Album Of The Year

[Shortcut To Moncton]

Sort of.

 

Also Tomahawk just MEH?

it sounded like a fantomas album to me more than anything. i wanted something along the lines of mit gas--not filler.

I actually really didn't like In Our Bedroom After the War... I saw the Stars live at the Commodore like 2 months back 'cause my girlfriend kinda likes them, and ever since I haven't been able to listen to them. I know the album has this whole bedroom theme but it makes it boring. Even Amy Millan herself has said that she isn't good at writing music. I couldn't put this anywhere near top album.

I gotta say the new Arcade Fire does it for me. Just brilliant. Hospital Music is a tight second though.

I loved In Our Bedroom After the War (with the exception of The Ghost Of Genova Heights- that song can suck my balls).

haha yeah that song is questionable. i left that cd playing in the car one day and my brother said to me "i didn't know you listened to maroon 5?". i'm not sure what were the motivation in the vocals of that song but the rest of the album owns.

 

 

wow, i didn't know Take Me To The Riot was #3 on the Edge's Thursday 30...damn straight.

After reading 11 pages of so called "albums of the year" I think i will add a new perspective to the list.

 

1. Anberlin - Cities (the absolute best album this year, emotionally charged rock from the best band you don't listen to yet but soon will because they landed a record deal with Universal Republic because of this CD)

 

2. Evans Blue - The Pursuit Begins When This Portrayal Of Life Ends (the only hard rock band that credits Matthew Good as one of their main song writing influences)

 

3. Matthew Good - Hospital Music (many people say this album is forgettable but everytime you put it on you remember why it was one of the most important albums of the year, hope it wins a juno)

Huh... since I didn't put my input in, I'll have to say:

 

Hospital Music-Matthew Good

We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank (Spitting Venom is awesome)-Modest Mouse

 

The new Foo Fighters and White Stripes albums were pretty good.

 

Smashing Pumpkins album blew so badly... So badly... The only good song on it was Doomsday Clock.

[Manchalivin]

I haven't had a truly good album that has clicked overall for me in 2007 really. The closest I'd say is Hospital Music and it gets my vote even if quite a bit of it is because of how much Matt put into it.

[LonelyWreckage]

I also vote Modest Mouse.

[Some Random]

now that i've heard that album, i also have to include modest mouse. '07 didn't turn out so bad for albums.

anberlin sucks,

 

bunch of amateur emo's

[Shiri]

In my opinion, 2007 was a pretty good year music-wise.

[MissEmily]

I made my own little list just after New Year's, and it was as follows:

 

1) Hospital Music (by ten country miles)

2) The Hunter's Lullaby - Raine Maida

3) Ashtray Rock - Joel Plaskett Emergency

4) Situation - Buck 65

5) Sprit If... - Kevin Drew

are there ever bad years for music?

[Shiri]

Sometimes nothing really move me, this year I was particulary moved. It's totally a personal thing though.
