Anyone remember the first album you got excited for pre release?
Mine was Yellowcard's Lights and Sounds at 13 y/o, I obsessed over the singles and all the making of hype material. I owned at some point 5 different physical versions of that album, including the Japanese CD with a bonus track (that wasn't very good)

This is a fun question. I think it might have been The Downward Spiral. I know we had seen the video for "Wish" on MTV and my friend bought the Broken EP and somebody else bought "Pretty Hate Machine" and we'd meetup at somebody's house and listen to both over and over again on a discman connected to shitty little speakers. The difference in sound between albums was significant, with PHM being more synth pop and Broken more metal, so TDS was the first time I was curious and excited to find out how a bands sound would change.
IIRC "March of the Pigs" was the first single, which felt very "Broken", then "Closer" felt like the culmination of what Reznor was trying to do on PHM. Groovy and sexy and dark. That plus my burgeoning love for hip-hop, mostly via Dr. Dre, paved the way for numetal taking over my world in high school.

Meteora, Take Off Your Pants and Jacket, The Eminem Show, The Young and The Hopeless, and Get Rich or Die Trying all came to mind. I think Take Off Your Pants and Jacket would have been first, and I remember me and all the other delinquent ten years olds being obsessed with Blink 182 in 4th and 5th grade. Fun Fact: we somehow made a push and successfully voted Family Reunion in as our class song at the end of 5th grade, graduating elementary school or whatever. I remember being really excited for all of these pre-release mainly due to the singles. This was a fun prompt and brought up a lot of weird nostalgia and memories from like 2000-2004

setlist from the final The Smiths show. i don't think i could physically handle the impact of the wave of joy hitting me to see a show open with "Ask".
Not to drop the high school talk quite just yet. My ?0th reunion is coming up and the fucking class bully that made people cry on the daily, got several teachers to quit, who says he only remembers everyone with love and is an MMA fighter, reached out to me to try to convince me to go. Whatever loser, fuck you and the other 38 ppl signed up that I never want to see again (There were 90 of us and only about 50 left). There's literally 3 ppl signed up that I would want to see and not at a shitty hotel on Bourbon Street for $150/person.
There albums I was super stoked about buying (nevermind, dookie, mellon collie) but I wasn't actively waiting for them to come out or anything. But my friend's older sister was really into dave matthews band and was the reason I bought under the table and dreaming. I was so excited for Crash to come out. It was the first album I distinctly remember anticipating the release date.

I think it was weirdly an NIN-related side project called 2 a.m. Wakeup Call by Tweaker in 2004 when I was 14. I was heavy into NIN forums and we didn't have shit between 1999 and 2005. I also bought Stankonia and my friend slept over and he really only wanted to listen to Outkast and I was like yeah fair.
1 of 186 in my class in SD. I’m aware of only 2 deceased; one was a month after graduation (suicide) and the second was the main hugely obese guy that ultimately died from pneumonia before age 30.

I saw three trey sit-ins with Dave before I ever saw Phish.
I was listening to Centipede Hz while doing yard work yesterday and I still don’t understand why anyone was disappointed in that album. It’s still great in 2024, top to bottom.

I won a microwave at my senior prom. When I got to college, I had a wonderful single room, and I regretted trading the microwave for a nice Panasonic stereo. And I drove my grandmother's Chevrolet Cavalier to prom, instead of asking my date if we could take her Mercedes, or her brain surgeon father's super nice Mercedes. Two mistakes. It was a very diverse rich kid school, which allowed some of us poor white scholarship kids to hang around, presumably because they needed to fill out the baseball and wrestling teams.

I’m contemplating a great mystery here. For the last couple of months, our internet has been garbage, constantly going out, usually just for a few minutes at a time, but sometimes for up to a half hour or so. This morning, it was particularly bad. I thought I was going to have to go into the office because I didn’t think I was going to be able to sign on for work. So I scheduled a technician to come out this afternoon. Before I went to the office, I tried a few more times to sign in and finally was able to. And then, the internet began working flawlessly. I’ve been able to work steadily for hours without losing the connection. I realize this is a silly thing to say, but it kind of feels like my internet company is just messing with me.

Update: the guy is here now. He said our modem/router and cables inside are all fine, but he can’t even detect an internet connection at the pole. He’s replacing a cable outside and putting in an order for a repair to the pole itself because it’s a disaster up there (I’m paraphrasing second-hand information, so that may not exactly be right). Also, while he was outside checking the pole, one of our neighbors apparently approached him and asked what the hell had been going on with his internet, so it seems that we are not alone in our troubles.

Aerosmith’s Get A Grip. I had the “Livin’ on the Edge” CD single to hold me over, but you can bet your ass I went directly to Camelot Music at the mall right after school on album release day (which used to be on Tuesdays).
