Album of the year so far

[wavin_goodbye]

I say Lullabies to Paralyze by QOTSA

thoughts?

[franscar]

One of:

Editors- 'The Back Room'
Sufjan Stevens- 'Illinoise'
Dive Dive- 'Tilting at Windmills'

Would've been At the Drive-In's greatest hits by default if they hadn't screwed the tracklist up and left off half their best stuff.

[Trimm Trabb]

It's an ok album, but I don't think it's the best.

My favourites so far:
Rufus Wainwight - Want Two
Kaiser Chiefs - Employment
Eels - Blinking Lights And Other Revelations
Gorillaz - Demon Days

jesus H christ - howabout album of the year that people have actually heard of.

LMFAO! I know I thinking the same thing. I was like damn let me get my spelunking gear so I can go DEEP UNDERGROUND!

But in my opinion it would be either:

Beck - Guero
Gorillaz - Demon Days

[paul jones]

'Lepidoptera' - Fursaxa

[Mr_Complex]

They're all brilliant! Pick any one you haven't heard of, give it a listen and I gurantee you'll be pleased.

[saml]

Edan - Beauty and the beat!

[Freebasser]

Demon Days - Gorillaz
No
Gorillaz - Demon Days
No
Gorillaz - Demon Days
No

[EN[i]GMA]

Edan - Beauty and the beat!

I haven't listened to many of the records listed, but this is a good one.

[cosmo105]

Demon Days is really great. you shut up, freebasser. you know NOSSING.

Guero has its moments but some of the tracks are really mediocre.

The Woods (as Mr_Complex mentioned) is amazing.

[The Notorious LOL]

Cage - Hells Winter
Edan - Beauty And The Beat
Beck - Guero
Gorillaz - Demon Days
Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth

[Freebasser]

Demon Days is really great. you shut up, freebasser. you know NOSSING.

Gorillaz = Fantastic debut album
Demon Days = Four good songs and some background music for when you do the dishes.

In my opinion ;)

[Parkey]

Anything out that has revolutionized music?
M.I.A. has the potential to if anyone hears it.

[EN[i]GMA]

Cage - Hells Winter
Edan - Beauty And The Beat
Beck - Guero
Gorillaz - Demon Days
Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth

I don't think you can actually say Hells WInter yet, it hasn't been RELEASED.

Granted, I too have downloaded it, but this is best albums released so far, yaknow?

[Darko]

Some contenders:

Eels - Blinking Lights and Other Revelations: Definetely the best Eels album, and probably the most powerful album of the year.

Gorillaz - Demon Days : Surprisingly deep, dark pop from a band that was originally just a novelty. 'Last Living Souls' is one of my favourite songs of the year.

M.I.A - Arular: With her, The Streets and Dizzee Rascal around, most of the best hip-hop is coming out of Europe.

Sleater- Kinney - The Woods: Probably the best pure rock album this year. It deserves to get a bigger audience.

Sufjan Stevens - Illinois: While it didn't really blow me away after the hype I heard about it, it's still a very solid album that I'd recommend to anyone.

Buck 65 - Secret House Against the World: Look out for this one, it kinda snuck by the radars. It's not perfect, but there's a few songs on here that are must-hears.

But the album that will most likely be my favourite is System of a Down's 'Mezmerize'. The album's only 11 songs, and barely over 30 minutes long, but it packs more originality and utter insanity than anything else I've heard in a very long time. It's like a mix of heavy metal, punk and reggae with some politcal overtones guided to perfection with Rick Rubin's producing. I can't even imagine how good 'Hypnotize' will be.

[The Notorious LOL]

GMA']I don't think you can actually say Hells WInter yet, it hasn't been RELEASED.

I suppose. At the end of the year I'll say that and Danger Doom though.

[paul jones]

Crazy Frog

[b-grrrlie]

The album of the year comes out in just a fortnight, on the 22nd or 23rd (depending what country your in):

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Howl





:D

[Mr_Complex]

The Editors are shit and sicken me to the very core.

[stillill]

If I had to pick just one:
Bright Eyes - "I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning"
Also Ryan Adams and the Cardinals-Cold Roses
The Decemberists-Picaresque
Maria Taylor-11:11
The White Stripes-Get Behind Me Satan

[Next of Kin]

i would have to say

Mars Volta - Francis the Mute

[DroppinScience]

Ryan Adams and the Cardinals-Cold Roses


Fuck yeah!

There's a lot of great releases this year, it's very tough to say what's at the tops.

Nobody's mentioned "In Your Honor" by the Foo Fighters. That one has the power to stop starvation and raise world literacy levels. I'm tellin' ya, this album is gold!

[ToucanSpam]

I'm going to jump the gun a lot and say


Silverstein-Discovering the Waterfront

I already have it before it is released. I guess this is my personal choice, not based on suces or popularity.

[b-grrrlie]

:D
And the whole album can be heard now in here (http://www.blackrebelmotorcycleclub.com/howl). :D

[CrankItUp!]

Stevie Stiletto - "Smell The Sock" The band hired porn star Lotta Top to pose nude on all fours and sniff a sweat sock.The title song is a punk version of Spinal Tap's - Smell The Glove. (y)

[icy manipulator]

No

No

No
what he said

Jamiroquai - dynamite

because it's the only album that i've bought that's come out this year

[icy manipulator]

Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth
true true

i think we have a winner

[Rancid_Beasties]

i would have to say

Mars Volta - Francis the Mute
YES!!!

I can't believe it took this long for somebody to mention it.

Special mentions to Queens of the Stone Age, White Stripes, Gorillaz, Bloc Party, SOAD, and maybe Oasis and Millencolin :o

[wavin_goodbye]

you're one of the few that actually likes it...

[beastieangel01]

I haven't heard enough of them to pick yet.

[omnistry]

Louis XIV: The Best Little Secrets are Kept.

It's an album that'll live on for decades. It's just plain awesome!

[Brother McDuff]

LMFAO! in my opinion it would be either:

Beck - Guero
Gorillaz - Demon Days


You hit the nail right on the head there. (y)

[Sandinista!]

New Order- Waiting for the Sirens' Call
Kraftwerk- Minimum-Maximum

Or, if you want a real winner: 12''/80s/2

Fuck your insolent new music; the only material from 2005 to consider is that which wasn't made by talentless pricks who can only dream of ascending to the levels of bygone greatness found in pre-89 bands.

[Calimero jr.]

QOTSA - Lullabies to paralyze
Nine Inch Nails - With teeth
Stephen Malkmus - Face the truth
Fantômas - Suspended animation

[Brother McDuff]

Go fuck your mother. You've got no fucking ears. (n)

[Sandinista!]

Go fuck your mother. You've got no fucking ears. (n)

The fuck do you know? You like new music, for crying out loud.

Before spitting out such senseless statements, throw out any piece of new garbage that you have around and listen to some Scorpions or Yaz. Then your opinion might be worth a its weight in bytes.

[P.T.B.A.I.]

Crazy Frog
Fuck yeah.

[Calimero jr.]

listen to some Scorpions or Yaz

You're helpless
:rolleyes:

[Mary-Kate]

It's gonna be Most Wanted by Hilary Duff, hands down!

[Kid Presentable]

White People-Handsome Boy Modelling School

[Rancid_Beasties]

New Order- Waiting for the Sirens' Call
Waiting for the sirens' call was really a moderate let down by them. I thought it was weak compared to Get Ready. It really lacks a great song, whereas I think Get Ready had 3 or 4.

Compared to a few other releases this year New Order's new album is a fair way behind. I still enjoy it, but Mars Volta and Queens of the Stone Age's releases were far superior, the rest I mentioned were in the same league...but still probably just a little more musically progressive.

[skept-a-cleptic]

Gotta agree with Darko

System Of A Down - Mezmerize

These guys just keep kicking ass...

[Sandinista!]

Compared to the shit put out by new bands, however, Waiting For the Sirens' Call is the record of the year.

And IMHO, it's their catchiest album since "Technique."

[TurdBerglar]

Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth


i still haven't been able to rip this shit :mad:

[Documad]

Sleater Kinney and NIN for me. I'm starting to like the Beck one. It often takes a long long time for a CD to grow on me.

I haven't been able to listen to the Foo Fighters. 2-3 songs is all I can take at a sitting.


Was the Mars Volta one from 2005? I feel like I've had it longer.

[RiCeBoY102]

Man, none of you cats brought up.....

QUASIMOTO

"The Further Adventures of Lord Quas" is a such a dope album. Madlib has really great production in that album.

[skept-a-cleptic]

Was the Mars Volta one from 2005? I feel like I've had it longer.

The Mars Volta discography:
2002 - Tremulant EP
2003 - De-Loused In The Comatorium
