Larsen B Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 takk by sigur rostheir performance in berlin this summer was one of the gigs of the year and the album has not disappointed. a faultless album which makes me feel amazing any time i listen to iti cant wait for larsen b/jimmy jazz to have a most positive input into this thread. he is the biggest sigur ros fans i have ever had a thirty mintue post rock gush with in my lifeHaha, firstly there is an older thread by moi about the best albums of the year. Secondly, i don't hate Sigur Ros, they just don't do anythind profound like people think they do, they just make ear candy. And so to the matter in hand if I have to say one album it would be Funeral by Arcade Fire (UK release before any import-buying hipsters try to show off (edit: oops they already have)), but it's very very closely followed by Mew and the Glass Handed Kites and Before the Dawn Heals Us by M83. There have been heaps of other ace albums this year though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nullmouse Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 (UK release before any import-buying hipsters try to show off (edit: oops they already have))Blimey I'm not that keen, I'm sure I bought my copy in One Up - I just know I had it for the drive down south last Christmas.Forgot Mew, too - Was converted to them this year. Tompaulin's album is also very good, and I also forgot them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Takk is currently playing as I'm reading this thread. I'd say that its up there with the best. I just wish I could pronounce the song titles. Plans by Death Cab For Cutie. Though most fans don't think its anything special, by the time it came out I was gagging for more DCFC, so anything would have made my life. It just so happens that Plans was infact wonderful. No Transatlanticism, but nothing ever will be.Supernature by Goldfrapp. Loved it when it first came out, kinda went off it for a bit, but recently returned to it and adore it more than ever. The soundtrack to alcohol induced dancing. Confusing choice of singles from it though.Push The Button by The Chemical Brothers. I think that was this year... Yeah, it must have been. Great album, start to finish. Usually it wouldn't be in my list of the best, but there haven't been that many albums which really appeal to me this year. The Prodigys greatest hits album was good, but that doesn't really count. Erm. Yeah. Probably a few others floating about that I was fond of. I guess I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning is pretty good. I was also fond of Digital Ash though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull Commander Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Best album of the year for me: American Head Charge - The Feeding.Other notables:Depeche Mode- Playing the angelNine Inch Nails- With TeethAudioslave- Out Of ExileElectric Six- Senor SmokeBilly Corgan- The future embrace (Starts strong, but the quality fades at the end, apart from the magnificant Walking Shade).Soulfly- Dark AgesDevildriver- The Fury Of Our MakerEels- Blinking Lights and Other RevelationsFoo Fighters- In Your HonourParadise Lost - Paradise LostTaproot- Blue Sky Research (Surprise of the year!)Albums I didn't think much of:Alec Empire- Futurist (In the words of Alan Partridge, "Thats Just a Noise")Bullet For My Valentine- I can't even remember the name of the album, but it was awful.Disturbed- Ten Thousand Fists (beefy guitar riff, 'Mad' Davy makes odd squaking noise, repeat till exaustion).System of a down- Hypnotise/Mezmerise- Wacky music/music for dullards, apart from the amzing BYOB, which is one of the best singles of the year.

TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 THe only one that really springs to mind is Funeral by The Arcade Fire... Most dissapointing was Billy Corgan's solo record. No matter how many times I've listened to it, I can't get over it being poo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afro Droid Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 I going to ripped to shit for this...One Way Ticket to Hell...and Back - The Darknesss (Fucking incredible, it can't fail to put me in a good mood, I can't stop listening to it)Late Registration - Kanye WestGinger's new solo record would be on my list probably, if there hadn't been the predictably inevitable problems getting it....

Guest pop-notmyface Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 oh god, that "new" foo fighters - we all know it's not really new, it's just the tracks that didn't make the cut for "one by one". or at least they sound like it - very disappointing.

Sue Denim.. Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 I got to work and started itching' date=' thinking 'Is Takk the best album this year?'. It's actually been a pretty damn good year for releases in my opinion, here's my favourites:Dirty Three - CinderLow - Great DestroyerEinsturzende Neubauten - GrundsteuckBikini Atoll - Liar's ExitFinal Fantasy - Has A Good HomeLCD Soundsystem - LCD SoundsystemM Ward - Transistor RadioAlec Empire - FuturistLes Georges Leningrad - Sur Les Traces Du Black EskimoIron and Wine / Calexico - In The ReinsDesc - Jack In The BoxRaveonettes - Pretty In BlackClor - ClorKing Automatic - Automatic RayGorillaz - Demon DaysBroken Family Band - Welcome Home LoserKid Carpet - Ideas and Oh Dears65daysofstatic - One Time For All TimeThomas Truax - Audio AddictionThe Kills - No WowSons And Daughters - The Repulsion BoxPsapp - Tiger, My FriendSmog - A River Ain't Too Much To LoveAlabama 3 - OutlawBroken Social Scene - Feel Good LostSod it, I've realised - Takk is a frankly amazing album, but it's overshadowed by a January release. I've listened to this album so much it feels like it's been in my collection forever, so it's got to win over everything for me:Bonnie Prince Billy and Matt Sweeney - Superwolf[/quote']I'm surprised not to see 'Mourning Sun' by Fields of the Nephilim in there.

nullmouse Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 I'm surprised not to see 'Mourning Sun' by Fields of the Nephilim in there.Probably because I haven't got it yet ;D I'm really behind on a lot of albums from this year, and to be honest I was waiting for someone I knew to get it first and let me know if it's any good. The single out a few years ago was just a crappy rehash of old material that left me very dissappointed, but if the new album is worth getting I'll grab it.

SleevesMcginty Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 Its a good album but don't get the fuss about the reunion when there is only one orig memeber in this line-up? Certainly better than Zoon and the other solo album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
