LCD Soundsystem  For a group that's had their latest release 'Sound Of Silver' appear near the top of just about all the important 2007 best-of lists, LCD Sound System manage to maintain a surprising air of anonymity. It's certainly not something that bothers drummer Pat Mahoney. "The whole best-of thing that's come up now seems kind of abstract to me, because we're totally anonymous in New York," he laughs, "which is pretty nice. The critical acclaim is great, but I don't know, I still feel like we are a very small band in some ways." |

With 'FOAD', Darkthrone certainly didn't set out to make the best metal album of the year. In their eyes, 'FOAD' was the only metal album of 2007. Sure, everyone harps on about "classic" this and "oldschool" that, but 'FOAD' absolutely oozes derision - so disillusioned are Darkthrone with today's metal that it seems they now outright refuse to play it. Instead, 'FOAD' offers a re-investigation of the 1970s' and 1980s' fascination with the riff, the solo, and even the ball-twisting falsetto. Whether it matches up to the real thing, or even to old Darkthrone, isn't so much the issue; 'FOAD' is Darkthrone screaming "look at me," and I can't help but indulge them.
