Belle & Sebastian - The Life Pursuit.

If it is to be bettered this year then, hopefully , it will be by Morrissey's new one. Although it'll take a lot to beat it.

Josh Ritter's The Animal Years is a great album.

The year is only 3 months old though

Not sure about this, but I think that's the ONLY album I've heard from this year so far. So, yeah, it's the best of the year so far. But, emm... also the worst.

Was the Strokes album only released in 06? I thought it came out at the end of 05.

Thanks to Kowalski, I heard snippets from Soulwax' new album. And it sounds de-lic-ious.

Embrace - "This new day"... not quite as good as Out of Nothing but impressive none the less...
Number 1 in the british album charts this week...

this liar's record 'drum's not dead' is good, not for the majority of tastes on this board however :)

Just recently heard the earlier one (They Lied So We Drowned). Not bad. A bit patchy, but the good stuff is really good.

ah cool i've read as much about that album, their 2nd i think? i don't know them but for this third album so i've only read that they moved away from the dancepunk(?) sounds of the first album to gradually deeper darker waters. you'd have to commend them at least for that coz it seems like they could've played it safe. this 3rd one at times sounds doomed, bleak, chilling, in other words a great fit for our time and space!

I don't know about the 'dance-punk' label. It's just sort of unsettling and experimental. Not unlike something The Birthday Party would have done. I checked out the album you mentioned online, and it is quite different. There's definitely more of a guitar presence on "They Lied..."

bizarre coincidence: 1st time exposure to two different bands in that i just listened to most of cave's 'murder ballads' the same day i listened to that 3rd liars lp. yeah labels are pigeon-holing nonsense a lot of the time, and i've yet to hear anything else by liars, just what i read about the first one (dancepunk description by one reviewer). a friend said the liars latest is like animal collective's 'here comes the indian' played by radiohead which seems a bullseye to me

Ah, murder balllads... Now that's an album.

Check out Let Love In and Henry's Dream if you like that one.

Picked up the Kooks debut album there last week and so far I've been more than impressed, very tight sound. Also the new one from Nightmares on Wax is pretty cool. Along with others Clap Your Hands Say Yeah brings a smile to my face and Belle & Sebastians one is as good if not better than what's been before. With The Streets & Dirty Pretty Things to come I think it's been a good year so far.

Can anyone fill me on the Delays new album as I keep going to buy it only to put it down when something else catches my eye.
