Author Topic: In Retrospect - Album of the Year 2007 - Nomination Phase (Read 3932 times)

Dr. DTVT · « **on:** April 27, 2011, 09:21:17 PM »

Rules n' such:

Post your top 5 albums from 2007, order doesn't matter.
You may list fewer if you would like / don't know enough of the albums.
If you list runners up, list them UNDER your five nominations
List the band name first, uniformity helps me greatly in compiling lists
If you change your mind, just edit your post. Don't repost, or quote your old post. Just fix it.
OST's with a single artist and live albums are allowed. Best of albums and compilations are not.
Posts that can't follow these simple rules will not be counted.

Nomination phase would last 2 days, but I'll be out of town this weekend. I probably won't get around to this until Sunday night.

Another insanely hard year for me. These aren't necessarily my 5 favorite albums, I'm leaving "Mystery - Beneath the Veil of Winter's Face" simply because I'm pretty sure the only other person aware of this band doesn't participate in these (Nick).

Amorphis - Silent Waters
BTBAM - Colors
The Dear Hunter - Act II
Devin Townsend - Ziltoid
Vanishing Point - The Fourth Season (I'll be surprised if anyone other than Wolfking nominates this)

Oh my god, this is hands down my favorite year in music.

1. Oceansize - Frames
2. Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet
3. Radiohead - In Rainbows
4. Between the Buried and Me - Colors
5. Ulver - Shadows of the Sun

Man that was hard.
I wanted to nominate The Alchemy Index, but I always count those 2 albums as one 4-divided album, and in a contest like this I'm assuming that it's Fire/Water being judged, and to me that's just half of the album, therefor Ulver got the last spot instead.
I also wanted to nominate Riverside, but it wasn't room for it.

Mason, just to make sure you're aware, those nominating Thrice's The Alchemy Index are in fact only nominating Vols I & II: Fire and Water. Vols III and IV came out in 2008.

Hey mate, so good to see some Vanishing Point application. This just missed out on my top 5, a wonderful album, but Embrace the Silence was perfect and difficult to follow up. Seriously amazing melodic prog band.

I have seen no mention of Nightwish besides my own, even in the runner-up lists. Kinda strikes me as odd because they are well liked around here.
