Top 5 Albums (pre 2008)

1. Midlake - The Trials of Van Occupanther
Simply outstanding. Why did I not buy this in 2006? That's 2 years of my life wasted.

2. Justice - Cross
Daft Punk must be gutted. These guys have made an anthemic, spiritual and vital record for our times.

3. Burial - Untrue
This album sneaked into 2007 otherwise it would have been high on this years favourites. Urban Britain condensed into 51.2 minutes.

4. Whiskeytown - Pneumonia
Ryan Adams gets ready to be incredible.

5. Josh Ritter - The Historical Conquests of.....
He has been on my radar for a while but this album is the best of his I have bought...

Notable Mentions:
Once (Sountrack)
Iron & Wine - The Shepherd's Dog
Ron Sexsmith - Ron Sexsmith
Ryan Adams - Love is Hell
Doris Day - The Christmas Album (awesome!)
The National - Boxer
