	69 20. American Doll Posse by Tori Amos May 1, 2007 The singer-songwriter-pianist's ninth studio album is political, confrontational, and lengthy (at over 20 tracks)--and also falls under the dreaded "concept album" category, as its songs come from the viewpoints of five different characters.

	87 35. Person Pitch by Panda Bear March 20, 2007 The third solo album from Animal Collective's Noah Lennox (aka Panda Bear) is completely unlike its predecessor, as it is both upbeat and electronic, sounding like a spacey, 21st century Beach Boys album. Metascore: 87 User Score: 8.7
	75 36. Era Vulgaris by Queens of the Stone Age June 12, 2007 Josh Homme's fifth QOTSA disc includes guest appearances by The Strokes' Julian Casablancas and returnee Mark Lanegan.
