Is it too early to start doing top records of 2007 lists?
anditsdiscontents:
WARNING: Being that I am fucking pov-struck and also lack a fast internet connection most of the time, I didn’t listen to heaps and heaps of whole albums of new music this year. I apologise. Hence, therefore and thusly, I reserve the right to chuck in stuff that wasn’t released this year, making it a stupidly personal ‘top albums’ list. A lot of these are actually 2006 releases that I only got very late last year or early this year and which became a part of my consciousness only this year. One album was released nowhere near this year but HAD to be included, just because. The list is also influenced a bit by who I saw live, and whatever personal crap I was going through and how both those things helped me understand what each album was trying to achieve.
Ahem.
Albums of 2007 that were great
1. The Arcade Fire – Neon Bible
2. Radiohead – In Rainbows
3. Ghosts Of Television – Bi-Gong-Xin and City Of Painless Childbirth (I’ll bunch together these two excellent EPs from a local Sydney band)
4. Future Of The Left – Curses
5. Bloc Party – A Weekend In The City
6. Blueline Medic - 42:19
Albums from 2006 that I only really listened to or loved this year, for various reasons
Brand New – The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me
Envy – Insomniac Doze
The Drones – Gala Mill
The Hold Steady - Boys And Girls In America (only just got it, and something about how very very hetero it is shits and/or depresses me, but damned if it isn't really good)
Honourable mention for being the album I discovered and probably listened to the most this year(?)
Cursive - Domestica

I'm sorry but no amount of excuses can make this album good. It was wretched. Absolutely terrible.

I quite liked Silent Alarm, but I've gotta agree with you, Gene. Disappointment city.

More than happy to. I'll try and do it now; if not I'm pretty tied up all weekend so it might take a few days, but will get on it at some point. Fantastic album.
