didn't you get Porcupine Tree's
Fear of a Blank Planet? (
reviews,
on signal>noise)
best album of 2007 for me especially since its a DVD-Audio, not to mention the fact that Alex Lifeson plays the solo on Anesthetize
The surround mix is as good as Beatles' LOVE DVD-Audio which would be #2 i think (this deservedly beat FoaBP to the surround Grammy)
Also liked Wilco's Sky Blue Sky a lot, and in a similar vein, Blackfield II

(In no order)
Amy Winehouse- Back to Black
Rihanna- Good Girl Gone Bad
Bruce Springsteen- Magic
MIA- Kala
Lady Sovereign- Public Warning (Late 06 release that I heard in 07 so Im counting it! )
If you can handle rap at all Give Lady Sov a spin. She is very funny and her wordplay is insane.
I DJ so I listen to all types of music.

Strangely enough, no I haven't picked up FoaBP yet. Thanks for the reminder!
I got Edenbridge's The Grand Design since my other post. It's excellent.
I also want to check out the Sick Puppies since I won a guitar autographed by them.

I've heard of Riverside. Is that the Polish prog-metal band? I think Amazon sometimes suggests that one for me when I open the front page.

I saw Clutch open for Iron Maiden once, I think. I don't really remember them, but I want to say they were fairly straightforward metal.

I have the
Dance of Death DVD-A - songwriting's ok (perhaps I've grown out of it, though) but the sonics leave a lot to be desired.

Re: Top Albums of 2007 - "Time to throw down!"
I didn't even realize there was a DVD-A of that.
Brave New World is still probably the best of the three.
