DARKESTRAH - Epos

disclaimer: this is probably the best album of 2007

Sleepytime Gorilla Museum is still my #1 for the year, although it's getting some fierce competition from Blotted Science at this point.

 

[Reign in Acai]

It's a toss up between...

Imindain - And the Living Shall Envy the Dead
Mael Mordha - Gealtacht Mael Mórdha

I still haven't come to a definitive conclusion yet. I have like 3 or so way tie.

When I'm elected King, I'm going to outlaw any "Best of Year X" discussions until we're six months into Year X+1. Just because your copy of Cosmo says "January 2008" on it, that doesn't mean it's 2008!

I still want to bother you guys though, so I'll post the 2007 album I've listened to the most this far, which may or may not end up being the "best":

Heh, thing is Epos is possibly(!) my fave of the year so far, but it's no August Engine, Mabool, Verisakeet, or Watching from a Distance. I'm farily certain the true winner of 2007 has yet to rear it's ugly face.

I'll decide later/never.

I have no fucking idea.

I know I have a bunch of 07 albums around here somewhere and even like some of them a lot, but nothing has totally grabbed me by the balls and not let go ala Warning in 06. (edit: actually in early 07)

Dude, you need to listen to Mammatus. They are so up your alley.

You sent me the album, and I've spun it a couple of times and it did sound pretty good!

Will pay closer attention next time 'round.

 

[Krilons Resa]

I did? lol

 

[Chromatose]

The s/t is better than the new one, I currently think, but the new one is still totally rockin', top 10 material for sure.

 

[Krilons Resa]

The s/t is better than the new one,

I disagree.

 

[Chromatose]

I'm sure it's a grower, it's more varied and textural than the previous album.

If you didn't, who did?

 

[Krilons Resa]

It was me.

Yeah, I didnt like it much at first, then I learned to love it. It takes time to absorb imo.
