I have created an EOY summary in the common "meta" format in Excel.
There's also a link from the main AM page.
Harold, sorry this is not possible. I will use a scoring method for this EOY summary and these results are not comparable to the matching method results for the AM top 3000.
Making EOY updates is easy, I think I'll be able to include new EOY lists within 48 hours as long as I'm connected to the web. BUT THEN there's a much bigger task to include these results with the previous years. I think I will only be able to update the site once a year in the future.
You know, updates only once a year is actually a good thing. It will make forum games like bracketology less confusing.
Yes, Henrik, thanks for this album sheet and updating it almost on a daily basis! 
As a first impression, there seems to be a worldwide consensus about the top 4 albums:
- M.I.A. steady on #4
- Radiohead slowly losing connection with the top 2 and doomed for #3
- The Arcade Fire and LCD Soundsystem both still in the race for best 2007 album.
In earlier posts, I was kind of critical about the quality of the music in 2007, but I have to admit there were quite some interesting releases this year 
I wouldnt say so Dr Dre yet
IR is number one in Billboard, Filter, high on Pitchfork, its best placed in US/UK lists only slightly loosing in other world lists which I dont trust so much anyway. In the end it will be between LCD and Radiohead.
IR might not be the best album of year, I havent heard so many albums to be able to post my own list but for me its definitely better album than those of another big hiters (MIA, AF, LCD).
Its their unique songwriting aesthetics which address me so much. When I listen to most hyped song of year - All my friends, I think I prefer all 10 songs of IR to this song. 
OK, thomas, maybe Radiohead is not doomed yet
BTW, to clarify, with "worldwide consensus" I meant, these 4 albums are in top 10 in US, UK and rest of the world.
From the 4 albums, IR is also my favorite and will surely show up in my Pazz&Jop EOY list.
"...other world lists which I dont trust so much anyway"
That is one weird comment, especially from someone from the Czech Republic!
My opinion is that the EOY lists are too similar. If Arcade Fire, LCD, Radiohead and M.I.A. are all in the top 10, I immediately question whether this source have actually listed their own favourites. Hey, I'm the one who's supposed to do the summary of all critics around the world, not the individual magazines!
Anyway, would anyone be interested in a poll to decide which critic source presented the best EOY list?
Henrik thanks!
I was reading this site for about 1 year, but never commented b/c I m not confident in my music knowledge and language skill but its always fun to read about music from this site perspective.
And my remark about lists from non english speaking countries wasnt of course thought as a critic of your marvellous job here! Its good to see all lists added and everyone can choose his way how to read them. BTW I trust our local lists at least - weird lists indeed.
