Have any good albums come out/leaked this year? (Yes, I know some have, I could make a list myself, but I want your picks so I can play catch-up).

And what's coming up that might be good?

Camille - Music Hole, sort of French acapella pop. I absolutely love about 2/3rds of this, you'll either like it or it will annoy the hell out of you.

The Zeigeist album is fucking great and I've been banging on about it for ages. It all sounds exactly how you expect it to but it is very enjoyable indeed nonetheless.

Yeah I like this - haven't listened it enough to actually remember any of it hence non-appearance in list above.

I loved her last one (and her live show for 'Le Fil' even more) but the two tracks I've heard from Music Hole were dreadful, I thought. I think it's because Camille is singing in English, it really spotlights the crap lyrics and the mannered vocals (which I was happy to give a free pass to when she was singing in French).

I'd agree, I loved her first two albums, and the live show (and accompanying album) even more - but some of her English lyrics are dire and it ruins it a bit for me.

Although 'Money Note' just about gets away with it - it's got such a catchy melody I can forgive the lyrics grating a bit in places
