Best of 2005
Oerdin:
I think Sufjan is very talented but I'm still surprised they gave him best album of the year. I like Illinios and I even love a few songs on the CD but over all it gets rather repetitive. I saw him live in San Diego (during the ComicCon) and I honestly almost fell asleep during the concert. It's just a bit to mellow and it becomes very repetative after a while without anything upbeat to break it up.
I'd vote for The Decemberists: Picaresque or Spoon: Gimme Fiction as the best album of the year. Both are a bit over played but they stand apart from the pack due to their originality and because they really mix things up in order to keep the listener interested. Damn fine albums.
McTaggart:
Alphabetical order:
Arcade Fire - Funeral (It came out this year in Australia, so it fits in here)
Bright Eyes - Digital Ash In A Digital Urn
Boards of Canada - The Campfire Headphase
The Mountain Goats - The Sunset Tree
Sigur Ros - Takk
Album I didn't hear, but I wish I did (in the order they come to mind):
Four Tet, Sufjan Stevens, Lightning Bolt, John Vanderslice, Jens Lekman, Broken Social Scene, Feist, Kanye West, Iron + Wine/Calexico, Dangerdoom, Wolf Parade, Blackalicious, Eels, Caribou, City City City [edit] forgot Pivot
Is the John Vanderslice album even available in Australia?
LibertinesFan:
No.1 : Maximo Park - A Certain Trigger
[Pure brilliance, definately my favourite album in my collection at the moment. They deserve so much more praise than they get. Songs such as Graffiti and Going Missing show off their talent]
No.2 : Babyshambles - Down in Albion
No.3 : Bloc Party - Silent Alarm
No.4 : Franz Ferdinand - You Could Have It So Much Better
No.5 : Kaiser Chiefs - Employment
elcapitan:
Some random thoughts, not specific... Note that I don't generally listen to albums, so these are just some of the ones I can actually identify.
Roots Manuva - Awfully Deep
Blackalicious - The Craft
Deep Dish - George Is On (except Flashdance)
Epicure - The Goodbye Girl (ok, it was 2004, but I didn't hear it until 2005)
Wolfmother - EP
