Ever since a good friend introduced me to Modest Mouse, I've been hooked. This album is a shoe-in. I love the attention "Spitting Venom" is getting in these reviews as it is my favorite on this album-barely beating "Dashboard" I think this album is good for newcomers, while longtime fans will ...             Favourite Worst Nightmare58 reviews Arctic Monkeys Domino, 2007 Fantastic + Written review? + The Monkeys Get Cooler + Monkey Chill             Icky Thump182 reviews The White Stripes Warner Bros / Wea, 2007 Now seven albums strong It's undisputed that the White Stripes are one of the best rock bands of all time. Although I might need some time to think about where to place them in my list of favorite bands, this album proves that they rank pretty high on the Richter scale. "Icky Thump" is an earthquake-shaker of an album, ...             Cassadaga55 reviews Bright Eyes Saddle Creek, 2007 This album haunted me...literally + Worth it for "Brakeman" Alone + bright eyes latest and greatest Everything about this album is and was true to form: desperate, disillusioned, violent, heartful and heartless. Spines wind on every track as he pours poison over ice and serves it with a dead man's smile and an umbrella on top. I can no longer bear to listen to this record for personal reasons, ...             The Historical Conquests of Josh Ritter41 reviews Josh Ritter Sony Music Distribution, 2007 josh ritter knocks it out of the park... rustically speaking. + Josh Ritter, if you don't know him, you should. + A little in love with this music + Amazing songwriting + Production values             Graduation288 reviews Kanye West Roc-A-Fella Records, 2007 The Best of The West + As good as Late Registration + Kanye brought it AGAIN!!! + Should have been just a little bit better             Once232 reviews Original Soundtrack Columbia, 2007 BEYOND WORDS! + Good movie and this is a good soundtrack + Stick-in-your-head songs + Awesome + Great Music             The Shepherd's Dog66 reviews Iron & Wine Sub Pop, 2007 A Big Fan + Phenomenal album from an artist and genre I usually don't like + Sam Beam embraces the joy of a full band + Not the Same old Sam...which is good + Wow!!             Easy Tiger95 reviews Ryan Adams Lost Highway, 2007 Easy Tiger + Ryan Adams moves beyond mimicking others + What an album + Easy Tiger is Ryan Adams at His Best.             The Cool95 reviews Lupe Fiasco Atlantic / Wea, 2007 The Cool - Da Dope! + Man Lupe is KILLIN 'EM--lol! + A Fun CD 4.5 Stars + Almost a classic (4.5 stars for "The Cool")             Sky Blue Sky189 reviews Wilco Nonesuch, 2007 Sobriety Breeds Perfection + Not as brilliant as Ghost is Born, but a natural progression First let me say I think Jeff Tweedy is the very best male talent around today period (Jewel being the best female). This is his very best album, he uses Nels Cline to perfection, the writing is sharp and clear and the sounds delightful. This is the sound of a mind set free after years of addiction ...             Boxer60 reviews The National Beggars Banquet, 2007 A great rock album + Enjoy It's literate, soulful, tuneful. This is music for adults -- in the tradition of Blood on the Tracks and Court and Spark.

While other bands dwindle in their creativity, they keep it up with every album. Every song on this album is great. "Nude" and "Reckoner" are two that practically give me a religious experience ...             Cease to Begin53 reviews Band of Horses Sub Pop, 2007 Fantastic album from band with great potential + Awesome CD (if you skip the 1st song) + Great band that I never knew about! + wonderful sounds             Neon Bible136 reviews Arcade Fire Merge Records, 2007 At last, something fresh! + The Arcade Fire + Improvements Recently discovered this band and I must say this is something special! At age 48 I have heard so much stuff and over the past years I thought I had just gotten too old (as it would be presumptuous to claim that modern music is going nowhere fast).

It's different, but Spoon makes this album work! The Ghost of You Lingers is heavy on the pianos with a ...
