What are your favorite albums of 2007 (so far?)

[Timber Maniac]

Well, we are at the halfway point (well, close enough) so I suppose I should bring this up.

My list in no real order:

Menomena - Friend and Foe


http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/41Qf9mAlPiL._AA240_.jpg

Andrew Bird - Armchair Apocrypha

Radical Face - Ghost

Feist - The Reminder


http://basiabulat.com/basiabandbio.jpg

Basia Bulat - Oh My Darling. No US release yet, but I have her album online: it is divine. She is the one in the front ICYCT.

I am also looking forward to buying stuff from St. Vincent (no idea if her music is available stateside yet either), Okkervil River, and Sea and Cake.

What about you?(!?!?)

[kikimm]

Probably just Chevelle's Vena Sera and Nine Inch Nail's Year Zero. I think those are the only two cds I've bought this year that came out this year, too. So there you go. :D

[Elly]

so far it's 'Nine Inch Nails - Year Zero' and 'Marilyn Manson - Eat Me, Drink Me'...

[charliepanayi]

*thinks* In no real order, except maybe Modest Mouse at No.1 at the moment:

Modest Mouse - We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank
Bjork - Volta
LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver
Yndi Halda - Enjoy Eternal Bliss
Low - Drums and Guns
Do Make Say Think - You, You're a History in Rust
Battles - Mirrored

[Venom]

Megadeths United Abominations and Static-X's Cannibal are my favorite albums from 2007.:)

[Ryth]

Viides Luku - Hävitetty by Moonsorrow (best so far this year)
All Of A Sudden, I Miss Everyone by Explosions In The Sky
Snakes And Arrows by Rush
Systematic Chaos by Dream Theater

I have a couple 2007 albums sitting around I haven't arsed to listen to yet.

[Bloodline666]

My favorite two for 07 so far are Machine Head - The Blackening and Megadeth - United Abominations. In fact, those are the only two albums I have that were released this year.

Explosions in the Sky - All of a Sudden, I miss everyone

Do Make Say Think - You, You're a History in Rust

I expect I'll probably add Sigh's new album to that list once I can be arsed to get it. A few others that might show up there as well, but that's it for now.

I agree with this man and Ryth.

[ZeZipster]

Hot Cross - Risk Revival

[DK]

Viides Luku - Hävitetty by Moonsorrow (best so far this year)

Would have been my best of the year so far also if it wasn't for me getting obsessed with the Dälek album.

[Mythra]

In no real order:
Moonsorrow: Viides Luku - Havitetty
Dream Theater: Systematic Chaos
Machine Head: The Blackening
Megadeth: United Abominations
Linkin Park: Minutes to Midnight
Dark Tranquillity: Fiction (pretty sure this came out this year)
Paradise Lost: In Requiem

[Ryth]

Viides Luku - Hävitetty by Moonsorrow (best so far this year)

Would have been my best of the year so far also if it wasn't for me getting obsessed with the Dälek album.

I see, I've been meaning to check Dälek out for a while now, I suppose I should get around to that as soon as I can be arsed.

You seem to only be looking at the mainstream! If thats the case I would agree too.


To stay on topic, here is my complete ranking of everything I've heard this year: 2007 - Rate Your Music (http://rateyourmusic.com/list/Ryth/2007)

Still need to listen to a few albums, but its generally complete.

[tootncartman]

Lyden Na-Blood Duster
Year Zero-Nine Inch Nails

[charliepanayi]

There is far more to music than what you see on the surface and in the charts. Music IS great at the moment, you just have to make some effort to find it.
