Top 10s for 2007: Absolut Noise
The best 2007 records which did not exist in 2007
The first Du Pacque record
--> it will be released next year and will be a total killer. I heard plenty of their songs. Trust me: this is gonna be the best record in 2008!
A Bear Quartet album
--> An electro one, or a pop one, or a rock one : does not matter actually. Mattias Alkberg can even turn hip-hop, I will buy it.
A MABD album
--> More a punk one like their first two ones than a folk one like their latest.
A more black "White and black" album for The Hives
--> when they rock, they do rock. When they try to be too smart (see their song "T.H.E.H.I.V.E.S" for instance), they make me feel bored.
A great Kent record
--> ok, "Tillbaka till samtiden" is not that bad, but it is not that good either, right?
A Bad Cash Quartet record
--> 'cause Hästpojken + Jonas Game do not equal BCQ
A bad Mando Diao record
--> "Never seen the light of day" is actually not bad. I would even say it is quite good.
A Jens Lekman trash metal album
--> I liked it at first, but now I think "Night falls over Kortedala" is quite boring. I prefer his first record. This latest one is much too calm for me. Not surprising enough. It sounds like I am the only one to think so though.
A Convoj album
--> will those guys eventually release a proper record?
A compilation with all the great artists who are from the very little Swedish city Östersund
--> like Annika Norlin, Penny Century, Autisterna, The Way We Wear Our Head, Sibiria or Vapnet
