Re: Top Albums of 2007 - "Time to throw down!"
The Dead C's Future Artists was the standout of 2007 for me. The band is as engaging and imaginative as ever. |

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

Re: Top Albums of 2007 - "Time to throw down!"
(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.

Re: Top Albums of 2007 - "Time to throw down!"
Yup. Second Life Syndrome is very good - standalone or you can take it as the middle part of a trilogy of albums
Reality Dream trilogy
Out of Myself (2003)
Second Life Syndrome (2005)
Rapid Eye Movement (2007)
