Ohmpark’s Top 50 Best Albums Of 2007

2007 was an incredible year of music and there were so many albums I really liked that didn’t make this list. I noticed that most of the lists I pay attention to were very similar to one another this year as opposed to last year. Also, I’ve found myself in more of a disagreeance with those lists than last year. If there is any theme to be taken out of this list, I think it’s that I feel like too many great albums were underrated by the blogosphere elites, and that they were way in love with some albums I think are overrated. This list represents my personal assertions more so than the rest of the Ohmpark crew, but I worked hard to get every one’s opinions and influences in this thing. Feel free to comment on how much you hate or love it. I feel like every album on this is an essential one from last year, so go listen to some new music:

Cyann & Ben : Sweet Beliefs

This French band kinda has elements of Sigur Ros, Explosions In the Sky, Mew, Radiohead, and some other stuff. Seriously, it’s an amazing hybrid of great styles. Their new album, Sweet Beliefs, is stunningly gorgeous and a great “take-you-on-a-sonic-journey” album. Pick yourself up a copy:

Amon Tobin : The Foley Room

This Brazillian born, Uk bred DJ does jazzy IDM and DMB that could border into post-rock in sound. Typically known for great sampling, Amon Tobin incorporates mostly in the field recordings such as cats eating rats and ants eating grass(WTF) on this album. He seems to be worried that illegal file sharing could be hurting his album sales so if you like the tracks, support him and get the album cuz it is worth it:
