Album of the Month (January 07)

[Vas Deferens]

My pick is:
 
 Of Montreal's Hissing Fauna..
 
 Yours?

[Big KC]

The new Bloc Party is incredible...
 
 and the new Idlewild is just like their earlier stuff - which is a good thing.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

I haven't bought a single album in 2007, but I'm going to go with the Broken West, based on what I've heard.
 
 I also like what I've heard of the new Peter Bjorn and John as well as Fratellis albums, but I think they don't come out here until March.

Even though it officially came out the other day, I'm sticking with "Wincing the Night Away."

[bellenseb]

The new Papercuts album is probably my favorite. Although I don't think it's officially released until February.

[ratioci nation]

Only January 07 album I have heard is the new Menomena, and it gets the thumbs up from me.

[jbcapati]

I've heard the new Field Music, CYHSY, and Youth Group.  Field Music is my fav of those three.
 
 I assume Bloc Party, Idlewild, and the Magic Numbers will make some February 2007 Best Of lists (assuming US release dates).

anyone know where i can listen to the new bloc party?  maybe download it?

Cool thread. Monthly recaps are always helpful. I haven't bought any 07 release due to the cheap Tower purchases.  I plan go get Beirut, Menomena and The Good, The Bad and The Queen (I think that came out in Jan).

[grotty]

my favorite song of the month is
 
 Welcome To My Room
 by Vietnam

[eltee]

"Cool thread. Monthly recaps are always helpful."
 
 A bit too Franklin Covey for me. (I'm still contemplating: "Best Albums in this decade, but you have four more years to go" thread.)  

[BookerT]

the vietnam album probably gets my vote, although i prefer "priest, poet & the pig" when it comes to favorite song. david kilgour's new one is also pretty solid.
