U75's albums of the year 2007

[Brainaddict]

Reading this thread has made me realise how many albums I've missed this year, how easily impressed people are by Radiohead mimicking themselves on better form a few years back, and how the people's love of Interpol will always be a mystery to me.

Also, I missed out on all the voting but am disappointed that neither Future of the Left (Curses) nor 65daysofstatic (The Destruction of Small Ideas) made it in. Shame on you urban.

PS. not that I have heard the Radiohead album, but for me the number 1 album this year would be Mark E Smiths & Mouse on Mars 'Von Sudenfed'

I've always liked a few fall songs but i just listened to a few short bursts of those 4 tracks on myspace and decided I couldnt be arsed with it.

We all have different music tastes at different times,

thank god for that.

Future of the Left (Curses)

Hmm. I'd never heard this band until i found out that they were supporting Against Me!, so i downloaded this record, and was rather impressed. Only got to listen to it two or three times before seeing them though, so didn't get a chance to really get into it. After seeing them live i'm glad i didn't bother, they were abysmal.

Really? That's a shame.

I still think the album is good and should definitely not be displaced by the mediocre likes of Modest Mouse and Interpol

65daysofstatic (The Destruction of Small Ideas)

This just seemed to me like diminshing returns on their previous work ... though granted I should probably give it a good few more listens ...

Really? I heard TDOSI first and when I listened to earlier stuff was disappointed. Maybe it depends which you heard first.

Could well be ...

I quite liked that actually. sounded like a cross between nagasaki nightmare and the slits

This is a two of my best friends and two of my favourite musicians at the moment.
Both of these guys deserve a bigger audience.

You Know what? As soon as I posted dat, I knew you would say you liked it. But doesn't it sound a bit similar to Von Sudenfed?

I guess I can only cope with a limited amount of mark e smith's warblings in any one lifetime.

On the subject of Mark E Smith, I have finally gotten around to downloading to and listening to the newest Fall album and I can confidently state that would have made it into my personal top 20 this year.
