NEW YORK — This fall is full of questions for the topsy-turvy music world:

Will Guns N' Roses' "Chinese Democracy” finally be released? Can Britney manage a comeback? Will anyone escape the tween typhoon of "High School Musical 3”? Nevertheless, five albums to look for (we think):
•"Death Magnetic,” Metallica: On Sept. 12, Metallica will drop their much-awaited, Rick Rubin-produced new album. Their ninth studio disc — and first in five years — is said to return the band to their speed metal roots.
•"Paper Trail,” T.I.: The Atlanta-based rapper returns with his sixth album, which already boasts a hot single: "Whatever You Like.” It is due out Sept. 30.
•"Black Ice,” AC/DC: It's been eight years since AC/DC made a studio album, and a lot has changed since then. Just look at how the hard rock band is releasing their album on Oct. 20: only through Walmart, Sam's Club and ACDC.com.
•"Dear Science,” TV on the Radio: Not all the hotly anticipated albums are surefire chart-toppers. TV on the Radio's last album, the absurdly named "Return to Cookie Mountain,” topped many critics' best-of lists for 2006.
•"High School Musical 3: Senior Year”: Don't even try to fight it. The latest big-screen installment of this Disney Channel phenomenon will be received with teenybopper hysteria in late October.
