DJ KRA's Best of the Year

1. Radiohead - In Rainbows
This album flows beautifully and there isn't a bad song on it. The concept behind everything In Rainbows is brilliant, but it doesn't outshine the amazing sounds they make.

2. Soulsavers - It's now how far you fall, it's how you land
Very depressing, very very beautiful album that just makes you break down in emotion. I don't think I've ever felt this way because of an album before. It's so dark and beautiful. Lanegan's voice shines.

3. Spoon - Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga
This record is just plain solid. The songs are clever and catchy and the delivery is perfect.

4. The National - Boxer
I'm new to The National. I had no idea who they were until this album. They blew me away. The vocals work perfectly with the lush instrumentation.

5. Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet
It's Porcupine Tree, 'nuff said. The album is solid. I feel that it lacks in certain areas, but it's a great album as far as production, instrumentation and lyrically. Breathtaking album competing in a year full of great releases.
