Albums of the Year
JLM:
Top 3 in order:
Silver Screen - The Greatest Story Never Told (Hands Down)
Boom Bip - Blue Eyed In The Red Room
The American Analog Set - Set Free
New BSS is good, but doesn't really deserve to be on a best of list, unless it's been an UNBELIEVABLY lackluster year. Right now, it's just a sort of lackluster year.

ANIMAL COLLECTIVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
seriously, this album is perfect!
captainawesome:
Sufjan Stevens - Illinois is going to be the top of my list, no question.
I'm currently on my second listen of the BSS album, and it's good, but I'm not hearing anything special. Also, there is a lot of "heeeyy, didn't i hear that on the last album?!" going on.
others include:
Decemberists - Picaresque
Boy Least Likely To - The Best Party EVER
Praeserpium Machinarum:
--- Quote ---I'm really excited about this album. Probably the first album I've been excited about this year come to think of it. I generally love it when bands sing in keys like Jonas does anyway, but Mew have a REALLY good sound to back it up. The lyrics are a bit wishwash in places, granted, but Comforting Sounds has some of my favourite lyrics ever. Hope this album makes them big outside Denmark, as only a few people in the UK seem to know about them. (from their tour supporting Gretch mostly)

Well judging from the new single Special, it doesn't look that promising, maybe I just miss their happy-go-lightly pop days, I Should Have Been A Tsin Tsi, Mica, Saliva etc. They had better lyrics then, or at least less pretentious. The whole hardrock transformation on Frengers appealed to me at first, but it wore off after some time, it sort of jars when listened to many times.

Winner!
I'm excited for the new BSS album, though. Terribly excited.
