BEST OF 2007 - The Top 20 albums
New Noise
The votes are in and no amount of determinedly left-field fixing could shift the winner from the top spot. Please put your hands together for...
"For a year that started full of puff and prattle about nu-rave, our top 20 seems to defy, rather than define, genre boundaries."
A few weeks back when we asked our writers to nominate their choices for album of the year, 2007 felt like a bit of a wash out. Now, with the votes in and counted, looking down our top 20 tells a different story. Sure, the class of 2005 might have let us down with their sophomore efforts (or perhaps it was just our own unreasonable expectations that let us down), but in their place came an understated rash of excellent albums from more established artists.
Where Bloc Party shot just shy of the mark, LCD Soundsystem, Radiohead and Les Savy Fav all returned with some of their finest ever material. The National continued to find emotion in the mundane, while Kings Of Leon, Biffy Clyro and Band Of Horses all ratcheted up the pop levels and the album sales to match.
In the end, perhaps the most noticeable thing about 2007 was the absence of a defining sound. For a year that started full of puff and prattle about nu-rave, our top 20 seems to defy, rather than define, genre boundaries. Sure, !!!, Justice, Digitalism and LCD Soundsytem might all have capitalised on dance beats, but elsewhere, Every Time I Die keep the hardcore flame burning, Silversun Pickups pull off an eminently listenable Smashing Pumpkins impression and MIA stitches together sounds from just about everywhere.
It's left to our album of the year - Klaxons' 'Myths Of The Near Future' - to prove the point. Far from slotting into a new genre - be it nu-rave or any other - this is an album that drinks down influences like a tramp minesweeping a New Year party, its twists and turns so pumped full of energy, when it's over, you've really only one option - play it again.
Rather than being disappointing, 2007 ends up looking more like a reflection of the try-before-you-buy breadth of the modern music scene and proves that, even if the mainstream disappoints, there's plenty of greatness out there. You just have to look a little harder and that might be no bad thing.
And so here, complete with the comments - both good and bad - of those of our writers who could be bothered to pass judgement on the final list, is our top 20 for 2007, starting with the uncontested winners of Absolutely Everything This Year, the mighty Klaxons...
| 1. Klaxons | Myths of the Near Future | |
 Buy this on Amazon | "Nu-rave: what a ridiculous pile of old bollocks. The ultimate all-encompassing, self-parodying term of the last six months; a linguistic safety net that seemingly takes in any band the NME chooses that week who happen to have an electronic beat somewhere in the mix; a desperate, faddish attempt to create a ‘scene’ to sell back to the kids for £1.99 a week..." New Noise, 29 January 2007 |
Forget the nu-rave tag (they have!) and concentrate instead on the manifold day-glo nuggets of pop perfection.
David Evans
Shouldn't... like... this... but... I... kinda... do! Deserving props for using, and then swiftly trashing, the comedy concept of 'new rave' for their own ends (and suckering the press in), coming up with at least three really corking songs and simply for not sounding quite like everyone else out there.
Pete Flynn
Unfashionable to say so, but the sound of the year incarnate. [LCD Soundsystem's] 'Sound Of Silver' will age better, but 'Myths Of The Near Future' shouts, "TWO THOUSAND AND SEVEN!" louder than anyone else. For now, that's a good thing.
Matt Hill
Whereas this is already a future classic, taking the bold step of going where, errrm, many others had gone before (but doing it with much more neon orientated style), it was a deserved Mercury winner and soundtrack to the biggest parties of the year - just don't mention the glowsticks.
Lisa Holmes
The album of the year if you are 12 and stupid.
Tom Mendelsohn
A perfectly-timed cerebral glowstick renaissance for mind and body if not so much the soul. More post-punk than new rave and very probably a cynically calculated piece of marketing, but it certainly hit the spot.
Jim Merrett
It would be nice to be able to champion some brilliant, under-exposed band's under-rated new album as the best record of the year, but then there's a reason nearly every award going in 2007 now belongs to Klaxons. As annoying as the bandwagon jumping neon clad imbeciles following in their wake may be, you can't deny the innovation of their debut; the excitement of dance music that is actually about something, the thrill of indie music that isn't dreary Libertinesque pap, and the sheer joy of great melodies being heard once more.
Daniel Whelan
| 2. LCD Soundsystem | Sound of Silver | |
 Buy this on Amazon | "When James Murphy finally unleashed his debut album under the LCD Soundsystem name in 2005, some listeners complained that the best track was the three-year-old one at the start of the bonus CD. This is Murphy’s problem: in ‘Losing My Edge’, he created one of those rare debut singles so good it’s all but impossible to follow, like The Undertones’ ‘Teenage Kicks’ or The Beta Band’s ‘Dry The Rain’..." New Noise, 12 March 2007 |
David Evans
Absolutely dazzling. After the patchy debut that followed their scorching early hits, this felt like a far more complete and thoughtful record. Sharp and smart, with highlights as good as owt Murphy & co have done and better than most other bands manage in their lives.
Pete Flynn
Album of the year, without question, and far more organic and 'real' than his debut ever suggested he could be. This will top polls the world over, and with good reason. Add it to his excellent Nike mix '45:33', which finally got a physical release, and Murphy arguably cooked up two of the year's best.
Matt Hill
What at first sounds like a lightweight gateway to the first album grows to eclipse it – 2007 will prove a high tide mark for the cowbell industry.
Jim Merrett
| 3. The National | Boxer | |
 Buy this on Amazon | "A mate’s girlfriend once described listening to The National as like “falling over in slow motion”. She was talking about ‘Friend Of Mine’, from their outstanding 2005 album ‘Alligator’, but the comment applies tenfold to their latest full length release, ‘Boxer’. It’s not the least bit derogatory, but perfectly captures the album’s sad, slow beauty..." New Noise, 5 June 2007 |
Jon Fletcher
Broody doesn't come close. Exceptional band, finally getting the recognition they deserve.
Matt Hill
As near as dammit to perfection. Gets better the deeper you delve into its twisted world.
Jeremy Hodges
| 4. Every Time I Die | The Big Dirty | |
 Buy this on Amazon | "Last year Every Time I Die moaned to some US fanzine about the impact of Myspace on the punk rock scene. They whined that instead of touring every shithole up and down the country and across the world, all bands had to do to get the same exposure was get a Myspace page. It sounded like the bitter ranting of a band worried about being left behind by culturally homogenising technological progress..." New Noise, 27 August 2007 |
Nadeem Ali
It might be too soft for the scene police and too hard for the mainstream but this is the best thing these shitty dudes have ever done. In ten years time Every Time I Die will be the new AC/DC and you’ll be pretending you liked ‘The Big Dirty’ all along.
Simon Diplock
The clue is the title: awesome.
Laila Hassani
| 5. Arcade Fire | Neon Bible | |
 Buy this on Amazon | "Debut album 'Funeral' was a record that lashed hymnal melodies to crashing, frenetic, almost military beats and then set fire to the whole thing on stage with a live show that included violins, accordions and the regular assault of one or more of the band members with drumsticks. Still, for other purveyors of north american idiosyncratic warbling, there remained some hope. While 'Funeral' was superb, it had its rough edges...." New Noise, 12 March 2007 |
David Evans
It was a truly wonderful experience watching Win Butler out-miserabled by an Alexandra Palace crowd. For his endless appeals for a little bit of movement alone, we salute them.
Jon Fletcher
Another overrated album from a sadly overated band.
Laila Hassani
Decent follow-up to Funeral, if not quite the second coming of Christ that some silly musos professed. Still hard to escape the fact that it All. Sounds. The. Same.
Matt Hill
An album that seduced the world that's probably bigger than the sum of its parts, and all the better for it.
Jeremy Hodges
Literally, honestly, totally the most overblown, portentous, undeserving record of 2007, The Neon Bible is nothing but a dirge of rockstar-thick 'end of the world is nigh' lyrics set to droning, cacophanous sweeps of arrangements in search of a tune. In a very real way, this is the sound of a world gone mad.
Tom Mendelsohn
Preachy second outing that’s got enough decent tracks to stop you noticing it is nowhere near as good as the debut. For a while.
Jim Merrett
Darker, eerie and even more exquisite than ‘Funeral’ this album marks a move away from their debut whilst keeping the sense frantic sense of urgency that made it so appealing. One that gets better with every listen.
Charlotte Otter
| 6. Burial | Untrue | |
 Buy this on Amazon | "Mood, so often important to our homegrown dance music (the stuff that lasts, anyway), has rarely been so forceful or effective. Burial’s second album ‘Untrue’ is undeniably of its time and for its time, creating a sound that whispers of the surreal, insomniac/post-club feeling of 4am city life with its wailing sirens, pirate radio, background mobile hum and badly lit estates..." New Noise, 12 November 2007 |
David Evans
Sonically, the equal of its predecessor but with a few more shafts of light to it and spiced with occasional eerie splashes of rave-like euphoria that seep through unexpectedly. Still absoutely out on his own musically, with the terrifying prospect there could be even greater to come.
Pete Flynn
| 7. Radiohead | In Rainbows | |
 Buy this on Amazon | "If there's anyone who likes getting excited about very minimal gestures, it's the Radiohead hardcore. We don't quite remember everyone getting so excited when the Smashing Pumpkins did it first seven years ago with 'Machina 2'. And Corgan & Co never felt the need to follow it up with a £40 'deluxe box set' in time for Christmas either…..." New Noise, 11 October 2007 |
Jon Fletcher
Perhaps their least instant record, and most unexpected (not just for its sudden arrived), yet their warmest-sounding and possibly the one that in time may yield the most from repeated listens. Annoyingly, it almost feels like they're holding back...
Pete Flynn
It may have taken a clever marketing ploy to make us notice, but Radiohead actually became relevant again. That was only three albums wasted, then…
Matt Hill
Subdued and boring since 1997. That's an entire decade, and I wish I hadn't paid £3 for this.
Tom Mendelsohn
‘Changing the face of the record industry’ hyperbole aside, it is possible to get addicted to a record? Yorke’s distinctive voice and the intricate melodies that weave around it – they keep coming back to me whenever I try and listen to anything else. This is by far my favourite album of the year.
Charlotte Otter
The only other band to challenge Klaxons' dominance as band of the year, but that's more down to the method of distribution of 'In Rainbows' than anything musical Radiohead have achieved. That said, it's easily their best record in a decade - and there's no reason why you shouldn't at least give it a chance - it's FREE.
Daniel Whelan
| 8. Cold War Kids | Robbers & Cowards | |
 Buy this on Amazon | "This all makes it sound depressing and, well, it kind of is. But there is humour on this album, and it never crosses that line of taking itself so seriously that you just want to laugh. There are moments of release, not least recent single ‘Hang Me Out To Dry’ – which isn’t exactly chipper, but it does have a wry edge – and final track ‘Roubidoux’, which has a cathartic energy..." New Noise, 5 February 2007 |
David Evans
If you could bottle that voice, it'd be bigger than Coke.
Jon Fletcher
One of the finds of the year. Cracking singles, wonderful atmosphere and a voice that beats Jack White at his own blues-soaked game… who said Christian rock sucks?
Matt Hill
Following in the footsteps of the great American storytellers, Willett and co. have given us an album of rare beauty and devastating intensity.
Jeremy Hodges
One song does NOT an album of the year make, clothears.
Tom Mendelsohn
| 9. Les Savy Fav | Let's Stay Friends | |
 Buy this on Amazon | "'Missing out on cashing in for over a decade,' declares the band’s website. This statement pretty much sums up one of the most underrated rock groups of the last decade. Having evolved from Pixies-esque alt-rockers into sleek disco-punkers, Les Savy Fav then disappeared just as sleek disco-punk became super-fashionable. Their last album proper ‘Go Forth’ was a flawed work that missed as much as it hit." New Noise, 24 September 2007 |
Nadeem Ali
Not as smart as everyone makes out they are, in fact this sounds like the The Hives at times, but Les Savy Fav could start a party anywhere, at any time.
Simon Diplock
This was the year that everyone caught on. And never was a band so deserving.
Matt Hill
Let’s pretend we all knew about this band years ago and own their back catalogue, because we are so cool - instead of just picking up on this album with its catchy riffs and excellent lyrics – a damn fine example of why sometimes the yanks just do it so much better (and that includes the beard).
Lisa Holmes
Who would have thought 2007 would see Les Savy Fav break out of cultdom and into the mainstream? It's little wonder, though, considering how good this dense record is - 'The Equestrian', 'What Would Wolves Do?' and 'Raging in the Plague Age' makes it worth the price alone.
Jenny Perkin
| 10. Silversun Pickups | Carnavas | |
 Buy this on Amazon | "If you’ve been waiting for a new version of the Smashing Pumpkins - but this time with added melody, texture, rhythm and ultimately panache - then all your prayers have been answered. With subject matter running a vast gambit of dark and light topics, there is a slightly aggressive pop ethic to this record..." New Noise, 1 June 2007 |
Matt Hill
A really lovely, melodic album, but when copying The Smashing Pumpkins makes for one of the best albums of the year, you can't say it's been a good year.
Tom Mendelsohn
One of the best debut albums we've heard in a while, there's not one bad song on this scuzzy gem. Bittersweet melodies meet fuzzed guitar to make for heartbreaking tunes you can rock out to.
Jenny Perkin
| 11. Biffy Clyro | Puzzle | |
 Buy this on Amazon | "When a band return to the fore with a record that immediately set’s them further apart in terms of class and style, it revitalises optimism in a brighter musical heritage for the future than a quick scan through the airwaves would otherwise have you believe. Biffy Clyro’s fourth album is just this; a welcome and long overdue breath of fresh air. ..." New Noise, 21 May 2007 |
Simon Diplock
A brilliant album, but Biffy have always had more potential than they've been given credit for.
Laila Hassani
The noise of a band ready to play Wembley Stadium - which they then did. They may have unfortunately outgrown their experimental, abrasive past, but as mainstream-rock-with-a-tendency-for-overwrought-ballad records go, it was a corker.
Matt Hill
Chest-beating pub grunge; bizarrely popular, presumably amongst idiot coteries.
Tom Mendelsohn
| 12. !!! | Myth Takes | |
 Buy this on Amazon | "It’s not enough to merely ‘not get’ !!! – Chk Chk Chk for those crying into Google about now – because this simply doesn’t make sense. Were this multi-legged white funk-rock disco machine operating outta Bolton not Brooklyn, we could all smugly tick the updated Madchester revival box, laugh heartily, then go back to whatever menial shit we were doing..." New Noise, 8 March 2007 |
Our very own Adam Anonymous got this all wrong - and his review couldn't have been further off. The funkiest, freshest slice of dance-rock this side of The Rapture and played more times by my good self this year than any other records - just ask Last.fm.
Matt Hill
Post-punk disco funk dance floor apocalypse that finally captures the frantic gurning live show on record. Relentless and superb.
Jim Merrett
| 13. Justice | † | |
 Buy this on Amazon | "Even if you don’t know who they are, you’ll have heard some of Justice’s work. They were responsible for the entirely excellent remix of Simian’s ‘Never Be Alone’, and have since popped up all over the place, slyly dropping grievously hip remixes on all the best 7”s. While this aspect of their oeuvre is popular in all the right places, the Gallic duo have so far been fairly unforthcoming with their own material. They’ve released an EP, portentously titled ‘Waters Of Nazareth’, which was a gloomy affair, if well made, but other than that, the baying public hasn’t really had the chance to grasp the measure of their men. UNTIL NOW..." New Noise, 8 June 2007 |
Simon Diplock
The Daft Punk comparisons weren't as accurate as was first thought, as this is way harder, faster and dance-floor shuddering than anything the conjoined robotic twins have ever delivered. Plus 'Genesis' is undoubtedly the album opener of the year.
Matt Hill
The most disappointing album of the year, if anything.
Tom Mendelsohn
Like Bill Hicks suggested, if Jesus returned to earth, the Christian church’s reappropriation of the crucifix would have spooked him. This album would have scared the, er, bejesus out of him. Excellent stuff.”
Jim Merrett
| 14. Kings Of Leon | Because Of The Times | |
 Buy this on Amazon | "'Aha Shake Heartbreak' may have blown open the doors of fame for Kings of Leon, but their third full-length album (named for a United Pentecostal Church ministers' conference) could well usher the Nashville foursome directly to rock and roll's zenith. There's hardly a change in plans for the three Followill brothers and their cousin, and that means producer Ethan Johns, a smorgasbord of musical influences, and a cacophonous ensemble of guitar, bass, and drums. Amazon |
Jon Drake
Dull in parts, great in others, and a corking single that could have been Soundgarden. The latter was enough for me.
Matt Hill
The only band in the world right now who get better and better with each album. Flawless from beginning to end.
Jeremy Hodges
This album is the bastard love child of The Pixies and Lynrd Skynyrd, a match made in heaven i think you'll agree. More importantly this is their third album and it shows a band who are on peak form; a true contender for a future classic.
Lisa Holmes
How does each Kings Of Leon album end up being better than the one before? At this rate, they will have enslaved humankind around about album seven.
Jim Merrett
People can argue to the death that their first record was the best but KOL never grabbed me until now. This record feels edgier yet more polished which all adds up to some good harmless fun – highlights being killer opener 'Knocked Up' and the Pixies-esque 'Charmer'.
Jenny Perkin
| 15. MIA | Kala | |
 Buy this on Amazon | "World music – it should mean something for everyone. Instead, for too long this phrase has been in the hands of unkept white middle class beard-growers with a love of hemp kaftans and a slight whiff of joss stick about them. Then along came Sri Lanka-born Londoner M.I.A. and pissed on their yurt. Woo yeah..." New Noise, 31 August 2007 |
David Evans
Frustratingly starts in a such flurry of deadliness, but then fades to the point you almost forget you stuck it on until 'Come Around' turns up with its classic old-school Timbaland hook. Still, on this form the next album will be superb.
Pete Flynn
Viewing world music through a kaleidoscope. Where Bhangra, Bollywood, grime, The Clash and Timbaland collide. New world order, indeed.
Jim Merrett
| 16. Shellac | Excellent Italian Greyhound | |
 Buy this on Amazon | "There is no band like Shellac, and there are very few bands you can truly say that of. For many a fanboy and girl out there, this release will have marked the first time in awhile that they’ve rushed to a real live record shop salivating at the prospect of having a hard copy product in their hands. This reviewer found herself wishing that she still had a CD player instead of a useless MP3 player on which to listen to the album in the interim tube ride from the CD store to a computer..." New Noise, 8 June 2007 |
Pete Flynn
The return of the tightest three piece in rock after a seven year absence proves just how much we've missed them; with their minimalist precision they are as menacing as ever and blow all the pretenders out of the water. The chilling 'The End of Radio' is a contender for song of the year.
Jenny Perkin
| 17. Bogdan Raczynski | Alright! | |
 Buy this on Amazon | "A truly inspired collection of 90's rave sounds interspersed with ballad electro; all brought into the modern age..." discogs |
Pete Flynn
| 18. Anberlin | Cities | |
 Buy this on Amazon | "You know those times when you are on the lookout for something exciting and enthralling? If you are reading this, you are probably looking for just that; a new thrill, a new band to worship and adore, a new noise. Anberlin, well, they may just be that band. When you hear them, you’ll wonder how you ever did without them..." New Noise, 5 September 2007 |
Laila Hassani
| 19. Band Of Horses | Cease To Begin | |
 Buy this on Amazon | "Gah! NN is in serious trouble. Every time we play ‘Cease To Begin’, we get the irresistible urge to go and hug fat strangers, french-kiss work colleagues and ruffle young children’s hair. Imagine our horror then when our childlike, clinically obese line manager walked by last Tuesday..." New Noise, 28 September 2007 |
Laila Hassani
Epic in its proportions emotionally charged in its content. The world would be a lesser place without these simple country folk to enrich our lives.
Jeremy Hodges
| 20. Digitalism | Idealism | |
 Buy this on Amazon | "Although it's still early days for the Hamburg-based duo, with just three EPs under their belt (released on the Franco-Japanese label Kitsuné, and featuring 'Zdarlight', one of last year's hottest club anthems) plus several critically acclaimed remixes (of tunes by Depeche Mode, Klaxons and Daft Punk, among others) and a series of organic live performances, Digitalism has built itself a solid reputation and stands ready to ride the new electro wave..." Amazon |
Jon Drake
While everyone was buying the Justice album, this German pair were beating them at their own game. A proper dance 'album', rather than a collection of singles, which is a rarity to be cherished.
Matt Hill
Germans muscling in on Justice’s territory. And largely getting it right – except for the singing bits.
Jim Merrett

Agreed, Tom, everyone thinks you're a twat. No-one cares about you or your opinions, come up with something funny and witty in your reviews it would be easier on the eyes. If you dislike music this much then I suggest you find yourself a new job.

Hear hear, was thinking exactly the same. To be a 'critic', you need to have positive and negative extremes. As far as I can see with this Mendolsehn tosser, he hates everything. Yawn. Maybe you should start reviewing food, or masturbating, or something you actually enjoy for a change.

It annoys me when people idolise their own opinion - you may not agree but Tom's obviously not been impressed this year. I think Patty Wolf's Magic Number was clearly better than anything on this list, it doesn't even appear but I'm not going to hold it against anyone, except Fletcher. What is it about internet that makes everyone so aggressive or are there really this many people obsessed with being unquestionably right - about music! It's all subjective! Have a word with yourselves.

Tom Mendolsehn needs to fucking lighten up. Every year it's the same. If all music's so shit, why doesn't he make some of his own? Loser
