[george mcfly]

best albums:

six organs of admittance - the sun awakens
howlin' rain - howlin rain
comets on fire - avatar
espers - espers 11
oakley hall - second guessing (i think this was actually released last year, not sure)
erase errata - nightlife
fireball - blessed be

it's a tie between comets and howlin rain for album of the year for me

 

[Lord Damian]

The return of Celtic Frost. even god threw up the horns.

 

[Scientician 0.8]

yay I got a vote! woohoo Thanks Chutneyfarmer

 

[Lili Marlene]

9 Paul Weller - Hit Parade (Box)

Funny that, I consider the tracklisting on the box fairly crap but the single cd a really good introduction. But I guess the box is singles only....

According to my ipod my favourite two new albums this year are

1) The Grates: Gravity Won't Get You High
2) Larrikin Love: The Freedom Spark

Funny that, I consider the tracklisting on the box fairly crap but the single cd a really good introduction. But I guess the box is singles only....

Presumably the single CD is just a selection of 'key' tracks from the box? i.e. everything on the single CD is on the box

Box is disc 1 Jam, disc 2 Style Council discs 3 + 4 Weller solo. I can see most people here hating discs 2,3 and 4 but as a Weller obsessive I think nearly everything he's done has been deadly.

 

[Zeelander]

Nah it's not even that, it's just the choice of songs even on disc 1 are so lazy, just the singles in the order they were released in.
