I'm sure this topic hasn't been done for a good fortnight so here we go again....
Basically i just wanted to let everyone know what my Favourite album of the year is, even though i'm still trying to think about it as i'm writing this ramble. It's actually turning into a really good year on the musical front.
So, my album of the year is...
1) Hope of the States- The Lost Riots
followed by
The Killers- Hot Fuss
The Icarus Line- Penance Soiree
and i just know that Bloc Party will probably release the greatest album of the universe of all time later in the year
Re: Album of the year, so far?
the futureheads - s/t

Re: Album of the year, so far?
i'll add on Bearsuit - Cat Spectacular!
and Super Furry Animals - Phantom Phorce.

Biffy Clyro and Bloc Party records out later....nice.
Re: Album of the year, so far?
Loretta Lyn's collaboration with Jack White
Definitely not The Hives
Re: Album of the year, so far?
I'm also really into yourcodenameis:milo - All Roads To Fault though I don't know if I will get lynched for that or not.
I really enjoyed The Killers at TitP but I've happily done without their album...it just isn't making me stick in my CD Player every day.
Re: Album of the year, so far?
Erland Oye - DJ Kicks
Ghostfact - Pretty Toney
The Ponys - Laced With Romance
Re: Album of the year, so far?
1. fiery furnaces - blueberry boat
2. interpol - antics
3. These Arms are Snakes - the oxeneers....blah blah blah.
all pretty brilliant in their own different ways (but the interpol one will be slagged off by know-nowts i fear).

And who spend the rest of their spare time making insufferably superior and smug (childish even - in spite of their grown-up TWENTY FOUR big fat years of musical maturity, cough..) internet postings designed to belittle, when someone should dare to have the temerity to speak of the fact they (yikes) think nothing of Interpol. Or, if one should be so juvinile as to use a 'smiley' (you'll have to divulge this highly secret way you've discovered of conveying every subtlety of speech over the internet just by letters – else I might get mistaken for a 9 year old McFly fan, by the cool guys with highly developed musical tastes as they look down their noses at one and all).
Are you actually still in year 10 or something? You must be the coolest person around. I wish i was like kicka11...

as for albums
The Empire Strikes First- Bad Religion
Franz Ferdinand
The Tipping Point- The Roots
Tyrannosaurus Hives
Re: Album of the year, so far?
Re: Album of the year, so far?
Madvillain - "Madvillainy"
Junior Boys - "Last Exit"
Streets - "A Grand Don't Come for Free"
I like HOTS too but too much of it falls short of the mark - e.g. the utterly cringe-worthy "Don't Go to Pieces". Then again, if it was all as good as "Black Dollar Bills" or "Enemies / Friends" it'd probably make my head explode.

Re: Album of the year, so far?
avenged sevenfold - waking the fallen
Re: Album of the year, so far?
Franz Ferdinand - Franz Ferdianand at no 1
The Streets - A Grand Don't Come For Free at no 2
Keane - Hopes and Fears no 3
How can we forget the impact that Franz Ferdinand have made this year, they've even had a big impact in America. I do think though that the Scissor Sisters, Snow Patrol and Modest mouse should be right up there.
Re: Album of the year, so far?
I reckon either The Bees - Free The Bees
i'm down with the zero7 album at the mo to, that's fucking ace.
Re: Album of the year, so far?
I think the Interpol album will be the best - are we still allowed to like them? - havent read nme for a few weeks so am confused as to what countries we are allowed to like music from -ie if the hives were from wigan and the concretes from Ruislip they'd struggle to get a rebooking at the Verge
help i am confused

Re: Album of the year, so far?
Re: Album of the year, so far?
for fucksake, is that the best you can do? I bet you bought them all for £13.99 at HMV and were happy about it. Music pedestrian.
Re: Album of the year, so far?
but the album of the year for me by a country mile is Madvillainy.
Re: Album of the year, so far?
Re: Album of the year, so far?
Trademark Want More. Perfect pop music.
Alexandroid - False Starts.
The Hunches' Hobo Sunrise is fairly amazing.
Re: Album of the year, so far?
Re: Album of the year, so far?
Reuben - 'Racecar Is Racecar Backwards'
Gay For Johnny Depp - 'Erotically Charged Songs...' EP
Doubtless contenders shall appear in the form of Instruction (out on import next week), Biffy Clyro's next masterpiece 'Infinity Land', Jimmy Eat World, and Green Day. And probably a fair few more...
Re: Album of the year, so far?
The Shins- Chutes Too narrow
Modest Mouse- Good News...
Morrisey- You are The quarry
I didn't think the new Interpol was out yet?
Oh gosh you must like, work in the 'music biz' (HMV) and have a preview copy and on this forum you can show off about it - My god you're cool!
Re: Album of the year, so far?
Squarepusher - Ultravisitor (even though there's a little too much bass noodling and not enough brutal mash up moments)
Tim Wright - Thirst
OOIOO - Kila Kila Kila
Jawbone - Dang Blues
PJ Harvey - Uh Hur Hur
Mandarin - Fast Future Present
Manitoba - Up In Flames
Cocorosie - La Maison de Mon Reve
Two Lone Swordsmen - From The Double Gone Chapel
Nina Nastasia - Dogs (a re-release still counts, right?)
Re: Album of the year, so far?
Candidate had an interesting album 'Under The Skylon' out at the start of the year.
I am looking forward to both IAMX and Bjork.

Everything Bjork does is fantastic (I say everything I mean most things). All the reviews of this record sound like exactly the sort of thing I would want to do if I was that way inclined.
