Album of the Month: August 2007

The New Pornographers: "Challengers"

August was a huge month for music, seeing releases from Rilo Kiley, Okkervil River, M.I.A., Caribou, and much more! However, over all these releases, The New Pornographer's return to greatness stood out. Unlike every other album from the band, this one took some time to grow on me as noted by the 7 out of 10 that it received from me. Since then though, the album has consistently been playing in my CD player. I just can't get enough of this brilliant release! If you have yet to hear it, you need to go ahead and get on it before I get angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.
