Favourite Album of 2007

I know we're nearly a third of the way through 2008 but I've been pondering these last two and half months and have finally come up with a decision.  

The shortlist

Disco 4 by Pet Shop Boys (especially their remix of Yoko Ono's Walking On Thin Ice)
Finding Forver by Common
Kroungine by Bola
Untrue by Burial
Send Away The Tigers by Manic Street Preachers
Calibi Yau Manifold by Dopplereffeckt
Grinderman by Grinderman

And the winner is (drum roll please).........

Send Away The Tigers by Manic Street Preachers.  I don't think any band has produced an 8th album that is so focussed, angry and on the button as this one.  The last two albums were treading water but this harks back to the glory days of their first album Generation Terrorists when they were firing both barrels.  A spectacular, unexpected return 
to form.
