Dr. Loon

Prince - Musicology
Back to the old style... great stuff!

Oriel

Katie Melua - Call Off The Search

lordsippa

Gong - Acid Motherhood

Civilian_Target

Not been any particularly noteworthy releases so far this year.

My vote goes to Air-Talkie Walkie

begbie

The Bronx - The Bronx

Mr E

Porcupine Tree - In Absentia

Kali

I'm pretty sure I started a similar thread a while back.. but for repititions sake:

The Walkmen - Bows & Arrows.. simply bloody brilliant.

Not been any particularly noteworthy releases so far this year.

Fennesz - Venice
Franz Ferdinand - Franz Ferdinand
John Vanderslice - The Cellar Door

Von Bondies - Pawn Shoppe Heart
The Stills - Logic Will Break Your Heart
Joy Zipper - American Whip

robbie1876

Prince - Musicology

Good call, it's the best of the year so far, but still not a particularly stunning album. Hasn't been a great year for albums that have caught my ear, but Maroon 5 is getting a lot of time on my CD player at the moment.

Thought this was rubbish compared to their earlier stuff - they have really gone downhill lately.

Hmmm, i wouldnt know its the first album i bought by em' . Alot of their earlier stuff was hit and miss (of what i heard)

Have you got the album? Its excellent

kida

I got an advance copy - I was a big fan i their early years and maybe now I am expecting too much. Their sound has changed a bit over the years.
Liquid Skin and Bring it On are by far my favourites.
