That's a tough question for me. I mean last year so much great stuff came out but this year I'm finding it harder to make a list. If I had to choose...

  • Silent Treatment-The Bled
  • The Alchemy Index Vol I & II-Thrice
  • Broadcasting...-Comeback Kid

I think the Kings Of Leons new album is great. I've always had a soft spot for them, even though they get panned by some critics, but they are one of the best bands around at the moment.

There hasn't been an album released this year that I really cared about except for...

Nine Inch Nails - Year Zero

I was excited for Puscifer's first album but it was a huge let down...Maynard's inner demons seem to be concerned only with sex...

I honestly don't know. There really hasn't been anything that good this year.

Probably Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace by Foo Fighters, but only because I'm really reaching here.

M.I.A. - 'Kala', though 2007 has been pretty dissapointing compared to 2006 for me ... What a surprise year zero is so popular on a video games forum!

I'm not hating by the way, I actually saw NIN twice this year, first time they were awesome, second time they were pretty poor. Not sure whats up with that.

The best album of the year is the soundtrack to the Bob Dylan biopic, I'm Not There by various artists.

it's are to evaluate a cover album against others so my top picks of the year so far are (the actual ordering can easily vary):

  1. Panda Bear - Person Pitch
  2. M.I.A. - Kala
  3. Radiohead - In Rainbows
  4. The Night watchman - One Man Revolution
  5. Spoon - Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga
  6. Feist - The Reminder
  7. Dinosaur Jr - Beyond
  8. The Arcade Fire - Neon Bible
  9. Kanye West - Graduation
  10. Bruce Sprinsgteen - Magic

There is something about that album that I just don't like... I love what Animal Collective does but after Person Pitch, I had such high expectations that it just didn't meet them. For Reverend Green is awesome but other than that, I just didn't dig it. :( I tried listening again today and it was better than my original impression I got from my first listen through it.

Machine Head? I don't really listen to much metal anymore but I've heard really good things. Think I might pick it up. I still listen to Burn My Eyes when I'm in the mood.

Person Pitch was a solo album by Panda Bear.

But you are right, it definitely isn't Animal Collective's strongest album.

Between the 4 or 5 albums I got, I'd have to say it's a tie between Unia - Sonata Arctica and Dark Passion Play - Nightwish.

yea I know it was solo so I was thinking if "Panda Bear can do that on his own, Strawberry Jam is going to be amazing!"
