A steadier rhythm and more obvious melodies, though it's the keyboards that make this album for me. They're craaaaaaaaaaazy. Maybe the best thing I've heard this year. Just maybe.

Modest Mouse - We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank
Release Date: March 20, 2007
Modest Mouse is killing me. I was praying for a return to their old sound. Didn't happen. But I still like this dancy catchy accessible bullshit. Stop playing with my feelings Modest Mouse.

Arcade Fire - Neon Bible
Release Date: March 6, 2007
Less emotion. Less epic. Still somehow really good. Just don't start comparing to Funeral. "No Cars Go" rocks so hard.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Some Loud Thunder
Release Date: January 30, 2007
A little less straightforward, and Ounsworth does that voice cracking thing a bit more...but I like it. Some pretty sweet hooks in there.

Deerhoof - Friend Opportunity
Release Date: January 23, 2007
This album pisses me off. The first 24 minutes are so sweet and brilliant, but the last song, which takes up a third of the entire album, is so sprawling and stupid that it leaves a bad taste.

Bloc Party - A Weekend In the City
Release Date: February 6, 2007
I just vomited. Haha, what did you expect me to say? To tell you the truth, I only listened to the first three songs. And then I vomited.

The Shins - Wincing the Night Away
Release Date: January 23, 2007
It's like they took that famous Shins sound and added and expanded on it...making a Super-Shins sound. Well worth the long wait, Kevin Spacey.
