2/3 of the year done... Album of the Year?

[Tanooki Suit]

Well, we're a little over being 2/3 done with the year, and we've had some notable albums already. This is what my Top 5 looks like right now:

1.) The New Pornographers - Twin Cinema
2.) Thunderbirds Are Now! - Justamustache
3.) The Decemberists - Picaresque
5.) Patrick Wolf - Wind in the Wires
6.) Bloc Party - Silent Alarm

[IcedOpethBlind]

1. Fall of Troy - Doppelganger
2. Armor For Sleep - What To Do When You're Dead
3. The Starting Line - Based On A True Story
4. Copeland - In Motion
5. As Cities Burn - Son, I Loved You At Your Darkest

......and way too many left off. This changes daily, really.

[Alex Djaferis]

every time i die - guttermouth phenomenon
armor for sleep - what to do when you're dead
bloc party - silent alarm


etc etc.

[Andy]

1) Kanye - Late Reg
2) Kaizers Orchestra - Maestro
3) System Of A Down - Mezmerize
4) M.I.A. - Arular
5) Bloc Party - Silent Alarm

[mat1419]

i can't do lists like this...but days away was the best album i've heard this year

[last light]

Curl Up and Die-The One Above All, The End of All That Is
The Bled-Found In the Flood
Darkest Hour-Undoing Ruin
ISIS-Panopticon
Gatsbys American Dream-Volcano

[Tanooki Suit]

And your nose is bleeding...





you've been lyin' to me

[albatrossxivy]

1. Limbeck "Let Me Come Home"
2. The Academy Is... "Almost Here"
3. Acceptance "Phantoms"
4. The Higher "Histrionics"
5. Coldplay "X & Y"

very close but no cigar: Ryan Adams, Bright Eyes, Armor for Sleep

[ActorInThisPlay]

The Starting Line - Based on a True Story
Jack's Mannequin - Everything in Transit (it comes out tomorrow so it counts)
The Spill Canvas - One Fell Swoop
Acceptance - Phantoms
The Higher - Histrionics

Coheed and Cartel will most likely replace 2 of those when those come out. BTBAM could make a showing as well as ETID.

[Tanooki Suit]

Why oh why did I even bother asking this question here.

[PaulR]

I think I've only bought old stuff this year...

The one album I've listened to from 2005 in Silent Alarm, but I thought very highly of it.

[Andy]

Why oh why did I even bother asking this question here.
My list is fucking quality.

[Love As Arson]

So far:

Gospel - The Moon Is A Dead World
Sigur Ros - Takk
Kanye West - Late Registration
Funeral Diner - The Underdark
Louise Cypher/La Quiete - Split

My list is obviously the best.

[EriatarkaHRD]

my picks

1. Cartel- Chroma
2. Death Cab for Cutie- Plans
3. The Spill Canvas- One Fell Swoop
4. TREOS- Between the Heart and the Synapse

[Andy]

I still need to hear Takk.

[elemenohpe]

05. The Sound of Animals Fighting - Tiger & The Duke
04. Darkest Hour - Undoing Ruin
03. As Cities Burn - Son, I Loved You At Your Darkest
02. A Wilhelm Scream - Ruiner
01. Between The Buried and Me - Alaska

and the more i listen to late registration the more i love it so... it may end up there by the end of the year.

[SkaBum14]

I always have trouble with this because I can never remember when albums were released. I always forget about certain albums, too.

[ghostyouare]

Louise Cypher/La Quiete - Split
Lewis and Clarke - Bare Bones and Branches
Darkest Hour - Undoing Ruin
Sufjan Stevens - Illinois

[Chemical Love]

Coldplay
every time i die
Jack Johnson
Steel Train
Anberlin

I duno, something like that I guess.

[dumbcorey]

TREOS and TAI

[poppa Q]

Sufjan Stevens - Illinois
Thunderbirds Are Now! - Justamustache
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! - S/T
Kanye West - Late Registration

Those are some off the top of my head that will be up there.

[albatrossxivy]

Coldplay
every time i die
Jack Johnson
Steel Train
Anberlin

I duno, something like that I guess.
steel train = AMAZING PICK
good stuff my friend :D

[idiot jerk]

1. emery-the question

2. motion city soundtrack-commit this to memory
3. armor for sleep-what to do when you are dead
4. alkaline trio-the crimson
5. um...this is a tough one. im really in to the new dredg cd, catch without arms.

i probably forgot a really good one. other solid cds this year: anberlin-never take friendship personal, and i enjoyed bloc party-silent alarm, alot.

[elemenohpe]

why does everyone like the new motion city soundtrack so much?

[albatrossxivy]

why does everyone like the new motion city soundtrack so much?its good but the last cd was better
its not top 5 quality

[elemenohpe]

its good but the last cd was better
its not top 5 quality

i just can't get into it. the first song on it is descent but it's what a minute and a half? after that the record just seems to be complete shit. maybe it's just me and i'm completely crazy. it just seems very boring and stale.

[shane hennessey]

treos is my favorite album of the year. i cant make lists.

[punkpixie]

I still need to hear Takk.
Me too. Death Cab is one of mine I know for sure. And Jack's Mannequin.

[Drew Beringer]

All I know is that my fav cd right now is Emery. But Thrice will beat that.

[ActorInThisPlay]

it's my number 1 of the year, that i'm sure of. i think certain songs on i am the movie are better, but cttm flows a lot better and i like it better as a whole.
yeah MCS is good but I think that there are just so many better pop punk CD's that came out this year.

[Love As Arson]

Trevor, send me that Lewis & Clarke album.

[Vanity__Dearest]

sigur ros'-takk or

broken social scene-(s/t)

[burnburnburn]

I definitely forgot about a lot.

Oh well. Too stoned.

[Drew Beringer]

I'll probably have like a top 50 this year cause so much good shit came out.

[Vanity__Dearest]

i don't think that much was good...opinion on that tho

[Darren McLeod]

I'm not too sure how it'll turn out, it's too early to call. Here are some early picks for the list, though:

Bright Eyes (both)
A Wilhelm Scream
Every Time I Die
Gatsby's American Dream
Death Cab for Cutie
Minus The Bear
Boys Night Out
Sufjan Stevens
Kevin Devine

[funnytalkinfish]

1. death cab for cutie - plans

[elemenohpe]

i can't believe more people haven't mentioned A Wilhelm Scream.

...and Between The Buried And Me for that matter.

[btbam > you]

btbam
gatsby's
the bled
acceptance
coheed

[dretti]

Waitttt, Broken Social Scene leaked? When did this happen?

[ghostyouare]

Waitttt, Broken Social Scene leaked? When did this happen?
I guess recently, I can't find it but if you can hook a brother up.

[dretti]

I guess recently, I can't find it but if you can hook a brother up.

Haha, I would also absolutely love this.

[Lueda Alia]

I'm bad at this stuff, but my favourite album of the year so far is Speak For Yourself by Imogen Heap. I also love Coldplay's X&Y, and Ferocious Mopes by Say Hi To Your Mom.

I'm sure there's plenty more but I can't think of any right now.

I guess recently, I can't find it but if you can hook a brother up.

6. bloc party - silent alarm
7.oasis - dont belive the truth

Set Yourself On Fire came out last year..

[Ryan Mills]

Well, we're a little over being 2/3 done with the year, and we've had some notable albums already. This is what my Top 5 looks like right now:

1.) The New Pornographers - Twin Cinema
2.) Thunderbirds Are Now! - Justamustache
3.) The Decemberists - Picaresque
5.) Patrick Wolf - Wind in the Wires
6.) Bloc Party - Silent Alarm

Pretty good list I'd say...Don't you think it's a little early to throw New Pornographers up there...I mean Christ didn't the album just come out. I have it but haven't listened to it yet. Wind in the Wires was pretty good as was Thunderbirds, but I don't think they'd be that high for me. Either way, good list.

[dretti]

1. Bloc Party - Silent Alarm
2. Sage Francis - A Healthy Distrust
3. Sufjan Stevens - Illinois
4. Every Time I Die - Gutter Phenomenon
5. Kanye West - Late Reg
6. Hot Hot Heat - Elevator
7. Coldplay - X & Y
8. Gatsby's American Dream - Volcano
9. Emery - The Question
10. The Bled - Found In The Flood

This was made fast, but this without hearing a lot.

This is without Broken Social Scene, Thrice, Death Cab For Cutie, Juliana Theory and many many others.

[Nick Lopez]

Pretty good list I'd say...Don't you think it's a little early to throw New Pornographers up there...I mean Christ didn't the album just come out. I have it but haven't listened to it yet. Wind in the Wires was pretty good as was Thunderbirds, but I don't think they'd be that high for me. Either way, good list.

just kidding, ryan. you're only a scene *** if mozart comes in your top five.

[Tanooki Suit]

[Ryan Mills]

Pfft, nah, I'll do it like last time and just hand write a list of artists with albums out from the year and sit there till 4 a.m. trying to organize them.

Between The Buried & Me - "Alaska".

[Mark is God]

Juliana Theory

[elemenohpe]

Juliana Theory

[Fullcollapse3k]

I'd still take TREOS.

[Crocodile Logic]

Coheed & Cambria

[Mark is God]

you're joking, right?

I skipped over the last three pages, but I didn't see Circa Survive anywhere. That cd is definitely top 5.

heres my list in no order.

Circa Survive- Juturna
Blindside- The Great Depression
The Bled- Found in the Flood

I have to save my last two for New Thrice, and Saosin if it is released this year.

::Crosses fingers::

You're the 1,000,000th person to say that to me.

Not really, just the second... but I'm sure it'll get up there eventually.

[Mark is God]

It was probably me twice.

[AloneInTheDark]

I hate making lists until it's at least nearing the end of September, because there are so many more releases that are going to kick my ass. As of now though?

1. Armor for Sleep - What To Do When You Are Dead (I'm an obsessed AFS fan, they're first album Dream To Make Believe is my all time faviorte album).

2. Emery - The Question
3. Boys Night Out - Trainwreck
4. A Wilhelm Scream - Ruiner
5. Jacks Mannequin - Everything In Transit

Would make my top 10 list:
Everytime I Die - Gutter Phenomenon
Bright Eyes - Im Wide Awake, It's Morning
Just Surrender - If These Streets...
The Starting Line - Based On a True Story
The Recieving End of Sirens - Between the Heart and the Synapse

and I have yet to hear Thrice, Cartel, and all those other bands that are chalking up hype lately.

[FullBlast_This]

Talk about a rough draft ...

1) Acceptance - Phantoms
2) A Wilhelm Scream - Ruiner
3) Death Cab for Cutie - Plans
4) Bright Eyes - I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning
5) The Starting Line - Based on a True Story

Worthy of a top-ten ...

Jack's Mannequin - Everything in Transit
Amber Pacific - The Possibilty and the Promise
Boys Night Out - Trainwreck
The Spill Canvas - One Fell Swoop
Houston Calls - A Collection of Short Stories
Motion City Soundtrack - Commit this to Memory

Oh, the potential ...

Cartel - Chroma (I've heard 7 songs and I believe it should be #1. However, I'll wait to the release.)
Thrice - Vhiessu
Coheed and Cambria - Good Apollo ...

[Manbotisdead]

1.Mars Volta-Frances the Mute
2.Kanye west-Late Registration
3.System of a Down-Mesmerize
4.bear vs. shark-terrorhawk
5.coheed and cambria-good apollo...

[poppa Q]

I hate making lists until it's at least nearing the end of September, because there are so many more releases that are going to kick my ass. As of now though?

1. Armor for Sleep - What To Do When You Are Dead (I'm an obsessed AFS fan, they're first album Dream To Make Believe is my all time faviorte album).

.
In my opinion, Dream to Make Believe is soooooooooooooooooooo much better than What to Do When You Are Dead.

[AloneInTheDark]

In my opinion, Dream to Make Believe is soooooooooooooooooooo much better than What to Do When You Are Dead.

Agreed, it had a more dreamy (and original) feel than What To Do When You Are Dead. However, WTDWYAD is not bad by any means, it's easily my faviorte album of the year. The boys worked hard on it, and I didn't truly appreciate it until I heard the songs live.

[Smithers]

has nobody listened to secret lives? that album is amazing.

after that i'd go with:
jacks mannequin
TREOS
emery
funeral for a friend

[Kif]

The Academy Is... used to hold this spot, but I have some serious rethinking to do after the release of Jack's Mannequin.

Finch came in a close 3rd though

[Bishop]

The only ones I can really think of.

1. Bloc Party - Silent Alarm
2. Of Montreal - The Sunlandic Twins
3. Every Time I Die - Gutter Phenomenon

[Nick Lopez]

cartel and jacks mannequin have been owning me. i honestly don't know. it's too soon to make a thing for top ten, though. i should start working on it mid september.

[Spicoli hey bud]

bump

continue

[As Derrick Rust]

I'm bad at this stuff, but my favourite album of the year so far is Speak For Yourself by Imogen Heap. I also love Coldplay's X&Y, and Ferocious Mopes by Say Hi To Your Mom.

I'm sure there's plenty more but I can't think of any right now.


I have it.


Set Yourself On Fire came out last year..

Only in Canada. 2005 for the USA.

[Fullcollapse3k]

I'd still take TREOS.

Late Registration by Kanye West now.

[As Derrick Rust]

The Holy Shroud will also be in my top 5. I don't see any other albums that will be in my top ten on these pages. Several Arrows Later will be number one just because its MPPA.

[ghostyouare]

The Holy Shroud will also be in my top 5. I don't see any other albums that will be in my top ten on these pages. Several Arrows Later will be number one just because its MPPA.
I thought ghost repeaters came out in 2004, it's a good album but it didn't have much staying power with me.

[Drew Beringer]

Right now my top ten includes: Thrice, Coheed and Cambria, Emery, Every Time I Die, Death Cab For Cutie, Boys Night Out, Motion City Soundtrack, Sufjan Stevens, Armor For Sleep, and Coldplay.

[splitsecond]

I have a LOT of albums that I loved, and a very strong top 10-15, but above all else at this point is Emery - The Question. Incredibly well written and performed. I think most people who are true musicians (not garage hXc dipshits) would agree with me.

[As Derrick Rust]

It came out early 2005.

I agree, The Question was my favorite until new Coheed and I know that new Thrice will top both.

[As Derrick Rust]

Also I'm looking for some information about this Lewis and Clarke band. Anyone have an official site link?

[FinchBulldog2]

Finch, Dredg, Foo Fighters, Every Time I Die, Vendetta Red, Coheed And Cambria, Acceptance.

[Louise Heng]

Also I'm looking for some information about this Lewis and Clarke band. Anyone have an official site link?
just know that they are freaking aweeeeeeeeeesome.

um: http://www.lewisandclarkemusic.com/

[Tyler Revolution]

1. Cartel - Chroma
2. The Starting Line - Based on a True Story
3. Mae - The Everglow
4. Jamisonparker - Sleepwalker
5. Either Acceptance or Copeland

[a typicalcliche]

The Starting Line - Based on a True Story
Jack's Mannequin - Everything in Transit (it comes out tomorrow so it counts)
The Spill Canvas - One Fell Swoop
Acceptance - Phantoms
The Higher - Histrionics

Coheed and Cartel will most likely replace 2 of those when those come out. BTBAM could make a showing as well as ETID.
you left out rufio :(

[mondeoman]

I suck at keeping up with new music but my #1 album of the year is Say Anything-Is A Real Boy. You're saying, but it was released last year. It's being re-released next month and this album has affected me in a way I didn't think possible. MCS could be a distant 2nd.

[the_narrator]

1. Sufjan Stevens - "Illinois"
2. Death Cab for Cutie - "Plans"
3. Coldplay - "X&Y"
4. Bright Eyes - "I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning"
5. Gatsby - "Volcano" (Soon to be replaced by Thrice, I am positive)

Noteworthy:
M83 - "Before the Dawn Will Heal Us"
Common - "Be"
Jack's Mannequin - "Everything In Transit"
Denison Witmer - "Are You A Dreamer?"
The Academy Is - "Almost Here"
Wolf Parade - "Apologies to Queen Mary"
Nada Surf - "The Weight is a Gift"
American Analog Set - "Set Free"
Iron & Wine - (EP & Calexico split. Genius)
M.I.A. - "Arular"
Cartel - "Chroma"

This was a really good year for music.

[selftitled85]

[ghostyouare]

Curl up and motherfucking die

[YourLatestVicti]

Nothing has really stuck out to me this year. I have a bunch of albums which are good but nothing has really kept my interest that long. Right now I'd probally go with Steel Train for the year's best. But that's more than likely going to change.

How about no.

Replace everything with Thrice.

[the_narrator]

Such an underrated album. Seriously! Denison's CD is amazing. It almost made my top 5. "California Brown & Blue" is off the chain.

[InvisibleNinjas]

armor for sleep - what to do when you're dead
fiddy cent as well foooool that dog is in the house mo fuckerare you kidding me? that record was shittier than Silverstein and Emery on crack

[hXc_pwnage]

are you kidding me? that record was shittier than Silverstein and Emery on crack
Nothing is worse than Emery or Silverstein.

Ok, I lied. But Armor For Sleep definitely is way better than those two shitty excuses for bands.

[InvisibleNinjas]

Nothing is worse than Emery or Silverstein.

Ok, I lied. But Armor For Sleep definitely is way better than those two shitty excuses for bands.is it just me, or do not only both of those bands suck, but they sound exactly the same?

[hXc_pwnage]

is it just me, or do not only both of those bands suck, but they sound exactly the same?
No, they don't sound the same. Nice try though.

But they do both suck.

[Alex Djaferis]

thrice - vheissu

the podcasts/samplers/teasers alone blow everything out of the water

[hXc_pwnage]

thrice - vheissu

the podcasts/samplers/teasers alone blow everything out of the water
Out of just hearing the first sampler and a couple songs, I know that this is the best cd of 05.

[InvisibleNinjas]

well they sounded pretty similar to me is all

EDIT: p.s. the coheed album won't even hold a candle to vheissu

[Alex Djaferis]

[hXc_pwnage]

Because they both try to pull off the cliche sing/scream poppy crap.

[InvisibleNinjas]

*applausei mean yeah i like it (good apollo), and it's a pretty good effort. but thrice's teasers just plain make me wet

Because they both try to pull off the cliche sing/scream poppy crap.if you haven't noticed from brousing over my profile or whatnot, i'm kind of in a phase of liking scream/sing/scream/sing right now

[hXc_pwnage]

Atleast you like Saetia.

[Andy]

So far Im gonna have to say Kaizers Orchestra - Maestro

[InvisibleNinjas]

2. Between The Buried and Me - Alaska
3. A Wilhelm Scream - Ruiner
4. As Cities Burn - Son, I've Loved You At Your Darkest

No particular order

The Receiving End Of Sirens - Between The Heart And The Synapse

I could probably change the last one easily.

[Anton Djamoos]

Mae - The Everglow

Finch - Say Hello to Sunshine

[SkaBum14]

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0009ZE91M.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg

I need to find me some Kidz Bop albums. They're awesome. There's nothing like hearing popular sexually-themed songs sung by a chorus of 9 year olds.

[yeknom]

I still have a lot of albums I want to listen to start to finish before I completely decide but I think by top 5 right now is

Jack's Mannequin - Everything In Transit
Motion City Soundtrack - Commit This to Memory
The Academy Is - Almost Here
Coheed and Cambria - Good Apollo blah blah blah IV
Gatsby's American Dream - Volcano

I listened to that Lewis and Clarke stuff. Very good indeed.

[Tanooki Suit]

it was the first two weeks of autumn
I kissed you on the cheek and gave you
flowers out of season and all
the people at the drive-in
make out with each other until
the second feature is closing
at the end and you're roaming
to find your keys in the lot

I took you out on Friday
we shared a milkshake at the
sock hop; when we were done
we went to watch the sunset
but it never sank as deep as
my heart did at closing
at the end and you're roaming
to find your keys and they're closing
at the end and you're roaming
to find your keys in the lot

[last light]

yeah, i remember him saying that he's been sick but i just hadn't seen him post much in the past couple of weeks.

Personally, Thrice is not even going to make the top 5 for me, unfortunately. I am a little disappointed. :(

[when 4ever ends]

I haven't heard Thrice yet so this could change but Cartel is my favorite as of now.

[Boring Pop Song]

And yea, while The Fall Of Troy''s album was worse than their first one, it was still better than Cartel, Thrice and Circa.

[Drew Beringer]

no wonder youre a reviewer now. LOL OMG WTF

Oh yeah, that's it! I also hate The Spill Canvas, OMG I'm gonna get fired!!! Dumbfuck :shake:

[Tony Pascarella]

Cartel, Copeland, Lydia. Anberlin is up there too. But I don't have any sort of ranking set yet.

You have a Quarterback's name.

Haha how so?

[Tony Pascarella]

Drew's post reminded me; The Spill Canvas is probably just out of my top 5.
