Boring choice maybe but i absolutely love this album, my favourite KOL album yet actually which is saying a lot as the first two are great as well. Saw them live earlier this year as well and they were excellent.
People say im paranoid. Well, they dont say it, but i know that's what they are thinking.
i would've said neon bible until i heard this new radiohead album, i like the into the wild soundtrack as well, but i can't really say it's the best of the year, or even close for that matter.
I'd say right now my favourate album would be 'Fields - Everything Last Winter' but I'm really enojoying the new Band of Horses album so that may in the running after i've listened to it some more.
Not been a great year for albums for me, alot of stuff been a letdown in various degrees like NIN, Pumpkins, New Pornographers, Silverchair, Arcade Fire, Powderfinger, Modest Mouse.

Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V
For me, its between Fear of a Blank Planet and In Rainbows....
Mojo
"A consistently good band works all the different elements well. A song has to appeal sentimentally, intellectually, physically, viscerally, and dig deep down into your soul and suck you into it. And after that, of course, it'd be a matter of taste." ~ Kim Thayil from Soundgarden

“Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies — ‘God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.’” - Kurt Vonnegut
i got that ^^ album after stumbling upon its universal acclaim as one of the best albums of 2007. i was thoroughly disappointed. i think it's a piece of shit. :mad: fucking music critics
