The Weekly DiScussion: our albums of the year, so far
- "I love to put layers on layers." DiS meets The Field
Last five. Thanks for being patient with us. It’s been a slog – we’ve been arguing over this list for what feels like forever – but we’re here. The summit. The zenith. The end. Et cetera. The best five albums of 2007.
According to the DiS editorial team, anyway – the results of your voting will be published next Friday, December 14. Be sure to swing by DiS then to see if your favourite albums of the year – from our original shortlist of 50 – have made the DiS reader top ten. What I will tell you, for the time being, is that the number one record received a staggering number of votes, putting it head, shoulders, knees and toes ahead of the album in second position.
Below the top five is the top 50 in order, as ranked when we initially published the shortlist in an A-Z style. ‘Til next week’s reader vote result: happy listing…
(Missed some? Links: 25-21, 20-16, 15-11, 10-6)

Jamie T
Panic Prevention (Virgin)
“Kharas needs brought out and SHOT for this.” In hindsight, now the dust has had time to settle, I reckon it’d be fair to say that the 10/10 review Panic Prevention received on this site wasn’t greeted with widespread approval. A million miles from your typical ‘DiS band’, whatever that’s supposed to be, Jamie T may have walked a familiar line but through his shot retinas that neighbourhood became a more interesting place to loiter. An exploration of suburban living, lacking cliché, is as hard a task as constructing a math-rock masterwork or a looping, spectral paradise. Stealing glimpses of all the hush-hush romance and tragedy a sleeping camp of Barrett three-beds can hold, the trio of ‘Calm Down Dearest’, ‘So Lonely Was the Ballad’ and ‘Back in the Game’ trumped every other album of this ilk in 2007. It’s ‘Ike & Tina’, though, that is the record’s ace; whirring, fumed and dizzy-reeling under hometown lights.

M.I.A.
Kala (XL)
Leaving a carbon footprint bigger than a fossilised yeti’s, pop trailblazer M.I.A.’s follow-up to the acclaimed Arular was several months, several hundred countries and one troublesome Visa request in the making. It was, naturally, worth the wait - bigger and bolder than its predecessor, taking in the supercharged rhythmic clatter of first single ‘Boyz’ and the bonkers Bollywood disco of ‘Jimmy’, while generally reminding everyone that the Sri Lankan tigress is simply in a class of her own with this stuff, whatever that stuff is exactly. Superb.

Panda Bear
Person Pitch (Paw Tracks)
It’s harsh and impossible to think of a 2007 that’s missing this record from its racks. Pulling memory back to endless after-hours carry on, Person Pitch is, quite simply, a masterwork that words struggle to describe. A synaesthetic epiphany dripping with sample and found sound, it’s Lennox’s disembodied cry manning the record's nerve centre; a playful, vibrant PA. But in a year of clevver music founded on the innate sway of the loop – LCD, Battles, Burial et al. – it’s Lennox who stands out as the poster boy; his is the album that makes that debt most obvious, almost as if he’d constructed a giant tape deck, stuck the world in and hit rewind, reversing the spin of an entire planet on its axis, exploding narrow time and skewing light off the dizzy sphere. A haunting, ultimately incredible record.

Battles
Mirrored (Warp)
Lord knows how it turned out this way. Swell-headed techlords from assorted mathy spod bands slowed down their unfeasibly dense rhythm section and spawned a seven-minute, glam-slamming monster in ‘Atlas’ and suddenly Battles became the must-hear act of 2007. Put simply, Mirrored was sheer prismatic perfection, a perfectly-titled light chamber of echoing loops and twitching, automated beauty that sounded like nothing we’ve heard before or ever will again, and united speccy blogger-types and skinny-pantsed hipsters for possibly the only time in history. Huzzah!
Alex Denney; review here
Tyondai Braxton, Battles
You know, you make something and you cannot believe another person likes it, period. I kind of consider myself a member of the audience, too, and though I may have a different perspective if I like it, I am crazy enough to think others may like it. So I am very happy that people have responded to Mirrored. It also reminds me that maybe there is more room for this music out there than presumed.

LCD Soundsystem
Sound Of Silver (DFA/EMI)
The more iniquitously-minded of you may suggest that LCD made its way to the top of the list by virtue of being the record that no-one hated; certainly its position here is the result of a very democratic process in the DiS camp, votes going right to the wire to bump it above Battles. But to assess its ranking in such an analytical way would be to ignore the pathos-dripping track-of-the-year 'All My Friends', the sweet drone of 'Someone Great', and the wry lament of fitting album closer 'New York, I Love You'. It would also be a dismissal of a record that is a near-perfect integration of musical modernity and classic songwriting. Sure, it’s topped a few lists elsewhere, but DiS can’t disagree with the reasoning of our peers: Sound Of Silver is the album of 2007.

Share on Facebookvery good choices on 1st and 2nd
two of my top 5 also this year.
i'ev enjoyed this chart and shall definately invest in a few i hadn't heard.
Battles
is shit. Panda bear should be #1
you rate
Battles 8/10 though?!
future of the left
down at #38? Fuck me!
LCD at first?!
Its a great album and loads better than his first. Is it really the best album of the year tho? I'm not convinced.
Önly twö
Bänds with umlauts in their nämes.
More umlauts for 'Ö8!
Wot?!>?
No DEP??
WTF!>?
I'm still trying to work out
Why Low didn't make the list. I think on another topic it's mentioned that it's because they'd released better albums before but that's true of about half the list!
Re: LCD at first?!
Yes it is. Listen again. Preferably whilst walking somewhere.
Er....
NO BESNARD LAKES?!?!?!?!
EH???
Clearly the finest album released this year.
and that LCD
album is really overrated IMO. The last 2 or 3 songs are painful.
The LCD Album
gets painful after the 1st song. Repetetive, sub !!! bollocks and severely lacking in any variety/change of pace. Thus album of the year, Good call!
Jamie T.
LOL! To be honest, I've only heard 18 of those 50 albums. I think LCD's second, good as it is, is over-rated. As for Battles... they're technically very impressive, but half of "Mirrored" is little more than that. Radiohead for #1 for me (especially if you take into account the second disc). Keep in mind, though, that I <3 them. I would've liked to have seen This Et Al, Asobi Seksu and A Place to Bury Strangers in there somewhere, too; as far as I'm aware, they all received "proper" releases in the UK this year.
... Yep.
Well done DiS, you win!
Can't argue with four of that top five, LCD deserved winners.
Not a bad list....
...if a little predictable.
Notable omissions include SHAPE OF BROAD MINDS (LEX) , probably the most progressive hip-hop album of the last couple years & BURIAL 'Untrue' (Hyperdub) which is a brooding, moody masterpiece.
Jamie T
Oh dear...
both considered
Felt SOBM lacked punch m'self; fun though it was it's not in the same league as El-P or Aesop, dalek or Clipse.
The Burial album... some of us here LOVE it; others are cold towards it. I'm in the latter camp - try though I have to let it sink into my skin, I find it too... clean? I don't find it brooding at all.
Thanks all.
Even though LCD may be a fairly obvious choice
it is the right one. Good to see you didn't just go for something obscure for the sake of it. Good to see MIA up in your top 5 as well.
twilight sad album 48?
the world has gone crazy! top ten fo sho :(
I was hoping this
would get Number 1. Not suprised though really.
Who'd have thought it...
Jamie T in the Top 5. Nobody saw that one coming. I'm pleased to see that though cos he's in y Top 5 too. Good lad, Jamie!
jamie t
is a great little album - good work for recognising it team
twilight sad
should really have been in top 25... no? Oh well. The next album, maybe.
Best list
I've seen so far - well done DIS!
^ this ^
I'm quite confident of their next album being this big, Mercury panel-impressing beast.
LCD is very much looking
to be the Funeral of 2007, it's so far come top in Uncut, Stylus and DiS. I can see it also being NME's number one (you know how they like to copy others), while I also think 'All My Friends' will end up giving Jimmy-Boy the overall Single of the Year (Mojo, Stylus again, probably that wanker Conor)...
yes
correct. DiS, you are right about lcd. :)
agreed on first.
very different rest of list for me though...
...AGREED...
Stand by the fact that SoBM prattles on too much about innovation. Peaks at Let's Go.
no aereogramme!
my heart has a wish is beatiful - not just my favourite album of this year but probably the last 3 or 4!
mental
Of Montreal at 46?
Insane
JAMIE T????
oh well, each to their own i guess, but yeah, jamie t is shite and you really need to see it, ok? let's see how you've come along 12 months from now
sorry
but that Of Montreal album's the worst they've done in years. what were they thinking with that 12 minute long track in the middle?
andrew bird
at 33 makes me sad though. oh well.
I do like these lists
I don't hear much new music these days so I tend to go with whats on here. How lazy am I?! Anyway worked for me last year.
It's also number one on
The Guardian's list.
Nina Nastasia
Nina Nastasia & Jim White's 'you follow me', should be there, its marvellous, as should Kristin Hersh, Besnard Lakes, Low, Marissa Nadler, Okkervil River, Bjork, St Vincent, New Pornographers, Sunset Rubdown, The Good Bad & Queen, Cathy Davey, Band Of Horses, Bat For Lashes and Iron & Wine!
they were thinking
'Hey this will be fucking brilliant'
and they were right!
^ Will someone please put this retard out of his misery?
'Hissing Fauna...' is a work of singular pop genius, and 'The Past Is A Grotesque Animal' is intense, affecting and wonderful. Should have been top 5, definitely.
They opened
their set last night with 'Grotesque Animal'. Which was nice.
Whatever your grips about this list..
...can we all at least agree that 2007 has seen the release of some top class albums- the strongest set for a while IMO, 07 a vintage year?
LCD are my #1 as well. Good list, I think DiS and its readers know their shit when it comes to rooting out the tunes. well done all
^^^
pop music for the mo an all
but
jamie 2 is still shit now
and will be both shit and embarrassing by next summer
wot no SFA, El-P, Robert Wyatt?
mostly fair enuff though, kids
i dunno tho
50 is hard
it is a bumper year for albums
it really is
^^^
Exactly!!! This album should come with a warning: "May make you dance uncontrollably whilst walking"
^ this ^
There have been way more brilliant albums this year than in the past few... there's no doubt Besnard Lakes, Band of Horses, Wyatt, Sunset Rubdown, Bjork, Low, Okkervil River and more have made great LPs (although Bat For Lashes was LAST year, and the St Vincent album...? A bit... much?), but you've gotta draw your lines soemwhere. Also: DEP, Oxbow, El-P, SFA, MMISL, L Pierre, Burial... the list goes on and on and on... Maybe we should do a top 100 next year?
Guardian writer's top 20
http://music.guardian.co.uk/reviews/story/0,,2223431,00.html
LCD again....looking like a landslide across the board for James Murphy and co
JAMIE T?!?!? etc etc
But yeah, good choice on first. That could well be my album of the year too
blimey..
I nearly own the top 10.
Shock.
Well the good thing is
that 15 of my top 20 records of the year are in your top 50, so that goes to show "great minds" and all that... And indeed 3 of your top 5 are in mine too.
But you guys, there has been some AMAZING pop music this year. You need to open your eyes and see that Pop is the future, and Jamie T is thankfully not.
I know DiS isn't about pop music, but to these ears there's only a thin line between some of those tunes and the last Rihanna album...
Call it "constructive criticism" if you will
x
No Robyn?Henrik Scwarz?
Robyn's UK debut was a strong contender
strugglign to justify the M.I.A though
Okkervil River
Very surprised by the lack of Okkervil River in the Top 50, especially as DiS is sponsoring their tour. I'm not implying that backs are scratched for such awards, just that I thought they probably had the DiS seal of approval, that's all. Plus it's a fucking great record.
No Besnard Lakes, Broken Family Band, Low etc either? Shame on you.
i tried to fight for it to get higher
but i was on my own, sadly. it's in my personal top 10 tho, for what that's worth.
Sound of Silver
Talk to me, makes you want to feel like a teenager.
Easily album of the year for me. Perfect from start to finish.
As for Mirrored, I still haven't made it the full way through the album on one listen. It's unlike anything I've ever heard before, I'll give it that. However, it irritates the fuck out of these ears.
Maybe it will have grown on me, in a few years time...
i don't really care that much about the list
since i knew from the start i was only going to have heard about 5 of the albums on it anyway.
that said, i'm a little disappointed to see armchair apocrypha so low, it hasn't had nearly enough love on here.
also kinda surprised at how low hissing fauna is... not cause i like it, just because it seems to be near the top of everyone else's list. but then, i guess you guys didn't want to be TOO predictable, right? :D
jeez
How are The Twilight Sad not in this list????!!!!
I think
yr just copying Stylus! Sound of Silver album of the year, and All My Friends single of the year!
obv it's a good idea to copy others when they get it right.
ah
So I see. My folly. woops-a-daisy
awful list for me.
Apart from Deerhunter and maybe Efterklang, none of this album will make my list.
if it makes any difference
we picked and ordered this list about 6 weeks ago.
hopefully you can sleep easy now.
doo-doo-doooh-du-duh-doo-dooooh
really?
You've heard all 50? - there's some fantastic albums there, although I think Eugene McGuiness and Twilight Sad should have been a lot higher, and Menomena should have been in there.
Where the fuck are Fall Out Boy?
You wankers!
stars of the lid
would get my vote.
but, they weren't even on the list.
shame really.
How the hell did Jamie T get in there?
Stops me from taking this list seriously.
It deserves a mention somewhere in this thread, so...
I'll mention The Great Unwanted by Lucky Soul. Not perfect by any means, and perhaps not quite top 50 stuff (they should have put Give Me Love on it), but an album I've enjoyed a lot this year.
I've said it once and I'll say it again,
The Field!
But yeah, Sound of Silver would have been my no.2.
It does seem a bit odd.
Thought I was on nme.com for a second.
I own the whole top 5
but disagree with it.
Number 46 and 47 should be numbers 1 and 2!
i just listened to it
it sounds like if flight of the conchords decided to take themselves seriously.
rubbish and boring.
Jamie T.
HaHaHaHa.
That is all.
Who
the fuck is M.I.A. ?
Anyway, nice to see Modest Mouse being recognised as brilliant, in at number 6.
Jamie wTf ????
I don't claim to be overly familiar with this album but in light of the quality of releases this year i'm stumped as to how this crept into the top 5. Maybe it's too obvious or no longer hip to admit that Radiohead put out the best album(s) this year, just pipping LCD to the title.
most of them ( at least a few tracks )
By awful, I'm not giving my opinion on the music ( apart from Bloc Party, Jamie T and the Maccabees... ), but thinking as how 'standard indie' that list is.
Most ( if not all ) of this albums have been highly discussed on every website, webzine or blogs on the net. It definitevely made me think of this thread a few weeks ago about uniformization of taste.
I can understand why people like or even love this albums. I just find a bit awful that many of them will be in EVERY top50...
i just lost a little respect for this site
I can't believe so many people like the lcd soundsystem record so much. it is absolutely fucking horrible. and i love electronic/dance music.
i bought the record, listened to it a few times, and promptly sold it. one of the most bland and boring records in recent memory. i guess lots of people are getting paid to write about this one.....
and let the bile start spewing, i love klaxons!
i guess it's cause i'm american?
saw 'em live twice and they were TIGHT!
"What no Pissed Jeans! You are dead to me"
etc etc etc etc
Its a good list all in, not to keen on Jamie T but can see why it's popular. My Fav's has been Sunset Rundown, Miracle Fortress, Panda Bear, The National eand so on
Oh man..
Battles sucks. LCD Soundsystem are horribly overrated. No one cares about Jamie T.
Your top 10 albums are a joke. And the fact that Menomena is nowhere on that list is even funnier. And Andrew Bird at 33? LOL.
DiS, you're dead to me. :)
Didn't Duran Dujran
relaease an album this year? You philistines...
but...
what no interpol?
and qotsa?
both albums better than, ooh. i dunno. say, a weekend in the city. coming from a bloc party fan.
nice one with lcd though.
i think the daft punk album (which is also absent) should have perhaps pipped it to number 1. daft punk dont make bad albums. they just make brilliant albums that are above everyone else. they know it.
Uhmm how the fuck..
are the Twilight Sad not in the top 5?! It's infinitely better than LCD's or MIA's album by far. Such a a shit list.
LCD
Couldn't agree more about it. "All my friends" is my song of the decade so far.
LCD on the go
i agree with kykiske, listening to Sound of Silver whilst walking is the best way to appreciate it.
Proper Good!
This is why I love DiS, for every album I am really glad you recognised (esp. The Twilight Sad....and judging by the comments not just me thinking this), there are another couple that I might check out & discover.
I'm off to check out some Panda Bear....
this
is horseshit.
i suppose next year's list will be topped by youthmovies. if so, i'm outta here.
Interesting, but...
I wish they'd listed the live album by Os Mutantes. It rules and they influenced half the bands on this list. Well, maybe not half. Still, there's more exuberance racing thru that album (it's actually 2 discs) than any (commercial) concert recording I own except maybe Kicking Television, and they're old dudes.
beef
whats everyones beef with jamie t? i dont get it?.....no one seems to have any constructive criticism towards it, apparently its just shit......reply?
This is a good DiS list.
Though I would say Of Montreal being so low is a bit of an anomaly. Did no one fight for it to be higher?
Do we get to see the different editors and contributors top 10s? I like that. Lets me know whose opinion I'm more likely to agree with more in reviews.
Also, how does the deciding work. I imagine it to be so much fun, arguing about how one album is better than the other, all the criteria. I love debate and albums though. Again, good list for DiS.
good choices
quite similar to my list too. My top three is.
1) LCD Soundsystem
2) M.I.A
3) Panda Bear
!!!
Myth Takes shouldve been much higher up the list along with Beirut, Of Montreal Arcade Fire and Justice. All top 10 albums. LCD was good but it does have some mediocre tracks on the album - like Watch The Tapes and Sound of Silver.
Good like tho. Glad Arctic Monkeys is nowhere near the top 10!
Your top 50
Is not exactly the same as my top 50!
How dare you! Etc.
FOTL LP is amazing
but I think its fairly predictable that basically everything Andy Falkous does never gets the media recognition it deserves
no
it's sub emo lyrics over a yawnfest of a, fuck i don't know what it's like. in fact, in years to come, people will use it as a yardstick of shiteness, it'll be like "that's so bad, that's the past is a grotesque animal".
don't get me wrong, i like of montreal, and there's some good tracks on the newie, but in terms of pop songs that don't make you cringe, i'll stick to sunlandic twins and, i guess, satanic panic in the attic. thankyou.
Good call with the walking thing
I love LCD and had a great time at the Brixton show last month but I'm really struggling to get what is so special about this album. Top 20 yes, number one? No way.
Play it while walking through town however and it is virtually impossible not to adopt some kind of travolta-esque strut.
Concur
If that's the reasoning, Bloc Party should be at -30whatever they got.
Erm...
Radiohead are 9th...
No Top 50
can be complete without Reverend and The Makers.
Surely?
Bands that made great albums in the past instead of..
Bands making great records *now*
Radiohead? Christ.
1. LCD (duh)
2. Jamie T (and his accent)
3. Deerhunter (freak show great record)
4. Black Lips (fuckyeahflowerpunk)
5-50 Who cares. They'll be forgotten by mid 2008.
RstJ
Bit DiSappointed
(see what I did there) with this.
No Spoon, LSF outside the top ten, Battles the only band I understand being in the top 5...
Where did it all go wrong?
Mine was
yeah...
Where is
Burial? Untrue is fantastic.
Soulsavers
for me Soulsavers - "It's Not How Far You Fall It's the Way You Land" has to be in the top 5
Night Falls Over Kortedala
should be top ten, at least. that is all.
Thought Asobi Seksu
would be in here somewhere? Citrus is glorious
I can speed up your departure...
...if you're really so keen.
^^ re Robyn. And Henrick Schwarz?
I'm surprised to hear you mention him (didn't think it would be a DiS thingy thing...)
Yeah - they had the varying Eds and Contrib's. views in previous years..
I'd be really intersted to read those again, actually... Put em' in, Diver...
no
.
no
.
no
.
yes
you fool
main observation:
Is this the year that DiS gave up on rock? I mean, shit the bed, this really must have been a poor year. o Dillinger Escape Plan then? I guess that scares the bejeesus out of most of the readership these days. Then I notice that you didn't even review Oceansize's "Frames", so I guess you have actually given up listening to densely textured, sophisticated, emotive, brilliantly conceived and outrageously well-played rewarding rock music. In favour of what? Yikes, Jamie T the minstrel of Merton and the uber-pretentious, rather soulless and directionless widdling of Battles?
I'm on here so little I keep having to re-register as I forget my passwords, but I might not bother next time if this is the prevailing wind nowadays...
LCD soundsystem
simultaneously sucks and blows
The Twilight Sad
Robbed.
Woo-hoo
I am so glad that I concur with DiS, I listened to SOS again on Sunday and decided once and for all that it was my album of the year, then check on here for the first time in a few days, and you agree!
sorry but...
All the list is OK but the #1 is the most ridiculous that I've seen for years... Where are all of you, DIS's writers, in 2005? LCD Soundsystem was the Record of the Year 2005 with the debut!!! That's a copy of that!! Well, nobody's perfect...
I checked out Panda Bear
on this rating alone. It's superb.
I thought
it was merely ok. I might need to listen to it again.
Grinderman
is obviously indie as well now, then, on this logic :/
FOTL
made the album of the year.
when will falko get the recognition he deserves as a songwriter?
Miracle Fortress
anyone? Seems a really comprehensive list, mind.
Wot no Klaxxons?
Yer avin a larf mate!
mm
just what i was thinking.
What?
Klaxons is in there.
Klaxons
The New Noise list put Klaxons top. Given their prominence this year, it seems fair. Surprised they're not higher in this list too. Same for The National.
http://www.new-noise.net/features/best-of-2007---the-top-20-albums_3461.html
My number 1 album of 2007
Lil' Wayne's "Da Drought 3"!
top 50
I still that Arctic Monkeys Favorite Worst Nightmare should have featured some on on the top 50 albums of the year. the cribs also deserved their place in the top 50, as did MIA, but arcade fire Neon Bibles position was too high in the list, its a good album, defiantly worthy of a top 50 placing but 19 is a bit too high, it should have been towards the end of the list. Battles, should have been at the top of the list, its weird, its different its amazing. and what the fuck are klaxons doing in the the list, Myths of the near future is easily the worst album of the entire, pure and utter wank.
Hmmmmm...
I forgot how many great albums came out last year. Good to see Strawberry Jam got in there.
Where´s Jose gonzales
it´s a decent list,Kala should have been nr:1 do. And i think it´s very good you also got your ears open too music
outside of uk and us. like efterklang and jens lekman but where is jose gonzales and tough allience ?
I know that it´s people taste and so on that determs a list but swedish music is on a rise right now so helt them find fans outside of scandinavia
Radiohead only at #9
haha, okay.
how did
Wilco "Sky Blue Sky" not feature in this list. one of the best albums i've listened to in the past few years...
