Stars of CCTV - Hard Fi
Hot Fuss - Killers
Employment - Kaiser Chiefs
Some Cities - Doves

Re: Album of the year?

Hard-Fi - Stars Of CCTV
Coldplay - X&Y

Both superb albums. I wasn't expecting much from Hard-Fi's album, but it is absolutely brilliant. I think it is better than X&Y on the fact that A Rush Of Blood To The Head has some similar songs, and Chris Martin's voice, after a while, gets bloody irritating.

'a while' being around 3 seconds.
