1a. Animal Collective - Strawberry Jam
1b. Panda Bear - Person Pitch
Amazing amazing year for the Animal Collective crew.
(everything else in no particular order)
of Montreal - Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?/Icons, Abstract Thee EP
I'd replace a song or two from Hissing Fauna for a couple from the EP and make one incredible album.
The Good, The Bad and the Queen - The Good, The Bad and the Queen
Albarn.
Modest Mouse - We Were Dead...
For some reason I expected a lot worse.
The Shins - Wincing the Night Away
The 1/2 of the album I like makes up for the 1/2 I don't like.
Loney, Dear - Loney, Noir
Saw them live and liked them, gave the album a listen, not too shabby.
MGMT - Oracular Spectacular
This album might not be out yet for real. I think it's their debut, and I'm really excited to see where they go as a band in the next couple of years.
Disappointed with:
Radiohead - In Rainbows
Once the "OMG new Radiohead" wears off I think this album will be remembered for it's manner of release rather than the music.
Cornelius - Sensous
I think this came out in the US early '07? Anywho, big let down.
