Your top 10 albums of 2007?

[RandomEvent]

I'm very curious as to what types of music fellow TBers are listening to these days, and since it's almost the end of 2007, I figured I might as well ask. Worst that could happen is that my topic gets deleted for being stupid. Anyway, let's see what your 10 favorite albums released this year are. Feel free to just list, or give a little explanation as to why you like the albums if you like.

I know some people here probably don't like much music today, but I'm sure quite a few of you here are like myself, getting into new music all the time.

1) Coheed & Cambria - Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV Volume Two: No World For Tomorrow
2) Rosetta - Wake/Lift
3) Between The Buried And Me - Colors
4) Immanu El - They'll Come They Come
5) Kayne West -Graduation
6) Holy ****! - LP
7) The Dear Hunter - Act II The Meaning Of, And All Things Regarding Ms. Leading
8) The Chariot - The Fiancee
9) Kidcrash - Jokes
10) The Ocean - Precambrian

2. Nile - Ithyphallic
3. Nine Inch Nails - Year Zero
4. Om - Pilgrimage
5. Heaven & Hell - Live from Radio City

incidentally the only 5 albums i bought all year that were new 2006 was a lot better year for music >

[Baryonyx]

Apart from "Snakes and Arrows" by Rush and the "Art Metal Trio" record by Jonas Hellborg, I can't think of much that has come out this year!

[charliet]

1] Between the Buried and Me- Colors
2] The Dillinger Escape Plan - Ire Works
3]Modest Mouse - We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank
4]The Black Dahlia Murder - Nocturnal
5]Grayskul - Bloody Radio

[xlows]

Snakes And Arrows by Rush & Super Taranta by Gogol Bordello are the only ones I even remember.

[wdinc01]

Coheed and Cambria's new album is really the only thing I was looking forward to. I don't listen to many artists that are out in this day and age, and those I do I don't follow enough to get their album when it releases.

Actually, my list would be this:
1. Coheed and Cambria - Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume II: No World For Tomorrow
2. The Julius Airwave - The City the Forest
3. They Might Be Giants - The Else

So yeah, I have to include a local band, who's CD I picked up at the release party. And They Might Be Giants is always good, I just didn't like the CD as much as some of their other works.

[markjazzbassist]

Radiohead - In Rainbows
Rilo Kiley - Under The Blacklight
Amp Fiddler - Afro Strut
Richard Hawley - Lady's Bridge
Travis - The Boy With No Name
Air - Pocket Symphony

[StanFan]

Some of my favorites off the top of my head:

Rush-Snakes and Arrows
Dillinger Escape Plan- Ire Works
Behold...The Arctopus- Skullgrid
Porcupine Tree- Fear Of A Black Planet

First rap album on my iPod ever. I really liked it.

[Chebass88]

1. Chuck Brown - About the Business (Track 4 has a GREAT version of "Liberty City" - they have another bass player playing an R&B line under the solo - cool stuff)

2. Jill Scott's album

Unfortunately, all of the albums I've purchased this year have been used, or released prior to this year.

[Deluge Of Sound]

Queens Of The Stone Age-Era Vulgaris
OM-Pilgrimage
Radiohead-In Rainbows
Rustic Overtones-Light At The End
High On Fire-Death Is This Communion.
Conifer/Ocean - Building State Empire/Durance Vile split.

I'm sure there are others I've forgotten about, but those six spring to mind right away.

edit: I knew it! I forgot The Conifer/Ocean split.

[timzrage]

The Blackening - - Machine Head (in my opinion the very best metal album of the year!!!)

Snakes and Arrows - - Rush

Year Zero - - NIN

Internal Revolution - - Diecast (just played with them Sunday!!!)

III In The Eyes of Fire - - Uneath

Underoath

Not much else I can think of.

[RandomEvent]

Lots of good music here. I've heard most of these releases, but mark, did you really like the new Rilo Kiley? I thought it was one of the biggest letdowns this year. That and the new Shins, anyway. Now that I'm looking, Deluge of Sound, I was pretty dissapointed in the new OM too. I only listened to it 3 times though. So it might come around and make me a fan later.

[B.C.]

I don't have a top ten but I think Radiohead's In Rainbows is the top for me.

[gkbass13]

dont have ten.


i was glad ot see the rustic overtones put out another album

if "neon bible" form the arcade fire was this year, then it definitely is the top for me

i also dug pharoah monches new album, kanye's new album some new radiohead stuff and tv on the radio....although i think that was form last year.

[gkbass13]

ooooh, i also really like eddie vedder's solo soundtrack to "into the wild". very cool stuff.

[Metropolis_488]

Since 10,000 Days was released, nothing of any real interest has come out....

...well snakes and arrows was a nice effort, but it really is just a novelty for us Rush fans that they continue to put out albums. It's not like they are putting out stuff like Hemispheres anymore.

A few people mentioned Coheed and Cambria...what's the deal there? The little I heard seemed blah...what am I missing?

[RandomEvent]

I like Coheed's pop oriented rock, basically. I have fairly diversified tastes, and usually when I talk to people about my favorite albums this year, they also ask what I see in Coheed and Cambria. It's entertained me and been played in my iPod more than any other album this year basically. Catchy, simple prog rock with pop sensibility = win.
