in no particular order...

 

jenny lewis with the watson twins - rabbit fur coat

arctic monkeys - whatever people say i am, that's what i'm not

neko case - fox confessor brings the flood

we are scientists - with love and squalor

the flaming lips - at war with the mystics

Ok yeah, I agree with Kelli's. :laugh4:

Thom Yorke - The Eraser

Flaming Lips - At War With The Mystics

Sufjan Stevens - The Avalanche

 

this is the top 3 so far

 

there are some potentials as well. like Mogwai's, We Are Scientists' or Keane's album. i haven't listened to the first 2 for months already, Keane's album is a bit disappointment and i still need some listenings to it to decide where does it belong

Thom Yorke - The Eraser

Flaming Lips - At War With The Mystics

Embrace-This New Day

Muse Black Holes and Revelations

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Stadium Arcadium

Glen Hansard & Markéta Irglová - The Swell Season

this is Glen's first solo album (he plays in The Frames)with our czech young singer Markéta, it's pretty cool. Glen's music can make you happy, sad....whatever you want, he's a magician in music :)

He and The Frames are still my nr.1...!!!

 

Snow Patrol- Eyes Open

I remember the day when Daryl (bart) told me about this british band and recommended me Final Straw. I was very surprised that it was so good. And now I could try their another album and they didn't disappointed me. It's the same quality as Final Straw, uh I dare to say that some songs are better! ;)

 

Josh Ritter - The Animal Years

American who lives in Ireland and has strange but nice voice. This album charmed me, dunno why, but songs like Girl In The War, Wolves, Monster Ballads, Good Man or Here At Right Time deserve people's ear :lol:

 

that's all

 

I'm waiting for a new The Frames' album......please, guys, be quicker:D

Thom Yorke - The Eraser

Flaming Lips - At War With The Mystics

Sufjan Stevens - The Avalanche

yay sufjan! yeah mogwai's album is good.. but its not my favorite..

Snow Patrol - Eyes Open - when i first got into this band and bought Final Straw i thought nothing could top it, it was seriously that good. Then they brought out Eyes Open which, for me, just about clinches it. Absolute bliss from start to finish :nice: :heart:

 

We Are Scientists - With Love And Squalor - this has got to be one of THE most addictive albums i've ever heard, i just can't stop playing it! They have some amazing guitar riffs, a kick ass drummer and bassist, and lyrics that are really easy to relate to. And to boot, possibly the funniest band website i've ever come across, esp the Advice section! :lol: http://www.wearescientists.com

 

The Automatic - Not Accepted Anywhere - the first time i heard this band was on Radio 1 at work when one of the dj's (can't remember who) played their latest single, Monster. It's probably the catchiest indie pop song i've heard so far this year, with huge guitars, a chorus catchier than the flu and a genius a cappella section at the end. The video is pretty brilliant too :laugh4: And that's just the tip of the iceburg. Although i've only had their album since Saturday (it actually came out on Monday but i preordered my copy online and it arrived early :smug:), it is already a new favourite for me, every song is as good as the last. LOVE them! :D

 

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Stadium Arcadium - i know a lot of Chili's fan are said to be disappointed with this album and i can't comment on that since this is the only album of theirs i own, but personally i love it. Every song is full of funk, soul, rock and in some places rap, but even throughout 28 tracks it never drags :)

 

Dirty Pretty Things - Waterloo To Anywhere - i'm not gonna start banging on about how this album is far superior to anything Babyshambles/The Libertines ever produced blah blah blah, cos i personally have not heard enough of either bands' music to justify such a comment. Instead, i simply want to say that this is fucking brilliant album and i love it :P

Completely agree!! I think that Waterloo To Anywhere can definately hold it's own to the Libertines (and even Baby Shambles). It truly is brilliant.

 

And about WAS, you hit it right on the head :laugh4: They are really hysterical guys, especially in real life :heart: That makes the music that more enjoyable, even though it's brilliant on it's own.

1 . snow patrol - eyes open

i had wanted to buy this album, but then i won it in the local radio, and i love it! i'm listening to the cd for 2 weeks now.

 

best to listen: hands open, shut your eyes, make this go on forever, set the fire to the third bar (martha's voice is amazing)

 

2. keane - under the iron sea

it's one of my favourite bands, and i really love the new album. altough it has a very different sound from hopes & fears. but i love it.

 

best to listen: nothing in my way, hamburg song, bad dream, the frog prince

 

3. arctic monkeys - whatever people say i am, that's what i'm not

an awesome cd. it's so energic and catchy. i don't know what else to say.

 

best to listen: dancing shoes, from the ritz to the rubble, when the sun goes down

 

 

 

hope you don't mind i have written just 3 cds, but right now i can't remember on other ones.

We Are Scientists - With Love and Squalor can't count in top albums of 2006 because it was orginally released in 2005 ;)

:rolleyes: Even so, it's still one of the best album's i've bought this year :P

Not following the usual best album of the year rules then?

 

1 - had to be released for the first time in the year

2 - no greatest hits/best-ofs/live album

I didn't know it wasn't released for the first time this year when i made that post, otherwise i wouldn't have posted it. And as for my second post, i said it's still one of the best albums i've bought this year, if you'd care to read it properly :rolleyes:

Wow, chill out buddy. Bit of a rule whore aren't we? :P

David Gilmour - On an island

Thom Yorke - The Eraser

Richard Ashcroft - Keys to the world

I'm not moaning about it :cool:

 

I know it had a re-release this year, so it's good (and a very good album)

Here's what I'm looking at so far:

 

1. Liars - Drum's Not Dead - Liars continue to defy everybody's expections, this time keeping the ominous dread of They Were Wrong So We Drowned, and adding furious tribal rhythms to it.

 

2. Jim Noir - Tower of Love - Some of the finest pop music I've heard in a long time, although not actually released in the US yet. It is out in the UK, though.

 

3. The Fiery Furnaces - Bitter Tea - The Fiery Furnaces are my favorite band right now. Insanely talented, generally insane otherwise, and adorable to boot.

 

4. Espers - Espers II - Not as good as their first album, but the psychedelic-folk drifts further from the folk and more toward the psychedelic. Is it 1967? It works for me.

 

5. Scott Walker - The Drift - Over the course of 40 years, Scott Walker has evolved from a melodramatic crooner into the world's first atonal pop artist. You will never hear another album that sounds remotely like The Drift.

 

Honorable Mentions:

- Paul Simon - Surprise

- Matmos - The Rose Has Teeth in the Mouth of the Beast

- Zero 7 - The Garden

- Bruce Springsteen - We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions

- Thom Yorke - The Eraser

1.- Thom Yorke - The Eraser

(Is Thom, and no more to say)

2.- Richard Ashcroft - Keys To The World

(A fine cd)

3.- Keane - Under The Iron Sea

(Well, though Chaplin said a lot of stupid things another day, the cd it's good.)

4.- Artic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not.

(Whatever people say I am, that's what I'm not)

 

Atenea_brit

muse - black holes and revelations....technically not released yet but shhhh... ;)

 

Sufjan Stevens - the avalanche

 

Duke Special - adventures in gramophone

And that's it I think... but I haven't actually bought many albums this year so that's just judging from the ones I have heard :)

Haha' date=' have you listened or downloaded any others?[/quote']
