[MakeItSantoriTimes]

I'd have to go with PB&J - Writer's Block. I guess you can consider that a 2007 release, since it was released this year over here....

Really looking forward to their set on Saturday....

i agree. if they're on the same time as Hot Chip im gonna cry...

[C DUB YA]

!!! - is terrific.
Modest Mouse - is great.
The View - is really good too.
The Fratellis - awesome

Bloc Party is VERY disappointing
Arcade Fire a bit disappointing, but nothing could live up to the hype.
The Good The Bad The Queen - is so-so at best. Its a grower though

[DSN1138]

HISSING FAUNA ARE YOU THE DESTROYER!!

[idrive1life]

Bloc Party's is my worst so far.

[C DUB YA]

Bloc Party's is my worst so far.

I'm sooo pissed about it because I LOVED Slient Alarm, LOVED I tell you.

I like Song for Clay and Waiting For the 7:18 both are pretty good, after that, The Prayer and I Still Remember are very mediocre, then Hunting For Witches is listenable, the rest is garbage at this point.

What the hell happened to the tunes?

Weird right?

You can tell a bad album, when I only import a third of it into my itunes library.

[brassneck]

Friend And Foe by Menomena
All Of A Sudden I Miss Everyone by Explosions In The Sky
Writer's Block by Peter Bjorn And John
Infinity on High by Fall Out Boy - don't care if you don't agree, cuz the bandwagon is already full

I think it's Kele's coming out album. Every song sounds like a depressing love song on there.

[jcconnors]

I barely catching up with the last part of the 06' year. Sounds like I need to get a move on!

[ethan]

panda bear - person pitch
!!! - myth takes
lcd soundsystem - sound of silver

Arcade Fire - Neon Bible (lives beyond any hype it could possibly receive)
Patrick Wolf - The Magic Position
Eats Tapes - Dos Mutantes
Of Montreal - Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer? (though kevin's voice is really getting old to me)

[BoardsofCoachella]

1. Shins - wincing the night away
2. Decemberists - the crane wife

this thread is about 2007 not 2006

[chaxxie]

I think Bjork's album due this spring will be the best thing that happen's this year.
