This Is Next Year is a compilation album released July 17, 2001, by Arena Rock Recording Co.

Interpol, The Walkmen, and French Kicks all released debut albums within a year of This Is Next Year's release.[3] Contributing artists were largely from neighborhoods near to the bridges between Brooklyn and Manhattan.[4]

According to Time Out, who interviewed several contributors and the owner of Arena Rock, the album was evidence of a "musical renaissance" Brooklyn had been experiencing since the late 1990s.[5]
