Lazlo's Top 25 Albums of 2007
It's that time of year again, and below is my top 25 albums of 2007. As with previous years, let me make the following comments before you see my list: I hate doing these things, for several reasons: 1. I have changed this list several times in the past week, and looking at it now, there are still changes I could make. My favorite anything tends to change regularly depending on what I'm in the mood for, so ultimately, the list below is a snapshot of what I liked from 2007 at the particular moment that I finalized the list. 2. It's totally subjective. The list below is strictly my opinion, and does my opinion mean more than anyone else's? To some, maybe, to me, I'm just another music fan making a list. I think it would be very cool to have people reply to me with their own top 25 list of albums for this year, so I hope some of you do that. 3. My list is only comprised of albums I've actually listened to from beginning to end. Thousands upon thousands of albums come out each year, and I maybe get to listen to a thousand or so albums in a year, so there are likely many good albums I haven't had the chance to listen to. So take the list below for what it is, my opinion of my favorite albums of the year, at a moment in time, that I've had the opportunity to listen to. 1. The Winter Sounds - porcelain empire 2. The Milwaukees - American anthems vol. 1 3. VHS Or Beta - bring on the comets 4. The Chilling Details - innerdialogue 5. The Mother Hips - kiss the crystal flake 6. Ozomatli - don't mess with the dragon 7. Paul Sanchez - between friends 8. The Successful Failures - ripe for the burning 9. The Future Kings Of Nowhere - The Future Kings Of Nowhere 10. Big Head Todd & The Monsters - all the love you need 11. Critical Me - promised land 12. West Indian Girl - 4th & wall 13. Drew & The Medicinal Pen - dream, dream, fail, repeat 14. Citizens Band Radio - CBR 15. The Go - howl on the haunted beat you ride 16. Beatallica - Sgt. Hetfield's motorbreath pub band 17. Readymade Breakup - isn't that what it's for? 18.
