Robert- I honestly have a rough time naming my top ten recordings of 2007 due to the fact that I havent bought a CD in a long time. I'll give it a try.
1. One Repulic's full length album recorded and produced by Timbaland
2. Timbaland's Shock Value album (mainly because of Timbalands genious scheme of robbing bands of their earnings and credit....very smart man)
3. Saosin -first full-length self-titled album
4. Adam and Dave's Bloodline self-titled album
5. Damien Rice's "9"
All of these albums are just off the top of my head I have a difficult time thinking of who to put, once again, considering the fact that I never buy CD's. I do Limewire. Call the cops.
Matt- Most of these bands you will have never heard of, but here we go. (no paticuler order)
1. Maylene and the sons of Disaster: II- this CD finaly broke out their true talent. It has many amazing solos and interesting new sounds. They also maintain the southern rock feel with an instrumental countryish sounding song on the CD.
2. Haste the Day: Pressure the hinges is by far my favorite CD. They are so metal but at the same time leave the same vibe of relaxed but energetic feel to the music.
3. Michael Buble: Call me Irrisponsible is a very different CD than the other two mentioned already. I do love different types of music and this is one that like to listen to with the ladies. They dig it.
4. Rise against: Sufferer and the witness is a fantastic CD. He uses poems in songs that are spoken with some of the most meaningful lyrics i have heard. The whole CD contains amazing songs. It is a very consistant CD.
5. The subtle way: Against your own retreat. An amazing metal CD that has a few jazzish break downs. THey have a mix of different types of music all summed up into their shredding hardcore metal. Byah!
Nick's Favorite Albums of 2007
1) Grampall Jookabox- Scientific Cricket: This album mixes early folk sounds (similar to leadbelly) with tribal drums, some elements of freestyle hip hop, and sheer spaz rock. It is a 2 person show, David Adamson and Aimee Banks. They use pitch shifters (high and low) and slow motion on vocals some times. It is the most interesting album of the year.
2) Adam and Dave's Bloodline- self titled: they mix the raw sixies sounds with eighties synths and other vintage tones. But they still manage to make it sound new and pleasing to me.
3) Everthus the Deadbeats- Addicts Stuck In Traffic: This album has 6 songs, with amazing bass lines, circus organs, and feedbacky guitar. Some times the songs sound like musicals on broadway, then shift in to a ninty's grunge band with in a minute.
4) Voice of The Mysterons- They Have Pulled Down Deep Heaven On Their Heads: this album is the most chaotic punk band ever. They have amazing time shifts and signatures. It is almost as if you have a band playing 3 different parts with a man yelling and singing science fiction and referencing back to faith, life, and modern society and somehow it works.
5)The Arcade Fire- Neon Bible: an indie rock/baroque pop masterpiece it features the band, a hungarian orchastra and a mens choir. The lead singer sounds like david bowie and there album has a really strange presence to it. something like a mix of poppy and spooky.
top songs: 1) light my bedroom from below, good country folk 2) Behind my silent face, untouchable 3) Trevor dust the bedsheets and some terry's 4) the ants of god 5) black mirror

Robert- I honestly have a rough time naming my top ten recordings of 2007 due to the fact that I havent bought a CD in a long time. I'll give it a try.
1. One Repulic's full length album recorded and produced by Timbaland (One Republic is a great band and was in need of the big break. Timbaland, by slapping his name as the album producer, got their name out there. One Republic is a sort of "piano rock" group. Very talented.)
2. Timbaland's Shock Value album (mainly because of Timbalands genious scheme of robbing bands of their earnings and credit....very smart man)
3. Saosin -first full-length self-titled album(This, after many years of being popular for their unique style of music, classified mainly as "Saocore" due to the fact that there is just something about this band that sets them apart from other bands, is an awesome album. The album was produced with top of the line equipment. Saosin is signed to Capital Records)
4. Adam and Dave's Bloodline self-titled album (The band made of former members of Squad Five-O, Adam and Dave, first released a four track EP called "substitute for true love"; mainly to raise anticipation for the full-length album, really struck me as a unique almos 80's ish band.)
5. Damien Rice's "9" (This is the latest of the Damien Rice albums. Damien Rice is Irish and lives in Ireland. His music is very creative and calm. I call it "chillaxin' music" or "chill acoustic". Damien almost brings a folkish sound to mind when listening to the album. He is very passionate. I believe that is what won me over.)
All of these albums are just off the top of my head I have a difficult time thinking of who to put, once again, considering the fact that I never buy CD's. I do Limewire. Call the cops.
