Meg Reinecker is a news editor and reviewer here at Punknews.org -ed
Well, you've managed to stumble upon my, Meg, year-end list for 2007. As the sole female news editor for this here âzine, I'd like to start by saying thanks for a good year, Punknews, and, good riddance to you, anonymous posting!
While I'm truly honored you decided to look into what albums got the most spins from me this year past, I ask that you not try to make sense of my tastes-- just be thankful I didn't include the surely Punknews reader-approved, punk as fuck "Across the Universe" soundtrack (Jim Sturgess, if you're out there and haven't negatively judged me for having such an un-punk taste in music, I suggest we get married).
Top 20 Albums
#19. Ruiner - Prepare to Be Let Down
Bridge Nine
Was a partial let-down, but not a big enough one to keep it from my top 20.
#14. Go It Alone - Histories
Rivalry
Hasnât hit me as hard as The Only Blood
Between Us, but regardless, this band will be missed...
#11. Boys Night Out - Boys Night Out
Ferret
Fifty Million People Canât Be Wrong had me pretty worried, but Boys Night Out was a pleasant and catchy
surprise.
#10.Rilo Kiley -
Under the Blacklight
WEA
Couldnât even get through the whole thing on
first listen, yet ends up within my top ten favourites of the year? No
sense.
#8. Pulling Teeth - Martyr Immortal
Deathwish Inc.
#6. Bracewar -
Juggernaut
1917
Miss the vocals being a little more "raw," but
still love what Bracewar bring to the table.
#5. Trash Talk - Walking Disease
Rumble
#2. Saves the Day - Under the Boards
Vagrant
Despite being my second least favourite Saves the Day release ever, and despite the fact that itâs painstakingly
depressing, I love Under the Boards.
#1. Lifetime - Lifetime
Decaydence
Without a doubt, the album I gave the most
attention to this year, despite the fact Iâve never been a huge
Lifetime fan.
