Top 5 Albums of 2007
I present my Top 5 Albums of 2007:
- Feist – The Reminder: Overplayed and too popular now (so I might have to hate it henceforth), but this doesn’t change the fact that it’s an amazing album of indie rock at the core. Not having any track less than good on the album helps too.
- LCD Soundsystem – Sound of Silver: Electronic music taken to whole new places with touching and insightful lyrics.
- Earlimart – Mentor Tormentor: A masterpiece of the introspective with layers of strings upon haunting vocals upon wonderfully tuned distortion.
- Ra Ra Riot – EP: A band that you’ve never heard of (unless I’ve already shilled them to you) perfected the art of rocking out to the cello & violin.
- Cinematic Orchestra – Ma Fleur: Listening to this album is like watching your favorite a bittersweet film; if you close your eyes you can see it play out right in front of you.
