Oh snaps, I forgot about Asobi Seksu. I bought it randomly used and loved it (I was attracted by the weird case).
As for your list, do you write for Pitchfork by any chance?

As far as be your own PET is concerned I think that is a wonderful album. Musically it is genius, my only real problem with it is some of Jemina's lyrics... otherwise a great album.

I actually love the lyrics. She isn't old enough yet to write about anything especially deep or introspective (and witness the disaster of other 18-year-olds who have tried) so she sings about bicycles and going on adventures. Its fucking perfect.
This thread is reminding me of all the albums I planned on getting when I initially heard about them.
Going back to the band I mentioned in my first post, Oneida... everyone should go seek out an mp3 of "Up With the People" off their new album. Maybe the best song I've heard this year.
Scytale:
I haven't really bought much this year:
1. Summoning - Oath Bound
2. Ihsahn - The Advesary
3. Drudkh - Blood in our Wells
4. Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime II
5. Samael - Era One/Lessons in Magic
Summoning, stands heads and shoulders above the rest so far, their best album since Stronghold imo.
Also looking forward to new Maiden and Mars Volta.
Valrus:
--- Quote from: Skittish ---I'm surprised it took this long for someone to say Gnarls Barkley.
--- End quote ---
I was surprised by that as well.
I don't usually run out and get albums as soon as they're released so I haven't heard a whole lot from 2006, but here's what I got:
1. Gnarls Barkley - St. Elsewhere
2. The Fiery Furnaces - Bitter Tea
3. Islands - Return to the Sea
4. Thom Yorke - The Eraser
Jury's still out on Matt Friedberger's Winter Women/Holy Ghost Language School and I just downloaded Neko Case's Fox Confessor Brings the Flood.
Microfoot:
Today I bought
Soul Asylum - The Silver Lining
Say Hi To Your Mom - Impeccable Blahs
