My Adjusted Top 10 Albums Of 2007

I rated my Top 10 Albums for The Cord last week, but since I only had a couple hours to review and rate 365 days worth of great new music, I have decided to make a few changes. So here is my new list, enjoy!

1. Ratatat - Remixes Vol.2
It’s no mystery that I’m crazy about Ratatat. This mixtape of rap and hip-hop remixes are spectacularly revamped, only further fueling my love affair with the rocktronic duo. You’re probably thinking, “It can’t get any better than this.” Well it can, and it has! It’s free. Get it at www.ratatatmusic.com … get it now. Like, right now. Now. Do it.

2. Justice - Cross
It's kind of what would happen if the Chemical Brothers had a baby with Ratatat, and that baby's name was Justice.

3. Dragonette - Galore
So many piping hot tracks! I love this album, I feel like it could easily be a soundtrack for a bitchin' movie or play... it's very theatrical.

4. Elliott Smith - New Moon
Obviously, this isn’t “new” music, but the tracks spread across the two discs are great. He may be gone, but it's amazing that his music is still living on and it's better than ever. Really great acoustic guitar tracks. It's like a heartbroken From a Basement on a Hill.

5. Daft Punk - Alive 2007
Harder, better, faster, stronger... but actually.


6. LCD Soundsystem – Sound of Silver
This is a really uplifting album for me; it’s a really great mix of sounds to fit whatever musical mood I’m feeling.

7. Caribou – Andorra
I saw Dan Snaith at Starlight back in September, and it was one of the most amazing shows I’ve ever seen. The album is equally as mind-blowing.

8. Radiohead - In Rainbows
Really clean and polished compared to their last couple of albums, but equally as brilliant. I really like it when musicians take the time to do an album right.

9. Les Savy Fav – Let’s Stay Friends
After a six-year hiatus, it’s nice to hear from LSF again. The album kind of has an all-star cast, with contributions from Metric’s Emily Haines and The Unicorn’s Nick Thornburn. Welcome back, friends.

10. Feist – The Reminder
I wish I was her. That’s all.
