Some of this week's new albums come from artists who release new material like clockwork, and some who only poke out their heads every so often. From sensitive acoustic guitars to wild-eyed, bearded bassists who have had standoffs with SWAT, we're running the gamut.

Cat Stevens reappears with another set.

his new album.
Daniel Lanois - Flesh and Machine
A new full-length album from the famed producer behind huge albums from
