Clap Your Hands Say Yeah has sunk it's claws in me DEEEEP the past couple of weeks.

I'll second the nods to Illinois and Gimme Fiction as well. The Stars album I just got a hold of, but already agree it should be way higher on the list.

It's one of my favorites of the year thus far regardless of official release date.

 

[BigRobb]

My favorites in no order.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! (this is probably what i think is the best of the year)
Part Chimp - I Am Come
Sleater-Kinney - The Woods
The Boy Least Likely to - The Best Party Ever
Bloc Party - Silent Alarm
The Mars Volta - Frances the Mute
Wolf Parade - Apologies to the Queen Mary

As for some of the other albums mentioned here.

Sufjan Stevens - Illinois : I can see why some people think its so good, but I don't think its that great. a bit to long also.
The Decemberists - Picaresque : I like this album, but there is just some albums released that are better.

 

[Naga]

Audioslave, Foo Fighers

all the other new stuff i got this year is quite old

the new Tool cd is due w/in the next 2 months ( according to consistent rumors)

I also have Lost Horizons, and I can vouch for it as well, though don't expect the same sound.

Spoon was a disappointment to me.

TMV is decent at best.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - I would like it so much more if the voice wasn't so annoying to me.

New Pornographers - Thief! Probably my second favorite indie band, behind Pinback. Can't wait for this one!

Gorillaz put out a good album, though not quite up to the S/T standards.

Dream Theater was good, but the Muse rip-offs got tiring.

I'm highly anticipating Sigur Rós and Boards this fall.

 

[false]

So far only one stand out for me so far...

Engineers - Engineers

I'm sure the new BOC will be on my list though when it comes out in October.

The Magic Numbers shouldn't be there. 8. Stars should be much higher. 9. Mountain Goats should be top 5. And that's all that I can think of, not including the 10 or so records on that list that I haven't even heard.

So if Spoon is 2nd or 3rd, where does that place Robbers on High Street?

I mean, they sound exactly alike...

[Homeless]

my favourites so far, not in any order...

Queens of the Stoneage - Lullabies to Paralize
Foo Fighters - In Your Honor
Gorillaz - Demon Days
System of a Down - Mezmerize
Weezer - Make Believe
The White Stripes - Get Behind Me Satan
Sufjan Stevens - Illinois

 

[adhoc]

gorillaz - demon days
super furry animals - love kraft
sufjan steven - illinoise
spoon - fiction
the decemberists - picaresque

imo:

sleater kinney = noise, noise, noise!
bloc party = so-so after repeated listens
the bravery = ugh after repeated listens
clap your hands say yeah = for lack of a better word, nonsensical

 

[lastdodobird]

i'm loving illinoise!

next up for me is Picturesque and Gimme Fiction

 

[Dusty Chalk]

Some of mine:

Supersystem - Always Never Again
Black Mountain
Electrelane - Axes
Matt Elliott - Drinking Songs
Garbage - Bleed Like Me
Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth
Mice Parade - Obrigado Saudade

Haven't heard but one track from Jesu yet, but it sounds good!

 

[sapphiremodena]

By far and away: Illinios by Sufjan Stevens. Just saw him last night in concert and it was really fun. The whole set was songs from Illinois. And I got this cool green shirt that says 'come on feel the Illinoise.'

I also like Bright Eye's two albums, preferring 'Digital' over 'Morning.'

I'm looking forward to new Broken Social Scene (rumours of a double album?), Death Cab for Cutie, Sigur Ros, and Matthew Good.

Also I've been meaning to check out Spoon's Gimme Fiction for a while now.

 

[proglife]

No order (lots of agreement here):

Sufjan Stevens - Illinois
The Evens - s/t
Bright Eyes - I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning
Six Organs of Admittance - School of the Flower
Spoon - Gimme Fiction
Low - The Great Destroyer
The Books - Lost and Safe
Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks - Face The Truth
LCD Soundsystem - s/t
Smog - A River Ain't Too Much To Love
Stars - Set Yourself On Fire
Brothers Past -This Feelings Called Goodbye

I'm just getting to know Oneida's "The Wedding"...that's really good.
