i've heard 5 of those. a lot more than i expected

2. Though I have heard "of" a total of 8.

depending on how much you listen to what i say, like making negative posts about the Black Dice and LCD Soundsystem albums

Originally posted by neopryn

13 here. color me suprised!

Heard 14 of them. lots of wank

Depending on your mood, Twin Cinema, Hypermagic Mountain, or Black1 are probably the best 3 on that list.

Hey man, somebody is coming after you: http://mothersagainstnoise.com/

I like the list, although I haven't heard a fair portion of it. "Noise" and "weird" music is kinda all that excites me these days. CYHASY, New Pornographers, Art Brut, and the Wilderness all stand out like a pimple on a nose though. Not that they are bad, but its a bunch of genre music pinned up against bands trying to perfect pop music, for better or worse.

some people have shit to do

Chi Vampires is pretty good but neither of them are as good as some previous Birchville Cat Motel releases. i just kind of forgot about Chi Vampires since it came out in January and i don't think i've listened to it since a few months after that.

i think Merzbow gets shafted just cause he has so many releases. those three releases are all very sonically interesting, he's still tops in harsh noise.

i think i've heard three of those

broadcast is my number 1 and that's where the list ends

i'm postponing my 2005 list for a few more days / weeks. i've recently downloaded 10 or so albums from this year that i hadn't already heard, each of which seems to be pretty cool.

ahh i get it, it's one of the track names.

so, i gave that track another listen. and i gotta say listening to a whiny drag queen still bores me as much as it did months ago.

i guess i have no soul.

Originally posted by Illinois

i started listening to it just because of this song. after a while the others grew on me. i agree, there's nothing else on there that equals it, but i would call "my lady story", "for today i am a boy" and "man is the baby" good songs nonetheless. the collaborations are what really drags that album down a bit.

just out of curiosity, do you buy all the stuff on your list, or download it? or combination of the two? because I'd imagine that the price tag would get pretty hefty. I think I bought like 20 cd's this year, tops. maybe more, maybe less, I don't know. then again, I don't really have a "job". so yeah, answer the question.

this coincides timely with the ipod i shall be receiving for christmas this sunday.

Yeah, i've been preferring vinyl as well lately. Gives me the feeling that you own an ALBUM more than a cd does.

i know what you mean. but i don't have the money for it and now that i've started collecting cds i think i'll keep it that way.

and yeah i've downloaded lots this year.

and yeah i've downloaded lots this year. lp's are often cheaper. i've built a nice collection since i've started finding great second hand / new lp's for a few euros. maybe i'm just lucky that i live in a town with two stores specialised in 2nd hand music (mostly lp's)?

are you still on dialup? how can you listen to all that music man, you must have an insane phone bill?

yeah i'm still on modem. i don't go online to download things though. i go online to read things and keep the downloading in the **********. every once in a while something gets finished. but it was "loads" for my standards this year. my phone bill is indeed insane though, but i don't pay for it yet. my parents are complaining though. sigh, i'm an addict.

i wish your list was more eclectic. there was actually alot of good music released this year.

0. The Mars Volta - Scabdates

La Musica Viva. Non strettamente musica dal vivo, non stringentemente un disco dal vivo, e nemmeno largamente un disco in studio. Un qualcosa di meno definibile, più definito; meno vissuto, più vivo.
Come croste passate & date future, musiche presenti & musiche immortali.. .



1. The Mars Volta - Frances The Mute

there is light in the darkest of your further listening.
the brightest. the music. the mute.
maravilla. il più bel disco. sonando. sangre.


2. Björk - Drawing Restraint 9 soundtrack

suoni. così come Medùlla suonava di voci qui si parla di suoni.
Björk è maestra dei secondi oltre che delle prima, e di tutto il resto oltre che di questo.

3. Gorillaz - Demon Days

il disco di groove e contaminazioni più bello di sempre.
un monolite, disegnato.

4. ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead - Worlds Apart

The Best. pop-rock. at its.
una magnificenza di canzoni, ciascuna canzone è diverse magnificenze.
scintillante, schitarrante, schiacciante.

5. Omar A. Rodriguez-Lopez Quintet - Omar Rodriguez

free con percussioni latin. un divertissment. e molto più,
intensamente di più. da vivere dal vivo.

6. Dälek - Absence

hip-hop politico al calor bianco, mbv one-man three-men band arkestra.

7. Sage Francis - A Healthy Distrust

A Lethal Lyricism.

8. dEUS - Pocket Revolution

contiene i due più bei pezzi dei dEUS. Bad Timing e Nothing Really Ends.
è il disco più bello dei dEUS. è incontenibile.
ottima tempistica fosse anche uscito dopo 60 e non sei, poichè le attese sian quel
che siano van rispettate onorandole.
Barman scrive come Lennon-McCartney.

9. Jaga Jazzist - What We Must

What The(y)!? Music.

10. Eels - Blinking Light & Other Revelations

Non vale quanto Blonde On Blonde, ma quanto ci manca?
e quanto ci è mancato?
quanto mancava, un disco così.
incommensurabile. come dissi, e come si rinnova ogni volta che risuona:
un miracolo.

11. Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth

Disco sottovalutato dell'anno; molto più ricercato e raffinato di
qualsiasi altra robaccia NIN.
funky, groovy, si annidano segreti inconfessabili e robustissimi,
e netti, dritti come unghie, altro che fragilità e spirali.
con i denti ad azzannar carne. a far uscir sangue.
a far entrar tantissimo, ma non ce ne si è accorti.

12. Arab Strap - The Last Romance

quanto vorrei che non ci fosse ending davvero ai dischi degli
Arab Strap; intendo dire in coda ai dischi quanto in coda alla
discografia.
magari sarà è così; sicuramente nothing really ends.

why do people go through the effort of "ranking" albums by year, and then subsequently get flamed/flame someone else's list. what's the point? I guess I just don't see much of a difference between an album being number 37 or number 39. who really cares? like whatever you want to like, as much as you want to like it.

I feel cynical.

I did not see "TheFutureEmbrace" on your list. You must have forgotten it.

yeah, it is a beautiful album, and better than Loam. i think i had Loam in my top 20 last year though. unfortunate that Slow Globes went under the radar majorly. i don't think Troubleman put much into promoting it. you can get it on IT, or if you don't feel like that i can make a YSI eventually.

that's Slow Globes

this is also really good, Mouthus with Valerie Allen, really too good to deserve being limited to 100 copies.

i have to top 50 mix done, i just have to winrar it up which is taking forever then YSI it up which will take forever

despite your shortcoming, rp, your list is still way better than ptichfork's ridiculous list. talk about a website falling in to irrelevancy.

yeah, it's pretty much just a list of "what charted in the top 10 on CMJ this year?" with some major label hip hop and random pop acts that seem like awkward grasping. it's just so dull and kind of embarassing when you think about how hard they try to make it seem like they're then one pointing it out when it was just obvious in the first place...

pitchfork's list was hilarious this year, but you could see it coming a mile off with their best new music picks throughout the year, "oh that came out on sub pop, yeah put it on... matador, cool... cam'ron, YEAH!!"

i also really liked it how they gave multiples by keith fullerton whitman a 9.1 but didn't make it best new music, as if they couldn't make some that leftfield best new music because they have a reputation to uphold.

and i'll just get the torrent, didn't even realise it was on there.

do you think i could have a link to the top 50 ysi when you've finished it as well

hey daydreamer your list sucks because clap your hands say yeah is not on it

lol

i didn't actually listen to that album more than once, it seemed pretty boring and the singer's voice pisses me off, so i don't think i'm missing much.

fuck you daydreamer999

ounsworth's voice is the best thing about it. there are some terrible tracks on it but some truly outstanding ones as well.

I wish I had more time to listen to some albums that sure sounded interesting. These are mentioned in the honourable mentions below. I dunno what it was this year.

you know i forgot i downloaded this until i saw your request.

so i'm giving it my first listen now, and i'm thinking it will also be my last.

I always judge too quickly, it's really not all that bad.

i'd have helped you out if i'd seen this. it's not an amazing album, certainly worse than a lot of the things i ranked lower, but i enjoyed it more up until now (though i guess in the next few weeks it'll drop down that list). there are some good tracks on it

i came to unzip the best of 2005 thing and although when i downloaded it it said it was complete not all of the songs were there [almost certainly a problem at my end] and now the link has expired. any chance someone could put it back up for me? pretty please

*draws in dust with toe*
