniversary Tour: Live" - He's a great guitar player, and he was the first concert I ever went to, but ... (all together) - "What year is this?" (number six...)

Twista "The Day After" - Have you heard this guy rap? Talk about fast... It may be a novelty, but at least he's one of a kind.

Twisted Sister "Live at Wacken - The Reunion" - Say it with me now.... "What year is this?" (number seven)

This week's bands with animal names - (going strong since July 12): Brimstone Butterfly, Porkbelly Futures, Soulfly, Sponge, Tiger Saw, Tunnel Rats, We are Wolves.
