[culvers]

Think Radiohead are releasing a UK retail version shortly after christmas.

 

[Djmiles]

Hard-Fi - Once upon a time in the west

[Simster]

All excellent albums

Radiohead: In Rainbows
Klaxons: Myths of the Near Future
Kings of Leon: Because of the Times
Arctic Monkeys: Favourite Worst Nightmare

The Klaxons one or "Ten New Messages" by The Rakes for me. Both excellent.

 

[Frutos]

None Of The Above would get my vote.

 

[Monkster]

None Of The Above would get my vote.

Yep.

Hard-Fi - Once upon a time in the west

End of discussion

I found out today that I actually dislike people that like Hard-Fi. We've got a new member of staff here and they mentioned they were off to see Hard-Fi on Monday. I haven't spoken to her since and will be taking everything she says in the near future with a pinch of salt.

The best album of 2007 is Cross by Justice or, at a push, Hey Venus! by the Super Furries (though it's not their best). I would also include Playtime is Over by Wiley purely for the production values.

 

[Pevenseagull]

good year for ladies

Charlotte Hatherley, Feist, Siouxsie Sioux & PJ Harvey all quality

other highlights

Broken Social Scene Presents Kevin Drew - "Spirit If.."
Grinderman - Grinderman
Go Team - Proof Of Youth
Iron & Wine - The Shepherd's Dog
Robert Plant & Alison Krauss - Raising Sand
Dillinger Escape Plan - Ire Works
Robert Pollard's two albums would have made one excellent album if he could edit his releases a bit more - but he can't


However, there can only be one winner and the overall Pevenseagul Album of the year goes to .............




drum roll

Soulsavers -"It's Not How Far You Fall, It's The Way You Land" which is f***ing magnificent


I've had the pleasure of previews of the upcoming Bob Mould, Drive By Truckers & British Sea Power albums and can happily report that 2008 is going to get off to a flyer

I found out today that I actually dislike people that like Hard-Fi.

with good reason, sir. it's a policy that will serve you well.

 

[MattBackHome]

In Rainbows, I reckon.

Honorable mentions to The Enemy, Dizzee Rascal, Wu Tang, Paramore, Kate Nash, JayZ, Manu Chao, Reverend + Makers.

(and I really like Newton Faulkner as well, despite knowing that it makes me a GAYBO)

Personal favourite of the year has to be

Hats off to the Buskers - The View

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Bored of indie. Bored of Radiohead. Bored of glowsticks.

Foo Fighters - Echoes Silence Patience Grace is amazing

 

[challengechappers]

mine would have to be:

1st- Spoon - Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga
2nd- Patrick Watson - Close To Paradise
3rd- The Good The Bad The Queen - self titled
4th - Interpol - Love To Admire (a bit hit and miss though)

(Re: Soulsavers. I caught them live at Latitude and i was bored stiff. A massive disappointment as i'm a fan of Mark Lanegan).

I think Our Earthly Pleasures was release in 2006 wasn't it? Might be wrong.
