That being said I'll be sure to check her out when I get the chance. I just finished listening to Mika - Life in Cartoon Motion. It's some very catchy power pop, I like. |

I don't know how good of a year this was compared to the previous years, since I am currently more interested in the albums from the past, but, anyways, your post did awake my interests. I checked some new albums (from a suggested list) and I can say they are really good, and not the kind of ones that will come and go, more to say longer. The ones I have checked and safely suggest are Eluvium's Copia, Patty Griffin's Children Running Through, LCD Soundsystem's Sound of Silver (a really crazy one, giving a combined but updated taste from the past, I enjoyed this one a lot), and Miranda Lambert's Crazy Ex-girlfriend. More to come soon, when I have the time to check a few others......

Anyone interested in checking the best albums for 2007, I suggest this site (I think it is a reasonable list, I checked a few more others on the list, and quite satisfied with them)... Below is their current list:

Hmm, I don't listen to a lot of vocal stuff. I'm more instrumental. Throw me some film music and I'll be a happy camper! Anything by the crew at Media Ventures will satisfy me (Hans Zimmer, Nick Glennie-Smith, Harry Gregson-Wiliiams, etc). I also like old Renaissance, Baroque, and Classical music.
I guess being a filmmaker really dawns on me at times. Was I born 100 years too late? Hehe. /j |

OAR - Stories of a Stranger
OAR has come out with their new sound, a unique blend of Roots Rock, and a bit of Ska. They've taken advantage of the possible type of music they could make with their new Saxophonist, and this record is pretty much them figuring out their new sound. Typically, OAR's lyrics on this album are incredible, notably The Stranger and Heard The World. In conclusion, this album has OAR in the middle of band development, and it makes for a very interesting record. The recording quality and mixing in great too. Reel Big Fish - Monkeys For Nothing and Chimps For Free After about nine years of complaining and warning listeners about the music industry, Reel Big Fish has been dropped from Jive records, and could finally make the music they want: third wave, full blown Ska songs, complete with barre chords and great horn lines. Aaron Barret doesn't let anyone down on this record, with decent singing and great guitar playing. Scott Klopfenstein on backing vocals, trumpet, piano, and accordion is nothing but great. John and Dan have come up with some of the most soulful horn lines I've ever heard in a Ska record. And of course, Ryland/The Rabbit has yet again proven that he is a great drummer. Even though Reel Big Fish have been dropped from the major label, they are more happy than they ever have been, and this album shows it. |
