Record of the Year: Mobile

MOBILE
TOMORROW STARTS TODAY
Swinging for the fences on every song, this Canadian band affects the style of their influences (U2, Oasis, The Killers) but makes them look silly in comparison. From the acoustic melancholy of "Dusting Down the Stars" to the hard-charging piano and orchestral swells of the poignant and dramatic "See Right Through Me," what it may lack in originality it makes up for in near-perfect execution.

From the Weekly Dig's best of 2007 list.
