Best albums of first 1/2 of 2005?
I started a similar thread last year. Just post what you think the best albums have been so far in 2005.
Mine (in no particluar order): http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov...62924dwe8t.jpg "I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning" - Bright Eyes http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov...65318rqzc4.jpg "Some Cities" - Doves http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov...73357cuku1.jpg "X&Y" - Coldplay http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov...84517d74cm.jpg "Get Behind Me Satain" - White Stripes http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov...66185yhhz9.jpg "Frances the Mute" - The Mars Volta |
(I'm not sure what half those albums are up there ;))
NIN - With Teeth Fantomas - Suspended Animation Mindless Self Indulgence - You'll Rebel To Anything System of a Down - Mesmerize |
Lots of great stuff coming out lately and it looks pretty good for the rest of the year too. Here's a few of the best ones i've picked up so far this year:
http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov...68987btfcr.jpg http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov...73896jintm.jpg http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov...62768h03d1.jpg http://www.landwashdistribution.com/.../LaDeDa200.jpg http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov...75481j60hw.jpg http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov...69809axjgg.jpg http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov...84517d74cm.jpg There's a few others that could be up there as well but I haven't given them enough of a chance yet to say for sure. Been great listening so far though, seems like every tuesday lately there's something new worth picking up. :thumbsup: |
I'm going to go with COLD ROSES by Ryan Adams. I've listened to a ton of stuff on Rhapsody this year; the new Oasis, White Stripes, Ringo Starr, Aimee Mann and a few others I'm not thinking of as I sit here, but Adams' disc takes my gold medal thus far.
|
My list, other than the first they're in no order:
1. Cephalic Carnage - Anomalies The Mars Volta - Frances The Mute Nile - Annihilation of the Wicked Gorillaz - Demon Days Team Sleep - Team Sleep NIN - With Teeth Fantomas - Suspended Animation |
Almost all of my picks are up there so far... Mars Volta, Beck, Queens Of The Stone Age, Gorillaz.
The only new one I'll add is Stephen Malkmus - Face The Truth. It's the next best thing to hearing a new Pavement album. |
X&Y - Coldplay
Self Titled - Matt Mays and El Torpedo Self Titled - Theory of a Dead Man Mesmorize - System of a Down Sitting, Waiting, Wishing - Jack Johnson |
clap your hands and say yeah. they just put out a pretty good album.
http://clapyourhandssayyeah.com/imag...y_cd_small.jpg spoon - gimme fiction http://images.google.com/images?q=tb...me-fiction.jpg m83 - before the dawn heals us http://images.google.com/images?q=tb...1.LZZZZZZZ.jpg kanye west will probably be up here soon (august, apparently). http://g-images.amazon.com/images/G/.../no-img-lg.gif i agree with many already listed, but i still need to hear with teeth. |
Jagged Little Pill Acoustic - Alanis Morissette
With Teeth - NIN Guero - Beck Gasoline - Theory of a Deadman Music from the O.C. - Mix 4 |
Only two of the CDs I've bought so far this year were released in 2005. One was Belle & Sebastian's Push Barman to Open Old Wounds, but that was a compilation of EPs released years earlier overseas. The other was Brendan Benson's The Alternative to Love. That was pretty good, so I'll go with that.
|
Out of Exile - Audioslave and the new NIN album were both pretty good.
|
just off the top of my head....
Sleater Kinney - The Woods Architecture In Helsinki - in case we die Maximo Park - A Certain Trigger Antony and the JOhnsons- I am a bird now System of a down - Mesmerize Shining - In the kingdom of kitsch you will be a monster THe Books - Lost and Safe Bloc Party - Silent Alarm The Decemberists - Picaresque |
Of releases this year so far (released Jan 1 or later), here are my top 5 in no particular order!
http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov...59410gjtm0.jpg Eisley - Room Noises http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov...59817qz9oa.jpg Shivaree - Who's Got Trouble? http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov...76264hxdrb.jpg The Raveonettes - Pretty In Black http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov...70718cova5.jpg M.I.A - Arular http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov...75930iffzd.jpg Feist - Let It Die |

Ying Yang Twins - US of Atlanta
Gorillaz - Demon Days System of a Down - Mesmorize |
it just came out a week ago:
Dredg - Catch Without Arms easily my favorite album of the year so far. I also have to give a vote for Fantomas - Suspended Animation. |
Love the new Coldplay. SOAD's new was great too.
|
Ani Difranco's Knuckle Down may be the best album of hers so far.

Thanks for the heads up on Dredg. So far I like it a lot.
|
and now for a metalhead's opinion
Dream Theater - Octavarium http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov...84146o8oly.jpg Demons and Wizards - Touched by the Crimson King http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov...79278tsgd7.jpg Bruce Dickinson - Tyranny of Souls Arch Enemy - Doomsday Machine(technically not released yet, but It's been leaked) |
The only two that impressed me at all were
Porcupine Tree - Deadwing and Nevermore - This Godless Endeavour Hopefully the 2nd half of '05 is as good as I was expecting the whole year to be. |
Queens of the stoneage - Lullabies to paralyze.
I got it the day it came out, listened to it pretty much every day since. I cannot get tired of it. |
I second the new Cephalic Carnage as well as Fantomas' - Suspended Animation (the latter I picked up at Best Buy last week). I cannot wait to see songs like Wraith and Piecemaker live! |\m/| ( - - ) |\m/|

Ulver's new one, Blood Inside, is also quite excellent.

Quote:
Brendan Benson - The Alternative to Love Andrew Bird and the Mysterious Production of Eggs Queens of the Stone Age - Lullabies to Paralyze Of Montreal - The Sunlandic Twins Of those, I still need to give the Andrew Bird a few more listens, but my favorite so far by far is The Sunlandic Twins. The Queens is great when good, and boring when not. For every fantastic "Burn the Witch" or "Someone's in the Wolf", there's an uninteresting "In My Head" or "You've Got a Killer Scene There, Man...". Andrew Bird's the same way, wonderful spots and lackluster spots, though I'm more hopeful that the lackluster would grow on me with further listens. Benson's good, but only a couple tracks might qualify as more than ordinary. |
In no particular order...

I've been meaning to go back to Borders and read the article on them in Q...I've been in love with Noel Gallagher for 10 years now. That aside, I love the FEEL of the new album. It's very vintage. Love it. |
A CD so good, I listen to it daily.
