Your album of the year, up to this point. - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Blasphemy. · 11-02-2004, 12:16 AM

What is your album of the year up till now?
Make sure that the cd was actually released this year.

Mine is easily Iron and Wine - Our Endless Numbered Days.

Spartak · 11-02-2004, 12:44 AM

For me it's a tossup between Interpol's Antics, and Kasabian.

almostaugust · 11-02-2004, 12:49 AM

Beastie Boys- To the five Burroughs.

Jeff · 11-02-2004, 01:46 AM

The Drive-by Trucker's latest, The Dirty South.

andrewtayloruk · 11-02-2004, 02:06 AM

For me it's got to be Kanye West - College Dropout

Although I've just had delivered a new batch of CDs so perhaps there's something in this list that just tops kanye.

Green Day - American Idiot (Quite possible)
User - Confesssions (Certainly good, but just how good?)
Maroon 5 - Songs About Jane (This is a definite possibility)
Robbie Williams - Greatest Hits (Do g. hits compilations count?)

zenmaster10665 · 11-02-2004, 02:12 AM

album of the year - of the day

= Kasabian - Kasabian

djflish · 11-02-2004, 02:37 AM

The Streets - A Grand Don't Come For Free

Not quite as good as his first, Original Pirate Material, but still genius.

blitz.fenix · 11-02-2004, 07:06 AM

Gwar - War Party. Hasn't been released yet but the 3 tracks they have released are superb. Gonna be a great album.

roachboy · 11-02-2004, 07:41 AM

JosephSelf · 11-02-2004, 02:29 PM

Hmmm, nothing much is coming to mind; maybe Finn Brothers EVERYONE IS HERE. I also liked some of Nellie McKay's GET AWAY FROM ME. U2 has a chance to take it when they release their new one.

I'm with you.

I'd also list:

Reverend Horton Heat - "Revival"
Secret Machines - "Now Here is Nowhere"
Beastie Boys - "To the 5 Boroughs"

k1ng · 11-02-2004, 08:38 PM

Nothing really stands out as great, but Id have to vote for the new Rammstein album, 'Reise, Reise'.

Blasphemy. · 11-02-2004, 10:26 PM

Maybe even The Fiery Furnaces in my opinion.

tspikes51 · 11-03-2004, 11:48 AM

Blindside - "About A Burning Fire"
Project 86 - "Songs To Burn Your Bridges By"
Hazen Street - "Hazen Street"

cheeterbo · 11-03-2004, 01:20 PM

orbital - blue album

wraithhibn · 11-03-2004, 03:12 PM

Gotta go with Greenday's "American Idiot".

scott_p_1 · 11-03-2004, 04:27 PM

I had to put up with a couple of dissapointing albums this year, but for me, Alexisonfire - Watch Out!

mused76 · 11-03-2004, 06:08 PM

Interpol - Antics

anti fishstick · 11-03-2004, 06:26 PM

emotive by a perfect circle. I just got it today and it was released yesterday. Dark, somewhat creepy. Has some pretty grim predictions for the future but this is what the next few years will look like....

Runners up to Sparta: porcelain

YaWhateva · 11-03-2004, 06:41 PM

Right now Emotive by A Perfect Circle.

In a month, The Nirvana Box Set.

Jadedfox · 11-04-2004, 03:30 AM

Impossible to pick one but

Orbital - Blue Album
Soulwax - Any minute now
The Haunted - rEVOLVEr

are all up there along with many others

--jaded

Kagemusha222 · 11-04-2004, 05:09 PM

k-Os- The Joyful Rebellion
Jean Grae- This Week
Mos Def- The New Danger

Harry Cox · 11-04-2004, 06:25 PM

How did I forget Velvet Revolver? I'll have to add them to the Spree and call it a tie.

Architeuthis · 11-04-2004, 07:40 PM

Tom Waits - Real Gone

By far the best album this year imo

KWSN · 11-04-2004, 08:17 PM

So many choices!

Hopesfall - A Types

The Blood Brothers - Crimes

The Streets - A Grand Don't Come For Free

Loretta Lynn - Van Lear Rose

The Fiery Furnaces - Blueberry Boat

Interpol - Antics

Fear Before the March of Flames - Art Damage

Mastodon - Leviathan

Head Automatica - Decadence

Secret Machines - Now Here Is Nowhere

These Arms Are Snakes - Oxeneers or The Lion Sleeps When His Antelopes Go Home

and so so so much more to choose from.....

alansmithee · 11-04-2004, 08:47 PM

Madvillian-Madvilliany

Stompy · 11-05-2004, 07:44 AM

Nirvana box set.

The thing isn't even released yet and it's already the album of the year!

Nothing can remotely come close to that.

kutulu · 11-05-2004, 11:20 AM

This was a bad year for music for me. Nothing stands out as amazing. Some good thinks were the new Fear Factory, Clutch, and Tomahawk.

Wheat King · 11-05-2004, 12:10 PM

Ummm hello??? Bowling for Soup? Hoobastank? Ashley Simpson???

Because typeface doesn't show how sarcastic I am, I'll have to inform you I HATE all of these... anyone with me???

zhevek · 11-06-2004, 02:44 PM

Kristy Thirsk - Souvenir

Well, what DID you like?

I myself enjoy Muse "Absolution" and Concrete Blonde "Mojave."

Ella · 11-06-2004, 03:39 PM

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - 'Abattoir Blues'

Double CD set with some truly awesome moments of greatness.
