Any more metal lads?
A good one that I don't think has been mentioned yet -
Hey Venus! - Super Furry Animals.
A compilation and reissue by Cork's finest, Cathal Coughlan, would be up there too-
Daunt Square To Elsewhere - Microdisney
Viva Dead Ponies - The Fatima Mansions
I was at the Ambassador show a couple of weeks back, cracking show, also saw them in Donington in June and they put on a hell of a show there too, probably the band I enjoyed most at it. But the intimacy of the Ambassdor just made for an amazing show. I think that was the Glasgow Carling Academy they played yeah? very similar place to the Ambassador, I was there as well last March.Quote:

The Guardian's best albums of the year: http://music.guardian.co.uk/reviews/...223431,00.html
PJ Harvey?? Britney Spears??
Stereophonics 'Pull The Pin' made the Q Top 50 albums of the year. If a very very average album like that can make the top 50, its been a bad year for music. Nine Inch Nails 'Year Zero' I felt gets an honourable mention...thought Ash 'Twilight of the Innocents' was their best effort yet too.Quote:

It's very hard to describe, because nothing out there at the moment sounds quite like it. If you've ever heard Japanese synth-pop, it's something like that, with hip-hop beats.
I honestly didn't know what to make of it the first time I listened to it, but it's really growing on me. If you're looking for something different to check out, I'd definitely recommend giving it a spin.
arcade fire - neon bible
battles - mirrored
broken social scene presents kevin drew - spirit if
go team - proof of youth
radiohead - in rainbows
LCD soundsystem - sound Of silver
based on forums recommendation here i went out and got the LCD soundsystem album , hope its good!
It is.
Album of the year for me anyway.
Maximo Park - Our Earthly Pleasures i reckon is worth a mention.
"The hold steady" boys and girls in america was by far the best album i heard this year . but maybe it was from last year ?
Also "the national" "the good the bad and the queen" "the view" "the fratellis"
but the hold steady beats the pants off all others , every song a gem.
Don't know if this one was mentioned already but got "The Shepherd's Dog" by Iron and Wine a couple of months back and must say its an absolute grower....definitely one of my favourite's for the year...
The Eagles new one ain't too bad either.
I like your taste. My four favourites right there.Quote:

Sigur Ros is the band and "heima" is the only album they released in 2007 as far as i know and i think it's a compliation but i'm not too sure.
