Toss up between LCD Soundsystem and the National for me this year, not sure which way I'll wait yet though. Feist and Radiohead are the frontrunners behind them for me too
The Manic's Send Away The Tigers, proper return to what they do best.
Simple.
Overpowered by Roisin Murphy. It's one of the best dance albums in the last few years. Love it.
Neon Bible was another good one. Eh...that's it from 2007 really.
EDIT: What's up with the Arcade Fire video?

Arcade Fire for me. Even better than their first album IMO!
Some really good albums in 2007
Gonna go with :
Frank Turner - Sleep Is For the Weak.
Other great albums that year:
Bruce Springsteen - Magic
Interpol - Our Love To Admire
Delorentos - In Love With Detail
Editors - End Has A Start
Foo Fighters - Echoes,Silence,Patience & Grace
Manic Street Preachers - Send Away The Tigers
Cathy Davey - Tales Of Silversleeve
Kaiser Chiefs - Yours Truly - Angry Mob
At the moment it's a 6 way tie
Voted for Other and my vote goes to:
Raising Sand - Robert Plant and Alison Krauss
Hounorable mentions to Because of the Times - Kings of Leon & Arctic Monkeys - Favourite Worst Nightmare

Yeah Robert Plant and Alison Krauss or Kings of Leon for me.
Just curious but how come Kings or Leon are not in the list and what is the criteria. Just out of interested.
In Trap we trust
I look up Metacritic, Rate Your Music, Mercury Music and that and generally pick 9 of the top rated albums for the year. Kings Of Leon's one was nowhere on those lists and I don't have it myself to query them being left out so they were left out of this list. Vote Other and just say Kings Of Leon get your vote though, it's what the option is there for
gonna have to go with Favourite Worst Nightmare with honourable mentions to Sound Of Silver , Thirst for Romance , Neon Bible , Because of the times and In Rainbows
Other - Kings Of Leon
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
which one is it for finally tallying later on too?
A few good ones this year alright. Arcade Fire, Battles and MIA all had sterling efforts.
MIA's in particular, though it's a real slow burner, takes a lot of getting into. Great choice of track from it too jebus. Am I the only one who still finds the gunshots in it a bit shocking? Maybe 'cos they sound so crisp and up close, and you have the ejector too. Still startles a bit. Probably just me.
Also you had:
Dinosaur Jr - Beyond. Like they were never away, "Almost Ready" from this one (not a vid, sorry).
Justice - +. Closest I could get to a cross! Real hit-and-miss, but the good bits really are rather good indeed. "DANCE" from this one.
Bishi - Nights At The Circus. Only heard of this fairly recently, but it's from 2007, must have been a bit of a push on it in recent times. It is a wonderful thing though. "Never Seen Your Face" from this one, that's the song she played on Jonathan Ross at the weekend.
Maybe with Radiohead and Arctic Monkeys involved Arcade Fire mightn't p!ss away with this one too, but I doubt it.
I, on the other hand, am going for the correct answer, which is LCD Soundsystem.
Someone Great - love this, was an instrumental on their previous album.

more bass
Fair enough, Just seemed strange as the other ones had been in he list but no problem as I was just curious.
Ok and going to vote for Robert Plant and Alison Krauss.
