Interesting stuff and, as perverse as it may sound, the reviewer may have a point about it being his best since The River. As great as Nebraska is, it's not an album I can listen to at will. Like most of his stuff up to and including The River, Magic has much more of that 'any-occasion' vibe.

ED: In full agreement about Livin' in the Future by the way.

I thought that was a 2006 release. Otherwise it definitely would have made my highlights list.

fuck i forgot jesu

the new liars was fuckin pussy, literally, they made two extremly far out records and in all honesty i thought they were on some next level shit, totally different than any other "indie" bands, and yes i know they change thier sound up, but its not very brave to go to near unlistenable noise, to weird ambient chanting shit, to straight up rock songs, fuck that. i still have faith in them tho.

3. new toddle [fucking perfect songwriting, absolutely amazing production, etc etc etc. "college rock" the way it's meant to be played]

4. new stars of the lid [beautiful, epic, expansive. for something so sparsely-arranged, you'll find yourself wanting to listen to it often -- for all its subtle nuances. truely music to live in.]

5. new polysics [well, they also haven't released a bad record. chalk this one up as their weirdest yet.]

OTHER ALBUMS I DUG:
new jesu (which one?!)
new residents
new panda bear
new growing
new venetian snares
new bloodthirsty butchers
new animal collective
new motocompo
new growing
new sloth love chunks
new boredoms (well, not "new", but.. super roots 9)
new experimental dental school (split)
new gein & the graverobbers
new tuks (not sure if it's 2007 actually)
new zazen boys (live album)
new six organs of admittance
new shellac
new om
new sir richard bishop
new oren ambarchi
new battles
new mammal
new boris
new dodheimsgard
new william basinski (well, not "new" but..)
new eluvium
new weedeater
new pre (basically, anything skin graft released, except aids wolf)
new melt banana
new pan sonic
new oxbow

ALBUMS THAT DIDN'T LIVE UP TO MY EXPECTATIONS:
new future of the left (liked it at first but eh..)
new low
new radiohead (very meh)
new deerhoof (another one i liked at first)

ALBUMS THAT JUST SUCKED:
new sightings
new the locust (no surprise)
new les savy fav (how can such a talented band write such an embarassingly bland record?! jesus!)
new throbbing gristle (no surprise there either)
new tomahawk
new hella
new pelican
new queens of the stone age

That's all I can recall hearing this year that's considered new.

Luckily, the year's not over, and I'm expecting new Autechre and new Behold.. the Arctopus. Oh fuck, isn't a new Wire CD coming out too?!


HOLY FUCK DID YOU SAY NEW WIRE? FUCK YEAH!

Additions to my lists:

Between OK and great:
Neil Young - Chrome dreams II

OK: Sigur Rós - Hvarf / Heim (the DVD is surely much more interesting)

I haven't heard the new Bowie but apparently it sucks.

I don't think I listed rhys chatham "A criminal grail"; that did come out in 2007 right? If so, make that the best record of the year.

Seriously, everyone here go listen to Toddle. Every part of every song is a hook!

And yes.. Wire - Read and Burn 3 is out, and it's cool.

I'm listening to Read & Burn 3 and I'm feeling kind of disappointed. Even using Send as a reference point instead of their early stuff I'm disappointed. I'm not fond of the way it is mixed. It doesn't grip me the way that their other stuff does.

Magik Daggers-Black Diamonds EP
Deadchovsky-Spiritus Sancti Bizarre
Angels Of Light-We Are Him
Naked On The Vague-Blood Pressure Sessions
Chromatics-IV
Glass Candy-Beatbox
