Adele: 25 (XL)
This week Adele will release one of the most highly anticipated albums in recent memory in "25," her first studio album since 2011's "21" and her dalliance with an early retirement from the music industry. "Hello," the first single from "25," is already a massive hit, and she debuted another song, "When We Were Young," during a taping of "60 Minutes Australia."

Check out the buzzed-about video for "Hello" below:

Kurt Cobain: Montage Of Heck: The Home Recordings (Universal)
Kurt Cobain makes his solo album debut more than 20 years after his death with the companion album to "Cobain: Montage Of Heck," the recently released documentary. If you're expecting a lost Nirvana album, you'll be disappointed, as "The Home Recordings" is just that: a collection of raw and rough sonic sketches.

Check out Cobain's demo of what would become the Nirvana tune "Been A Son" below:

Jeff Lynne's ELO: Alone In The Universe (Columbia)
With Electric Light Orchestra, Jeff Lynne churned out slick, orchestrated music, including hits like "Evil Woman," "Do Ya" and "Don't Bring Me Down." Rebranded as Jeff Lynne's ELO, the retooled group is back with "Alone In The Universe," its first album of all new material since 2001's "Zoom."

Have a listen to the new song "One Step At A Time," which boasts the classic ELO sound that has become Lynne's trademark.

Roger Waters: The Wall (Legacy)
"The Wall" has proven to be an album for all seasons for Roger Waters. Following the release of the high-concept Pink Floyd album in 1979, it went on to be reimagined as a partially animated film in 1982. A post-Floyd Waters then trotted it out in 1990 for an all-star live performance in celebration of the fall of the Berlin Wall. He reimagined "The Wall" yet again for a massive, critically acclaimed tour that spanned from 2010 to 2013, and now he's released a concert film and soundtrack based on the tour.

Listen to a dramatic rendition of "Comfortably Numb" from "Roger Waters: The Wall" below:

The Night Before (Sony Pictures Entertainment)
A trio of childhood friends has enjoyed the same tradition every holiday season – an annual Christmas Eve reunion replete with vulgarity, alcohol and drug consumption and a general sense of debauchery. But this year Ethan (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), Isaac (Seth Rogen) and Chris (Anthony Mackie) raise the stakes: the three friends embark on a quest to find the Nutcracka Ball – the greatest and filthiest Christmas party known to man.

Secret in Their Eyes (Gran Via Productions)
Claire, Ray and Jess comprise a team of investigators on the rise thanks to recent efforts in the field. But the group's rapid ascent is halted and their allegiance torn asunder when it's discovered that Jess' teen daughter has been brutally murdered. After 13 years of heart-rending angst and fruitless searching, Ray uncovers a lead he believes can finally lead the group to the answers they've been seeking. Only, the answers uncover a truth no one wanted.

Carol (Number 9 Films)
This adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's novel "The Price of Salt" centers on a forbidden romance that, through the unlikeliest of circumstances, blooms in 1950s New York. Therese Belivet (Rooney Mara), a 20-something working as a clerk in a Manhattan department store, finds herself dreaming of more. Carol (Cate Blanchett) is a beautiful woman trapped in a marriage of convenience and desperate to again feel the love which has so swiftly departed her life. The two from an immediate bond that, with time, deepens, bringing them both great joy and the undeniable sadness of a love not accepted by the world in which they live.
