    That's entirely your opinion, and it isn't for you to say that Will should or shouldn't have a certain album on his list. Respect his taste in music, please.

    Okay, I'm going to be as organized as possible this year. Just so I can have a full list of everything at the end of '08.

    (Unordered) Top 10:
    1. The New Frontiers - Mending
    2. Jon Foreman - Winter EP/Spring EP (Since these are part of a complete work, I'm counting them as 1 entry)
    3. Utada Hikaru - HEART STATION
    4. Nine Inch Nails - Ghosts I-IV
    5. E.S. Posthumus - Cartographer
    6. Artist Vs Poet - Alive Once Again
    7. Young and Divine - Young and Divine
    8. Panic at the Disco - Pretty. Odd.
    9. The Cab - Whisper War
    10. Story of the Year - The Black Swan


    Off:
    Ivoryline - There Came A Lion
    PlayRadioPlay! - Texas
    Edison Glass - Time Is Fiction

    Still Need To Listen To:
    Thrice - The Alchemy Index Vols. III & IV: Earth and Air
    Gnarls Barkley - The Odd Couple
    Atmosphere - When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold
    Portishead - Third
    Nada Surf - Lucky

    ---

    Oh and BTW Will, you have Lupe's album on your Off List. His album came out '07. :lol:

    Oh. Whoops.

    But in Will's case, since he lives in NA, it was still released in '07.

    That's a weird case though, should we let it bleed over to '08 as well? I remember having Lupe on my top in '07 and it'd be weird for it to be in 2 years.

    I guess it should just be that, if an album was released where you are this year, you can include it.

    Then again I think I included The Cool on last year's, and I didn't include He Is Legend. Damn, haha.

    I thought it came out earlier this year. That means my tags are wrong and I've got to fix them. :lol:

    Well, since I've only heard three new albums this year, I can only judge based on what I've heard.

    It's a tie between if (MSI) and The Slip.
