1. Mew did not come out in America until 2006
Frengers, the album before And the Glass Handed Kites, comes out in America next month. Does that make it a 2007 album? One of my most listened to albums by a band this year was originally self-released in '04, but the band didn't get a label until this year, so it finally received a proper release. I hadn't heard of them until this year too, but I'm still not considering it an '06 release. I could though, just 'cuz.

Don't be a dick. No one outside of Sweden knew who they were until this year.

I'm not being a dick at all. I'm just saying. I've known who they were since 2004. So did my friend Andy, who introduced me to them. And so did all the people that we introduced to the band that year (probably around four I suppose, from various parts of the U.S. and the U.K.). And so did the lead singer of Brand New, who said Frengers was his favorite album of 2003. None of us are in Sweden, even though the band is from Denmark.

OK, keep being a dick. No one likes you anyway. Fucking bastard.

OK, I am going to clarify this. It was not released in America until 2006. I don't download music much, and I definitely won't pay $30 for an import cd of a band I never heard. I work on American release dates, and it wasn't released in America until 2006. If you want to keep being a cunt, then keep being a cunt, but I don't want to hear about it. And instead of responding to this, just ram your head into a wall repeatedly until you pass out. It will make everyone here happier.
Asshole.

I didn't even bother with Show Your Bones. Too much filler on Fever to Tell.

Seemed to me a lot of anticipated releases that sort of....faded away.

I liked Black Holes and Revelations. It stumbled a bit in the middle, but overall I thought it was solid. It will probably be in my top 10.

Yeah, I loved BHAR a lot, watching them perform the songs is like Christmas morning.

show your bones couldn't keep me interested after track one. and i thought "fever to tell" was awesome

Fever to Tell was hit or miss on the tracks. Granted, they had more tracks that hit, and they had a classic single from the album too, but still, there was filler on it. They are good for an EP of solid material, not an entire album. Then again, you're always going to be limited with only a guitar and drums....and a screeching woman.
But let's stop living in 2003, there are better female artists out there if you look for them. And Ani DiFranco will never be one of them.

I didn't buy too many CDs this year... but I enjoyed Muse, Beck, Taking Back Sunday, and Malajube.
