What RS said about Zeitgeist:
Billy Corgan and drummer Jimmy Chamberlin, the only original members in this resurrection, make an art-pop roar worthy of the Pumpkins crown. Corgan piles on guitar overdubs with philharmonic zeal and Siamese Dream-era smarts on searing songs about the suffocating chaos of life and politics in America.

How does this compare with your top (5) albums of 2007?

Mine would be:
1. Nine Inch Nails - Year Zero
2. John Mayer - Continuum
3. Smashing Pumpkins - Zeitgeist
4. Foo Fighters - Echo, Silence, Patience & Grace
5. Led Zeppelin - Mothership

Nine Inch Nails - Year Zero & Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D
The Smashing Pumpkins - Zeitgeist
Baroness - Red Album

^ make up the top 4...for fifth spot it's a 3-way tie between v

The White Stripes - Icky Thump
Grinderman
Radiohead - In Rainbows

my top 5

smashing pumpkins: zeitgeist
foo fighters: echos,slience,patient&grace
nine inch nails: year zero
kanye west:graduation
radiohead:in rainbows

Zeitgeist shouldnt even be on the list - but hey - Britney Spears made it too so oh well.

Looks like Shiny Toy Guns are working on some new material. Maybe they'll make the list in 2008 with this little number.

something happened to my post???

i just said i dont understand how they can compare all the different genres. and i dont like the idea of this list at all. lol

does seem strange how they compare so many different genres together. Back when alt rock and grunge dominated, zeitgeist prob would have done better. today's music sucks, period.

Sad state of music when that is the Top 50. Bleh.
But, yeah for Zeitgeist!

At least Zeitgeist was above Fall out boy
phew!
Coming below that would be humiliating on any list

Actually - Shiny Toy Guns are nominated for a Grammy this year, which is a little better than being on this list if you ask me.

Arcade Fire
Bright Eyes
Rilo Kiley

3) Straylight Run/The Needles The Space
4) Bright Eyes/Cassadaga
5) Arcade Fire/Neon Bible
6) Gogol Bordello/Super Taranta!
7) Bloc Party/A Weekend in the City
