I managed to listen to a number of new albums this past year despite being in Australia. I’ve had this album, Ashtray Rock by Joel Plaskett Emergency, earmarked for my top honours for about a month, and even created a 2007 release play list to see if anything else caught my ear. I can say heaps about this album, but I think it’s the in your face pop licks, and Joel’s ridiculously good lyrics that cement this album as a certain classic. They call it a concept album, but it’s really just a rocking album from start to finish. It tells the story over the course of the album about two friends who fall for the same girl, but each tracks stands tall alone. Don’t listen to award tour, Joel Plaskett’s Ashtray Rock is the true 2007 album of the year.
