Fresh spins on Spring

There’s plenty of good news in the annual musical thaw. Long-awaited discs from everyone from Nine Inch Nails, Garbage and Stevie Wonder join fairly quick follow-ups from the likes of 50 Cent and Kanye West. So clear out some room on your iPod or disc changer. And, as always, remember that release dates are like carry-on luggage: They tend to shift during flight, so open the overhead compartment carefully and be patient.

• Mariah Carey The Emancipation of Mimi – Crazy diva alert! Snoop Dogg, Nelly and Jermaine Dupri head the list of guests who are helping Ms. Carey (whom close friends allegedly call Mimi, if you were wondering about the title) on her new disc. [More info on Mariah Carey here]
• Garbage Bleed Like Me – Bad news: Drummer/studio mastermind Butch Vig quit the band. Good news: He rejoined four months later, resurrecting the 11 tracks and giving up his spot behind the drums for one track to allow Dave Grohl to bash away.
• Mudvayne Lost and Found – Mudvayne ditches its makeup – ’cause that move worked so well for Kiss.
