14-12-2007 2:48pm#1Okay, as far as I'm concerned 2007 was a pretty crap one for music, some good albums came out, but they were few and far between. There was the odd diamond in the rough in many albums, but one song doesn't make an album. Here is my list of personal list of the good, bad and disappointing records of 2007:
Good
Queens Of The Stone Age - Era Vulgaris - Hypnotic weirdness
Eddie Vedder - Into The Wild OST - Short inventive brilliance
Jimmy Eat World - Chase This Light - Great hooks, with good pop sensibilities
Bad
Velvet Revolver - Libertad - Sounds like Bon Jovi Applying For Credibility
Chris Cornell - Carry On - Yeah This Is What Happens When you Don't Restrain Yourself A Little
Disappointing
Foo Fighters - ESP&G - Tired LP No. 3 (In A Row) from Bland Shouty Young Homer Simpson & Co.
Smashing Pumpkins - Zeitgeist - Not Crap, just really tiresome at times
Arcade Fire - Neon Bible - Okay I'm prob gonna come under charges of heresy for this one...look i loved Funeral, this wasn't as innovative, some really standout tracks, but as a whole a little underwhelming.
Please submit your choices
P.S. I have yet to listen fully to, The Boss, Radiohead, Rihanna, Michael Buble, The Killers etc. When I've listened to them I'll submit my thoughts on them.0

Yes my bad. Cheers.The Disappointing
* Biffy Clyro - Puzzle (way over simplified no hooks, gets boring fast)
* Bright Eyes- Cassadaga (too bluegrassy tbh)
* Jimmy Eat World - Chase this light (as if futures wasn't cheesy enough this tops it off with a cherry on top)
* Idlewild - Make another world (like Biffy Clyro, it's a major snorefest, a shadow of the band they once were).
Wow these would be all in my good section! Well except JEW.
I understand why older Biffy fans wouldn't like Puzzle but I think it's excellent.
The 'bluegrass' as you call it of Cassadaga is pretty cool and it's a nice chill out album.
Chase the Light isn't great by any means but I wouldn't class it as disappointing as it was kinda to be expected.
Surprised you don't like Idlewild's album. Songs like 'No Emotion' and 'In Competition For The Worst Time' would be at home on any of the early albums and they still know how to write a good melody.0 -

yeh it's more of a disappointment for me really, a lot of factors pissed me off about it, it was recorded and mixed and ready for release in January of this year, but was held up by the artwork, and to have a ****ty Storm Design Studios cover to delay an album for six months, quite literally takes the piss. i had also heard a lot of the songs from going to their concerts, the likes of semi-mental/living is a problem.../as dust dances/get ****ed stud/love has a diameter/now i'm everyone/who's got a match were nothing new to me. Good thing about biffy though is that their motto is "we don't want to repeat ourselves" so we'll hopefully get something different next time around.I understand why older Biffy fans wouldn't like Puzzle but I think it's excellent.
perhaps i should stop expecting JEW to repeat a "static prevails" or "clarity".Chase the Light isn't great by any means but I wouldn't class it as disappointing as it was kinda to be expected.
i was more disappointed with idlewild when i saw the video of "if it takes you home" on their website, it got me totally hyped for the album, it was like they returned to the golden years of "100 broken windows" but i was wrongSurprised you don't like Idlewild's album. Songs like 'No Emotion' and 'In Competition For The Worst Time' would be at home on any of the early albums and they still know how to write a good melody.
