My early call for album of the year..

[Dalton]

chattaprince@yahoo.com

I'd take a listen if it dropped into my box.

 

[Salome]

so far my favourite album is "A tale of two cities" by "Mr. Hudson and The Library"

unless I'm forgetting something

and since I haven't heard the latest Zappa release "Buffalo" yet

 

[Laura M]

so far my favourite album is "A tale of two cities" by "Mr. Hudson and The Library"

 

[Salome]

even though "Wincing the night away" by The Shins would also be a strong contender

 

[Jack In The Box]

finally I got it, really good rock record

but still, I find "Alligator" stronger

 

[bono_man]

I am interested too for anyone willing to help.

Thanks

From the Arcade Fire fan site:

The National, whose new album, 'Boxer', is easily one of the year's best records, and whose past albums are amazing as well, will open the first part of the North American Tour:

05/01/07 Atlanta, GA Atlanta Civic Ctr. Theatre
05/02/07 Asheville, NC Thomas Wolfe Auditorium
05/04/07 Washington, DC DAR Constitution Hall
05/05/07 Upper Darby, PA Tower Theatre
05/07/07 New York, NY United Palace
05/08/07 New York, NY United Palace
05/09/07 New York, NY Radio City Music Hall

I'll be there on 5/1 in ATL in the tenth row!

I'm loving this album, good call.

I need to check out Alligator.

 

[The OOTS]

After hearing this, Alligator is still my favorite by them.

Glad to see this thread hasn't sunk into the depths
I thought this might just appeal to U2 fans, and I do love it when people get all happy about music that I get all happy about.

It is definitely worth noting, as some have, that Alligator is an immense album, probably better than Boxer, but time will tell for sure.

And indeed The Cherry Tree EP is ridiculously good. All Dolled Up In Straps, Cherry Tree, About Today is currrently my favourite 3-song stretch on any recording.

And they're touring around the US soon so make note of that..

 

[I'm Ready]

I finally got around to checking this out, its a really great album

good call on the recommendation

Unfortunately the song titles are mixed up. Good performances, though why they're on MTV is beyond me.

I'll be going to buy Boxer tomorry.

My fav songs on this album so far:

Ada
Start a War
Slow Show
Fake Empire

Fucking beautiful, thanks!

 

[Mr. MIKEphisto]

Great album... its on repeat.

 

[impy13]

Is there any retailer that actually carries this album? I've been to two Best Buys and two actual record stores with no luck.

 

[Needle_Chill]

I found it at HMV.

 

[SkeeK]

slow show is definitely my favourite on there. wowee.

seeing them live in a week!
