my number 1 for the whole year, this a great follow-up to 2004's Futures. They co-produced this album with Butch Vig (nirvana producer and garbage drummer)and went back to their Bleed American sound, the vocals in this album masterfully pulled off by Jim Adkins. the titled track is amazing.
very different from Silent Alarm in my opinion, the music goes very way with the title, i can just picture myself at 3am on my way home listening to Waiting For The 7.18 or On or Sunday. pretty pretty good stuff.
getting out of rocknroll for a lil sec here, Calle 13's sophomore album amazed me, many ppl expected them to keep goin with the reggaeton sound, but they went a whole different direction. this album contains latin hip hop at its total best. Residente is a great lyricist. they had a bad ass show in DR this year too.
its been a long time, and i truly mean A LONG TIME! since ive enjoyed an entire merengue album. Juan Luis never dissapoints in this record, he had me worried with his christian album (not cuz its christian, because i felt it was too easy for him). Como Yo is a classic merengue track a cant get enough of and A La Vera is him at his best. also winner of a shit load of latin grammys.
kanye kanye kanye jejejejjeje, contrversial??? always! this album is truly a graduation album, here u can see him take his place in the hip hop kingdom, jay look out! :p Good Morning is amazing.
robi always amazes me, in my opinion its his best work yet. Te Fumare and Roto Por Ti are jewels in this record.
jajajaj the pay what u want for it record! radiohead shocked the industry this year by doing what they did. musically, its no OK Computer, but its a great album. these guys have been in a league of their own for a long time. House Of Cards is a track that takes me places....
i have always admired Thrice for not being afraid to step out of the box, The Alchemy Index is a good example of that. fire didnt bust my bubble that much(although the messenger is the shizzy :p) but water is beautiful, the whaler just gives u that moody feeling of letting go. cant wait for sparing for vols. 3 and 4.
punk in 2007 wasnt so bright, this record is the treasure in the trash can. strung is at its best ion songs like Party in the Hills, All The Nations and War Called Home. Jason Cruz is one of the best frontmen ive seen.
Nick Thomas and the spill canvas deliver in a very good way in their major label debut. a lotta good rock moments in this record, keep a look out for these guys.
i saw the cover and thought dark side of the moon?? jejeej pretty good effort by Dillinger in this record and a good follow up to miss machine. Black Bubblegum is the new metal party song.
miss leslie feist. what a talented woman. what a great album. really enjoy her music, 1234 and Brandy Alexander are such sweet tunes.
circa's sophomore album is a good album to have this year. ive said it b4 and ill say it again, Anthony Green is amazing and thank god he left Saosin.
