I picked up The Besnard Lakes, after seeing a blog calling it one of Adam's favorites of the year. It's tough for an album to crack my top 10 of the year so late in the game, but they might have done it. What an incredible album. |

New QOTSA is great. The band has taken a different direction since Nick was dismissed but theyre keeping it interesting. If you think they lack energy, listen to The Fun Machine Took A Shit And Died. |

that's cool dudes...
(it didn't make my top 07 list either)
personally - I'm still down with the energy of QOTSA - and don't get me wrong cuz I'm a guitar freak but, I think what has really kept my interest is that I'm diggin' his vocal style more than ever. |

I love their last disk - possibly my fave of the collection.
Lullabies & Vulgaris lack energy from Oliveri's absence, just not the same band to me anymore... |

Man, I like that LP, and I was jazzed when it came out, I think I just kind of quickly forgot about it. They haven't been the same for me since Oliveri left. |

Not only the info on Tyondai Braxton being Toni's little bro, but one of the guitarist was from Don Caballero and you also have the giant known as John Stanier from Helmet, Tomahawk fame on drums... |

Crap! I forgot Blonde Redhead ... and The New Pornographers ... and what about Black Moth Super Rainbow, or The Octupus Project. They both put out really fun albums. |

I've had "Leyendecker" stuck in my head, for the last three days. I like that song, but it could go away for awhile.
I didn't know how experienced Battles were until I read up on them a little. I think it's rather strange that the vocals are done by Toni Braxton's brother. |

Battles - Mirrored
Holy shit, darshun. I hadn't heard of it 'til your list. A couple tracks took me a few listens to wrap my head around, and I have no idea what's going on in the fucking lyric department, but overall that album kicks ass! Good choice.
The vocals sound like fucking possessed squirrels.
I'm playing the whole thing on my radio show this weekend. |

Brooks-
I highly recommend Maserati's latest, El ten eleven's latest, and Battles latest... those are damn good instrumental albums... altho, battles has "experimental" vocals (with lots of cool f/x)... |

I just spent the last 20 minutes trying to figure out what new music I bought in 2007, and realized........ I bought shit! I picked up countless reissues or older CDs / vinyl (a big year for vinyl since I just got a turn table), but new music .... squat! How lame?
So hear is a list of all 7 CDs I bought that were released in 2007, and are new music:
AF - Bolts of Melody, easily the best of the bunch
Setting Suns - iTunes EP, excellent, can't wait for the CD release!
The Warlocks - Heavy Deavy Skull Lover, gets better and better
British Sea Power - Krankenhaus? EP, love this band!
Dinosaur Jr - Beyond, awesome comeback album
Black Francis - Bluefinger, 1 or 2 good songs, then kinda boring, basically I aqgree w/ Loper. I had such high expectations...
Panda Bear - Person Pitch, impulse buy, so-so at best, didn'y really give it a chance I guess.

I was gonna go Bolts, but then I thought it was 06, and now I realize it was 07 and so, yeah. Bolts of Melody. I'm an idiot. |

Minus the Bear - Planet of Ice
