As with last year, here are just a few thoughts on this year's releases:
Best New releases:
Fear of a Blank Planet - Porcupine Tree. Possibly my very favourite,
The King of Cards - Tom McRae. Not quite up there with 'Just Like Blood', but very good,
Snakes and Arrows - Rush, much better than 'Vapor Trials',
Comicopera- Robert Wyatt, certainly the first two 'movements',
Person Pitch - Panda Bear, first heard on Where's The Skill In That?,
Coheed & Cambria - No World for Tomorrow,
Honourable mentions too, for Cherry Ghost, Dream Theater, Bjork, Joanna Newsom and Siouxsie.
The Marillion album, although it pains me to say it, should have been better, although '08 promises a return to form.
Other albums I've bought that I've been underwhelmed by include the new Arcade Fire and Modest Mouse, and another White Stripes album that is just too bare for my liking,
Old releases bought this year are far too numerous to mention, as I've spent a large proprtion of my time at work downloading from a variety of sources.
