[kj] OT: End of the Year! Post your BEST OF lists

[Leigh Newton]

They're one of my favourite bands so it's hard for me to be objective without gushing like an idiot. But yeah, they fucking killed it. Really heavy and loud. 2 drummers these days. Their new stuff features a lot of 2 and 3 part vocal harmony and it was spot-on when I saw them. They've got tons of albums so lots to check out if you are so inclined. I suggest starting with Houdini or Stag or (a) Senile Animal.

What were the Melvins like...? Got the chance to see them opening for
 Tool
few years back but got there too late...duh. Have wanted to make up for
 that
since...Buzz is credited with popularizing drop D (so is Kim Thayil but
 he's
honest enough to say that Buzz showed it to him):

 stuffed
formatting, doesn't wrap properly)

My fave albums that "dropped" in the '07.


1) Bloody Panda - Pheromone
2) The Locust - New Erections
3) Melt Banana - Bambi's Dilemma
4) Radiohead - In Rainbows
5) M.I.A. - Kala

15) Blut Aus Nord - Odinist: The Destruction of Reason by Illumination

Also, let's not forget an honourable mention to the albums that came
 out
this year that I thought might be awesome 
but just left me feeling a little deflated and sad:

High On Fire - Death Is This Communion
Dillinger Escape Plan - Ire Works (I actually do enjoy this one a lot
 more
than I thought I would. Still, it 
doesn't quite make the grade)
Baroness - The Red Album
The Young Gods - Super Ready/Fragmente
Justice - "cross"
Battles - Mirrored
Pig Destroyer - Phantom Limb

Also got to see Slayer TWICE, Jesu (twice too!), Skinny Puppy, Melvins,
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Secret Chiefs 3, among other less
 notables....

Not a terrible year for music and it's involvement in my life.
