-top ten albums of 2007-

this is the time of year where other bloggers start rating their top music and movies of 2007. honestly, i have bought less new music this year than i have for a LONG time. i probably spent more on music in one week when i was 20 than i did this entire year. being a single dad kinda cuts down on time and funds. so ive decided to do something different. i am going to rate my top 10 revisited albums of the year. these are albums that were already in my collection and were taken back out and reappreciated in 2007. make sense? for good measure i will say that "chase this light" by jimmy eat world ended up being my favorite 2007 release.

so here they are. the top ten revisted albums...

1)'futures' by jimmy eat world (2004)
2)'mission control' by burning airlines (1999)
3)'war of the worlds' by bad astronaut and armchair martian (2001)
4)'deja entendu' by brand new (2003)
5)'fire in the city of automatons' by no knife (1999)
6)'magnetic 62nd/the south has spolied me' ep by chamberlain (1999)
7)'lost and gone forever' by guster (1999)
8)'liberate te ex inferis' by zao (1999)
9)'bless the martyr and kiss the child' by norma jean (2002)
10)'lets talk about feelings' by lagwagon (1998)

the devil and god are raging inside me should be on my list. but i havent stopped listening to it since it came out...so i cant call it a revisit yet. it needs to collect a little dust first. :)

your list is a good one too...manchester orchestra is all of a sudden big for me again too.

i have to mention that texas is the reason's "do you know who you are?" has made it back into my rotation. so good.
