Year in Review: Best Albums of 2007, Honorable Mentions

As ScooterDMan and I compiled our lists last week for the best albums of 2007, arranging the final order came down to the wire. Since this year has been fairly strong as far as full-length releases go, many records almost found places among the final selections.

Thus far in ListenIn's music-of-2007 recap, the lists have been dominated by bands complex in either production, musicianship, or theme. While there have been moments of simplicity the trend has been toward featuring large, dynamic sounds or more fast-paced, high energy tunes.
