Jeffrey Morgan's Slush Pile #5 proudly presents the best records of 2007! ::

Folks, you've only got a finite number of heartbeats so I'm not gonna waste any of them by steering you wrong. That's why you have my personal rock critic guarantee that each and every single record on this list will give you your hard-earned money's worth--and more--because they all represent the absolute apex of aural achievement in 2007.

The Stooges - The Weirdness (Virgin 3-sided vinyl version) :: Album of the year.

James Hyman - A Quentin Tarantino Mash-Up (A James Hyman/Audio Shrapnel Feature Presentation) :: This unrelenting aural canvas of carnage 'n' comedy proves that James Hyman is the all-time undisputed modern master of the mash-up, all right?

Spacekitti - Galaxy (Dart) :: Spacekitti is Jilli Dart and Jilli Dart is the future of electronic sonic exotica. On Galaxy, the mistress of psychedelic trance skillfully merges the trippiest elements of classic popmuzik with rampant ambient drone all super-stacked into one sexy supersonic package.

Lisa Lashes - Lisa Lashes (Lashed) :: And speaking of sexy super-stacked packages, these twelve vicious vein melters are guaranteed to fry your nervous system to a crisp. Lisa Lashes rules, OK?

KMFDM - TOHUVABOHU (Metropolis) :: The megapower you can trust returns to classic form with their greatest album since XTORT. Ask for it by name.

Various Artists - Stax 50th Anniversary Celebration (Stax) :: What's the greatest black record company in history that's a hit machine to all the hip? Stax! You're damn right.

The World/Inferno Friendship Society - Addicted To Bad Ideas: Peter Lorre's Twentieth Century (Chunksaah) :: Peter Lorre as an inspirational touchstone? The greatest expressionist avant-garde cabaret art rock concept album ever!

Oblivion Sun - Oblivion Sun (MVD Audio) :: Finally, a band that knows how to create contemporary Moog-fuelled progressive rock just like the masters used to make.

The Sojourners - Hold On (Black Hen) :: Radiating a purifying white light, this is spiritual three part harmony gospel music at its absolute redemptive finest.

Dr. Dog - We All Belong (Park The Van) :: A lush surfeit of catchy tunes makes this irresistible offering the most charming pop album of the year.

Suffrajett - Black Glitter (Cobra) :: Suffrajett is one of the best hard rock bands in America and Black Glitter is one of the best hard rock records in America.

LKN - Postulate II (Greyday) :: Bravura multi-instrumentalist Lauren K. Newman is back with another dense wall-of-sound album of heavy melodic do-it-yourself rip-roarin' rock.

Megadeth - United Abominations (Roadrunner) :: If you thought The System Has Failed ran roughshod over the Bush administration, just wait until you hear how the Mustaine Doctrine crosses the floor to go after the most morally corrupt gang of word leaders in modern history.

Ted Nugent - Love Grenade (Eagle Records) :: Fire in the hole!

Scum Of The Earth - Sleaze Freak (Eclipse) :: Music to fuck by, served up piping hot just the way I like it.

WORST ALBUM OF THE YEAR: Amy Winehouse - Back To Smack (Island) :: Includes the hit single "Lay Down And Die, Goodbye."
