Album of the year so far?

[Braders]

i want the white stripes album .... that'll be the next i buy


at the moment its gotta be the Foo Fighters new one , amazing

 

[CP 0 3 BHA]

Gotta be Arcade Fire. Caught me unawares. Excellent stuff all the way through.

I really ought to buy it. U2 used "Wake Up" as their coming on stage track on the Vertigo and it sounded fantastic.

Kaiser Chiefs is good - though some patchy songs once you get past the excellent openers.

I can't get excited by Coldplay's X&Y - lush but kind of heard it all before.

Looking forward to the new Franz Ferdinand album in a couple of months.

 

[NMH]

Deadwing by Porcupine Tree for me I think, after the second track it's all classic progressive stuff, and they rule.

TSOOL latest runs second.

Last year it was 'I AM KLOOT' (nothing like these two above) which was consistently excellent.

 

[CHAPPERS]

The answer you're all looking for is actually Love Kraft - Super Furry Animals.

You just don't know it yet.

FACT.

Listen to this man, him speaks in FACT.

Album of the year that has actually been released is by the Magic Numbers. It's called 'The Magic Numbers'.

Buy eet.

 

[Albion Edd]

My favourite albums are;
Maximo Park - A certain trigger
Brakes - Give blood
The Cribs - the new fellas
Oasis - don't believe the truth

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Brassbound - The Ordinary Boys
Back Room - Editors

 

[Brixtaan]

I dont get The Kaiser Chiefs at all. 3 decent tracks on the album and the rest is very average.

I thought it was good for the first 7 songs (excellent for6) then it tails off until 'Caroline,yes' which steals the show and has the Smiths feel of misery to it.

Any album which has 6 immediate top tunes has to be good.

 

[Mr Blobby]

Out of the ones I have bought this year Funeral by Arcade Fire is my most played CD. X&Y by Coldplay is superb. Truth and Lies by the Levellers is also top notch.

Best live act is still U2 and best support to them was The Killers in Cardiff and The Thrills in Brussels. Ash and Snow Patrol were pretty good as well.

[Dave the OAP]

Michael Buble - Its Time

superb album

 

[The Laughing Bluebird]

Queens of the Stone Age - Lullabies to Paralyze.

By a distance.

 

[Meade's Ball]

Queens of the Stone Age - Lullabies to Paralyze.

By a distance.

Their Somerset House gig was cancelled on July 7th for obvious reasons. Now they're re-scheduling for end of August, when i'll be out of the country.
Bah.

 

[Deano's Right Foot]

Josh Rouse - Nashville. And he was great at the Concorde 2.

This man knows...and soon you all shall know also.

Cracking new album.

 

[Wilka]

It's not out yet but there is a singer song writer from Lewes called David Ford who's album 'I Sincerely Apologise For All The Trouble I’ve Caused' is out on September. He used to be the singing of Easyworld is you have heard of them?

It was ment to be on Fierce panda but a major lable has just brought the album rights.

Check out the video on his site David Ford for single state of the union. It's how he plays his stuff live with all the loops.
