It was a hell of a lot better then the new 'Babyshambles' album...

Care to explain exactly why you bought that?

Jay:
I can't believe no one has mentioned Spoon's Gimme Fiction -- one of the best albums I've ever heard.

I'd nominate Funeral and Blinking Lights as well  -- plus, unlike many of my musical peers, I really liked 'Get Behind Me Satan' too. Yeah, the album really could have used more polish but it's still one of the catchiest albums I've heard this year.

Johnny C:
Funeral was last year; it topped like every "best of" list.

Gimme Fiction, though - good call. This has been a pretty good year for tunes.

Actually, I thought that was the only remarkable thing about the album - the fact that it was not overproduced. I like albums with no production. If it sounds raw, it's good. And this album at least tried to emulate that sound.

And The Holy Shroud are getting better every time I listen to them. This might just end up as the best album of the year on my list.
But then again, I have also yet to listen The Locust's new album as well, so we'll see...

Micolithe:
I didn't like Gimme Fiction as much as Spoon's other stuff. Girls Can Tell is undoubtedly their best work.

And I still think that Pixel Revolt by John Vanderslice is the album of the year.
