2005 album of the year

[salivor]

My List in order:

1. Oasis - Don't Believe the Truth
2. Audioslave - Out of Exile
3. The White Stripes - Get Behind Me Satan
4. Coldplay - X&Y
5. Pluto - Pipeline Under the Ocean
6. Fat Freddy's Drop - Based on a True Story
7. The Rolling Stones - A Bigger Bang
8. The Finn Brothers - Everyone is Here
9. Foo Fighters - In Your Honor
10. Jack Johnson - In Between Dreams

Granted that 10 is a stretch but there has been some pretty good albums released this year. The top 5 would rank up there with some of the best albums I've heard in a number of years but then again I'm not a fan of modern music so read in to that what you will.

 

[bluesbreaker]

Wolfmother - Wolfmother

(Everyone is here was released in 2004, btw.)

 

[hrundi99]

I'm sorry folks but Wolfmother is just crap.

At least Jet are derivative in a fun way.

I'd have to pick:
Supergrass
Sufjan Stevens
Pernice Brothers
New Pornographers
Brendan Benson
Weezer

 

[Alex28]

Oh dude...there was some fine choices there and then you had to spoil it all with that awful Weezer album...

 

[fat_mike]

defrinetly have to agree with skeepe on potemkin city limits by propagandhi. brilliant.

Potemkin city Limits - Propagandhi
Wake The dead - Comeback Kid. absolutely brilliant.

The Pictures

I'm really wearing my You Am I badge of courage here but as Molly would say " do yourself a favour".
It's not death/suicide metal or the like... but I like it.

 

[HevyDevy]

I'l tell you what Mr Carcharias - seeing as quite a few mentioned You Am I's Hi Fi Way in the perfect album thread, I'm going to download it and have a listen.

You know I don't only listen to metal don't you?

good for you.

You should buy it seeing how they are Aussies but if you do enjoy it that'll do me.

It was released in 94 ...keep that in mind.

 

[Raiders Plight]

system of a down - mesmerize/hypnotize
queens of the stone age - lullabies to paralyze
gorillaz - demon days
beck - guerro

i'm not into whiney indie crap like bloc party, not into metal much either, opeth is okay.

Aiight - THE top 5 in 05, and you know it.

1. Kanye West - Late Registration
2. Common - Be
3. New Pornographers - Twin Cinema
4. Sufjan Stevens - Illinois
5. Fiona Apple - Extraordinary Machine

Shout-outs to White Stripes, Architecture in Helsinki, Ohmega Watts and Lyrics Born - so close dudes, so close.

 

[Meanie]

These were the only new albums I listened to this year (in order of my preference):


1. Billy Corgan - The Future Embrace
2. Sigur Ros - Takk
3. Ben Lee - Awake Is The New Sleep
4. Foo Fighters - In Your Honor
5. Coldplay - X&Y
6. Queens Of The Stone Age - Lullabies to Paralyse

I believe next year I will be more active however.

 

[HevyDevy]

Yeah, definitely be more active and try to listen to something decent as well

 

[Southernsaint]

It was a quiet year for decent releases, IMO. My two faves were:

Distant Sense Of Random Menace - Urthboy (from The Herd)

and, surprisingly:

Awake Is The New Sleep - Ben Lee

 

[gaterooze]

Sufjan Stevens - Illinois (great travelling music)
Clutch - Robot Hive
Van der Graaf Generator - Present
Opeth - Ghost Reveries (haven't listened to it enough yet, but Opeth is Opeth)
Kate Bush - Aerial

And I gotta buy the last three years of Cuneiform releases... been out of that scene for too long.

 

[miniHINDY]

Shihad- Love is the new Hate
Wolfmother - Wolfmother
Cog - The New Normal
After The Fall - Always Forever Now
Gyrosocope - Are You Invloved?

Killing The Dream - In Place, Apart
Out to Win - Beg For Life
No Innocent Victim - To Burn Again
Blood In Blood Out - Respect Our Loyalty
Blacklisted - We're Unstoppable
Comeback Kid - Wake The Dead

[fat_mike]

good to see naohter person appreciate just how awesome comeback kid is and how great wake the dead is.

loving the new bullet for my valentine album. they seem to have embraced the new "metalcore" sound and pull it off brilliantly.

 

[Kakihara]

Dont really like metalcore but i'll have to check them out and sh*t yeah that newest comeback kid album was good. I didnt really like their first one apart from a few songs but i liked most of this one.
