2007: A good year for music

The Shin's latest long-player, Wincing the Night Away still remains top of my 'album of the year' list for 2007. It's an utterly brilliant, likeable, enticing collection of songs. Surprisingly, it stands up to repeated listens much more than I expected and what I thought were mediocre songs have become my favourite songs (Australia).

Ditto Arcade Fire's Neon Bible, a stunning album by any measure. Already, I think I prefer it to their debut, and my enjoyment is still growing. Current favouites are Black Mirror, Neon Bible and The Well and the Lighthouse.

The fun doesn't stop there. I'm currently salivating over the growing list of albums I must and will buy, including:

Bright Eyes - Cassadaga (reviews call it too produced, but I like the leaked songs, so that's me convinced)
Manic Street Preachers - Send Away The Tigers (don't want to hex this album, but I think it's going to be fantastic - their best work ever?)
Kings of Leon - Because of the Times (sounds to me like the boys are polishing their music a bit, but it sounds great)
Modest Mouse - We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank (just because)
White Stripes - Icky Thump (where's the hype?)
