They say what about the meek?
I say they’ve got a bloody cheek
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.
Also got to meet them all (except Dave McClain the drummer) afterwards, was sweet

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.

'Fascists dress in black and go round telling people what to do, where as priests.....'
I really like their sound but the album really dies in the middle and end. Atlas and Tonto are quality but dont think they reach those highs after that.
<insert witty remark>
Came home after the pub one night a few weeks back and turned on MTV2 (or one of the music channels, can't remember which one) and "The Wrath of Marcie" by The Go! Team was playing. In my alcohol addled state I thought it was excellent, so I went online and downloaded the album it's from, Proof of Youth.
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.
more bass
Maximo Park - Our Earthly Pleasures i reckon is worth a mention.
'Fascists dress in black and go round telling people what to do, where as priests.....'
"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.
Was he crazy!! Yeah , in a very special way , an Irishman.
I slept, and dreamed that life was Beauty;
I woke, and found that life was Duty.
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...
"Well I think they'll be a little disappointed with that" - Matt Holland on TV3 after 5-2 drubbing by Cyprus
The Eagles new one ain't too bad either.
I like your taste. My four favourites right there.
Six. Los Campesinos were definitely my breakthrough band of 2007. They are playing The Village on February 11th - I'd highly recommend it. I seen them in Whelans a few months ago and they were excellent!
Heh, can someone help me here. I read a while back on a few critics reviews of 2007 who mentioned that a good album of the year was some Icelandic bands album. Would anybody here have any idea what they are were called?
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.
