The music year is half way over (albums and songs are eligible for my year-end best-of lists from December 1st through November 30th every year), so it’s time for a new feature. Jim Shearer and I (the former host and former producer of MTV2’s Subterranean and 120 Minutes respectively) have talked about it for a long time, and we finally did it. Now, many of the Top 20 Albums of 2007 (so far) have a video version of the album review, which is different in many ways from the written version.

You can watch all the reviews on revver.com or visit the Top 20 Albums Standings section and click on the link to an album to watch the embedded version on New Music Nation. Look for more video reviews in the coming months.
