As many as you like, only stipulation is that they have to have been released this year (which totally buggers me up cos Opeth's Ghost Reveries would've been straight in at number 1 :lol: ) and no re-releases :)

So for me...

1. Tool - 10,000 Days
2. Pure Reason Revolution - The Dark Third
3. The Flower Kings - Paradox Hotel
4. Secret Machines - Ten Silver Drops
5. Wolfmother - Wolfmother


...and bubbling under...

Frost* - Milliontown
Muse - Black Holes & Revelations
Riverside - Voices In My Head

Biggest disappointment:

The Tangent - A Place In The Queue - got it after reading several rave reviews. Musically brilliant but the vocals are awful, ruin the whole thing (and this is coming from a Rush fan :lol: ).

I've bought loads of albums this year but most of them are nothing more than ok...


Angels and Airwaves - We Don't Need To Whisper is the only really good one I can think of :shrug:

I agree that nothing's stood out for me.

The best so far is Snow Patrol: Eyes Open.

Honourable mentions to Arctic Monkeys and Angels & Airwaves :)

I can't think of any new albums I've actually bought this year.

The best album I've not bought (but still technically half own :shifty:) is Muse: Black Holes & Revelations.

Was Arctic Monkeys this year? Well, I bought that and thought it was good, but not as good as some of last year's efforts.

T'was January methinks :)

I've only bought one album this year and that was a bit of an impulse buy, only thought about it for about 3 or 4 weeks. :)

At a guess was it Muse? :)

A good guess but no. :) I wanted to listen to the songs they released first but haven't heard them yet, a downside of never listening to the radio I suppose.

Oops forgot to say it was Nina Simone.

The only album I've paid for :whistling: this year was Stadium Arcadium by the chillis :thumbsup:

Well worth it

Snow Patrol - Eyes Open :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Got the keane album at the same time and haven`t listened to it much.

Ordered the new Muse album last week. :)

Just asked my boss (who's 2 years older than me) what his albums of the year are and, after much discussion (and consulting Amazon), we have established that he owns the grand total of one album that has been released since the year 2000 :lol:

Of the albums I have bought this year, most of them have been replacing my old records/tapes.....(so that means probably released 70/80s :ph43r: )
Have no idea if I've got any released this year..... :shrug:


:ponder: Was Karmacode released this year....?

Yes it was :)

Ooh ooh! That means I've got one then...... :yahoo:

Guess my vote goes for that then...... :ph43r:

My favourite so far is Placebo by a long way.

I don't think I've bought that many albums that have been released this year, I'm stingy and wait for the sales :lol:.
Probably the only album I've bought that has been released this year is Snow Patrol's Eyes Open which is really good.

Dixie Chicks - Taking The Long Way :ph43r:

You're not related to Mark (BtB) are you? ;)

Decided to give The Tangent another go this morning, after my earlier comments, which I still stand by :ponder: Musically it's one of the best pure prog rock albums I've heard since Yes were in their heyday ( :ph43r: ), I just wish the singer would shut the f*ck up :lol:

Go team for me best album that I've bought this year as well as Maximo Park (which I bought this year but came out in Oct last)

Well if you're allowed to have that I'm having Opeth's Ghost Reveries, cos I bought that this year :snooty: :lol:

Mine would probably be Snow Patrol or Muse :)

Ah, another one I bought. For some reason I haven't had chance to listen to it much yet so I don't know whether I like it or not. :rolleyes: I must rectify that before Reading. :)

:lol: & Oi! I might be offended if it wasn't true. :)

My faves have been the Keane, Snow Patrol and Razorlight albums, though my latest purchase was AC/DC's live 'If You Want Blood You've Got It.' A trip down memory lane for me I'm afraid!

Andrew :yahoo:

For me, very few have really stood out although I have enjoyed Keane, and thought that 'Fundamental' by the Pet Shop Boys was a good return to form. The one I have listened to the most would be 'Victory For The Comic Muse' by The Divine Comedy although its not one of Neil Hannons best.

:lol:
I put it down to a combination of being a student and Scottish ;)

Just heard Black Holes and Revelations and am really enjoying it so far :thumbsup:

My Chemical Romance - The Black Parade

Angels and Airwaves - We Don't Need To Whisper

Aiden - Nightmare Anatomy

Lostprophets - Liberation Transmission

The Panic Channel - ONe



Looking forward to Linkin Park's new album early 2007 :yahoo:

Haven't really looked through the thread but for me it's The Flaming Lips with At Way with the Mystics

Well now that Opeth's Ghost Reveries has just been re-released in special edition form I can categorically say that it's far and away my album of last year and this year :snooty: :wub: :yahoo:

If it's been re-released isn't it classed as so last year?


My list keeps changing :)

No :p

It's my thread, I make the rules :snooty:

:shifty:

Aiden or MCR, MCR or Aiden. Decisions, decisions ;)

LOL :)

Well those two are two of the best. I've got a list as long as a really long arm of other ones too :)

Did you start this thread?

I wish I had a thread where I was the boss too :lmao:

Not bad considering your earlier post...

:ponder: :lol: ;)

:lol:

Go for it! I recommend a "Gwen Must Die" topic on the Torchwood board :lol:

LOL :)

Since that post I've bought at least 20 albums :p

:lol: Oops :whistling: :lol:

Scuppered myself on all counts :lol:
