All i know is that our love to admire by interpol will destroy any non-metal album this year.

All signs point to 'No'.

The vast majority of albums I've listened to this year are metal but here a couple non-metal releases I really enjoy:

God Module "Let's Go Dark"
Marilyn Manson "Eat Me, Drink Me"

And potential Album of the Year?
London After Midinght "Violent Acts of Beauty" ...when it comes out, soon I hope!
Basically my second fav. band of all-time I'd think, hopefull its as good as the previous two (amazing) albums, I don't think it will top them though, first album since 1996!

Also looking forward to the Genitorturer's new album, since it is supposed to continue where "Sin City" left off, and what a great album that was, first album since 1998!

I keep trying to get into Blackfield because Porcupine Tree are great and so many people praise Blackfield but still.. lots of it just sounds awful to me. :[

I didn't mind Blackfield II. Certainly preferred it to Fear of a Blank Planet. That will go down as the biggest disappointment of 07 without a doubt. Generic prog rock by a band who should know better.

 

[challenge_everything]

How can you say that?

Because like their other albums, it will be boring, simplistic, unmemorable 80s revivalism.

It sounds nothing like the 80's. The closest sounding band to them is joy divison only becuase ian's voice sounds somewhat similar to paul banks' voice.

Peoples musical differences couldnt be farther apart on this thread....thats the beauty of it I guess. FOABP is THE album of the year for me. Ive had It for 2 months now and still playing it nonstop. They played it from start-finish the last time I seen them at beginning of this month and It was fucking legendary.

Great way to look at things.

I really suggest that everyone pick up the new interpol album.

 

[Captain]

Dinosaur Jr's new album is excellent. Might be my favorite album of the year all together.
