Continuing with some 2007 re-visiting for my 2007 top 10. These are not necessarily top 10 contenders, some are just items from my collection I feel like re-visiting no matter what.

Radiohead - In Rainbows (2007)
I like this quite a bit but sometimes it feels too sad. Couple of really excellent songs though, "15 Step" and "All I Need".

Band of Horses - Cease to Begin (2007)
I've never liked the opener of this album, "Is There a Ghost". I don't hate it, just don't like it. But I enjoy the rest as much as their debut.

Hot Cross - Risk Revival (2007)
For a while this was my favorite album of 2007. I'm far less into screamo these days but I still enjoy it, since it's as much post-hardcore as screamo to me. Like At the Drive-In, for example.

Not Breathing - The Black Old Pueblo (2007)
Wow, 7 years later and I'm still the only one that's rated this on RYM. At least it has a good rating as a result. IDM with electro-industrial tendencies, very good.

Menomena - Friend and Foe (2007)
First album I heard from them, back in 2007, but I like their latest album Moms best.

of Montreal - Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? (2007)
That long song in the middle - "The Past Is a Grotesque Animal" - is such a drag and feels like an album closer. I otherwise like much of the album.

Other Men - Wake Up Swimming (2007)
Resurrection of Rob Crow's pre-Pinback band Heavy Vegetable. Sounds like a more upbeat, mathy Pinback without Zach Smith's great bass playing and backing vocals. Good stuff.

Of course it is.

After all, what did that documentary say? "Either Of Montreal is your favorite band of all time or you've never heard of them before."

Today was a day of jazz-rap and expiremental hip-hop for me I love it!!!

Clipping - Midcity
Weird, expiremental hip-hop. Harsh white noise beats with great flow, a must hear for anyone into this kind of stuff.

Death Grips - Exmilitary
I'm sure most people here have heard of Death Grips. This is another expiremental hip-hop group who have recently split up. Check out Exmilitary awesome mixtape.

Tyler, The Creator - Bastard
I can't say how much I love this alb enough every track for me is a classic, in the beats, lyrics, story, it all flows just so damn well.

MF DOOM - Operation: Doomsday
The classic underground hip-hop album from famed rapper/producer Daniel Dumile (a.k.a MF DOOM). A definite listen.

King Crimson - In The Wake of Poseidon

I was listening to this on the bus ride home from work. Holy **** do I love this album. It's been a long time since I even attempted to listen to it, and even those attempts weren't a full listen of the album. It's damn good and i'm happy to say i'll be returning to this album very soon.

My Dejà Vú tape arrived in the mail yesterday, took it on the highway this morning, absolutely beautiful as always.
The tape feels much bassier than versions I've heard in the past, lucky the cassette deck has a trusty bass slider.

Iron Reagan - Tyranny of the Will

remember when hardcore thrash crossover was cool?

thats right it never stopped being cool

great side project from the Municipal Waste front man....seriously fun mix of thrash metal with hardcore anthems....nothing like a vocalist starting off a video with a Slayer "Seasons in the Abyss" shirt and ending it with a Gorilla Biscuits "Hold Your Ground" shirt

Spoiler for Piss off you parents!:

Hammerhead - Global Depression

i don't understand why Hammerhead does not get more praise here....they are quintessential noise rock

this is perfect.

I've listened to it twice now and have to admit I'm a bit underwhelmed by it so far. 6/10 at the most as of today.

And as long as I'm here...
