Album of the year

Why end topic? Why not just….keep it going?

You're ruining the end!

Shit, so am I

[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_in_music#Albums_to_be_released]Here's a reminder of what came out…[/url]

The Hives – The Black & White Album
Saves The Day – Under The Boards
Dinosaur JR. – Beyond
Aggrolites – Reggae Hit LA

Technicality to Andrew WK's "Close Calls With Brick Walls" as it came out on vinyl only over here, but is out on CD on the other end of the planet. But it's pretty damn good.

Other good albums (but not their best) go to Mad Caddies and White Stripes. Both fantastic, but not my personal favorites. Streetlight, Pietasters, Jimmy Eat World, Big D, RBF and Say Anything put out some pretty good ones this year, too.

Disappointment of the year goes to Ted Leo. I know he can do better. Also throw in a vote for Modest Mouse.

That's all I can specifically remember right now.

Actually, I'm curious to see what I missed this year, if anyone has any other choices.

the mad caddies album sucked.

my vote goes to the world/inferno friendship society – addicted to bad ideas

Keep It Going was a good listen, but I certainly wouldn't call it album of the year.

thread over, by the way.

Animal Collective-Strawberry Jam
Ezra Furman & the Harpoons-Banging Down the Doors
Polyphonic Spree-The Fragile Army
Radiohead-In Rainbows
Streetlight

I don't buy enough new CD's for my opinion to really count…

…White Stripes…

oh shit…

that "icky thump" song sounds like mc pee pants, and that terrible noise that's supposed to pass as a solo sounds like they're trying to sound like rage… if rage sucked.the white stripes started out strong, "the white stripes" and "de stijl" were great. "red blood cells" was good, "elephant" and "get behind me satan" were ok at best, and now "icky thump" is just a slap in our faces. they pawn off shitty music as being experimental. it's my theory that jack white is pushing bad music as far as he can, just to see if people will still herald any terd he forces out as absolute genius, and my guess is people will eat up every piece of shit he comes out with.

^^^ Probably the best album review I've read all year.

And I couldn't agree more.

The first album is extremely overrated, though. White Blood Cells was their best and their first remains their worst. The new album was successful in them FINALLY changing the sound a bit. Their single and Radiohead's Bodysnatchers (or whatever it's called) song are the only singles played on mainstream radio this past year that were any good.

^YES

Streetlight definately had some great songs on their new album. RBF has some good hits. But I don't know if I would call them album of the year.

Caddies always put out music that I love, so I would give it to them. There new album was great.

Also, I know you guys will probably rip on me for this, but I like the new Paramore cd, "RIOT!". Hayley just has a great voice, and the guitar riffs are pretty cool. However, they always play better acoustic.

WARNING: I have never heard any songs by Paramore in my life.

Statement: I heard Paramore sound like Avril Lavigne?

Album of the year: Zolof The Rock And Roll Destroyer – Schematics

EP of the year: The Rentals – Last Little Life

Avril? Nah, I heard Paramore sounds like shit… oh wait… 🙂 Yeah, I heard they sound like Avril too.

Oooh, burnage!

I have not heard that Rentals ep yet, thanks for reminding me.

paramore is overrated, and i hate having to listen to them when i go places with my friends… they all like them. ghey.

I forgot one

Ozma – Pasadena

Seriously, fucking awesome album and easily their best.
