What Was Your Vote?

[Jason Tate]

The Alt. Press "end of the year (http://www.altpress.com/surveys/13.htm)" survey is still up for voting (and of course we'd still love your consideration for some of the awards). But I'm curious what everyone is putting down for "album" and "band" of 2005?

[nerogtr]

Thrice - Vheissu

[Steve Henderson]

Album = Circa Survive - Juturna

Band = Fall Out Boy
(before you ridicule, I say this because they blew up this year and really opened up the door for better music to be played on the radio and MTV - whether it is happening or not just yet, but whatever).

[CarlRyan]

Bloc Party - Silent Alarm

[moises_naruto]

you know its fall out boy, why ask

[mikejonez]

Album-Life In Dreaming by Hidden In Plain View
Band-Motion City Soundtrack

[justinevans]

Album = Circa Survive - Juturna

Band = Fall Out Boy
(before you ridicule, I say this because they blew up this year and really opened up the door for better music to be played on the radio and MTV - whether it is happening or not just yet, but whatever).

i agree with the album....but my chemical romance opened the door for fall out boy.

anyway

Circa Survive - Juturna
Band - Death Cab for Cutie

[JOJOFACE]

CD of the year: The Rocket Summer - Hello, Good Friend

[Steve Henderson]

i agree with the album....but my chemical romance opened the door for fall out boy.

anyway

Circa Survive - Juturna
Band - Death Cab for Cutie
Good point about the album - MCR was my 2nd. DC was huge this year too.

Much love for the Juturna vote :)

[XBurnedDesireX]

Coheed in both

[Steve Henderson]

CD of the year: The Rocket Summer - Hello, Good Friend
Yikes. After about 2 mins that shit is grating as hell. Poppiest. CD. EVER.

[FeynmanWannabe]

No way he's winning, but I'd say Sufjan Stevens - Illinois(e).

[xxtheformat]

Jack's Mannequin - Everything In Tranist
And... Jack's Mannequin.
The end.

[nateisawesome]

Album : Volcano - Gatsbys American Dream
Band : Motion City Soundtrack

[Jacktheskipper]

Hmmm, let`s see, in america it`s out this year, so I go with Solea ... or perhaps Latterman/A Wilhelm Scream ...

[Goodbye Forever]

Bloc Party - Silent Alarm

And The Alkaline Trio for band... because I can.

[TheOtherAndrew]

Band - Against Me!
Album - I'm Wide Awake It's Morning by Bright Eyes

[JOJOFACE]

Album-Life In Dreaming by Hidden In Plain View
Nice choice.

[YourLatestVicti]

I went with Thrice for both.

[justinevans]

oh yeah i forgot about coheed lol. i've basically forgot everything since the summer.

[Merkin]

Band = Armor For Sleep
CD = The Academy Is... - Almost Here

theres like 10 CDs that I could chose, but The Academy Is... they will become something awesome.

[LostSymphonies]

Album-Life In Dreaming by Hidden In Plain View
Band-Motion City Soundtrack

Life In Dreaming is one of the most underrated albums this year, It is amazing

[GoWaitInTheCar]

Bloc Party - Silent Alarm

And The Alkaline Trio for band... because I can.

Alkaline Trio Best Band and CD.

You're right.:thumbsup:

[TryThisAgain]

Hmmm, let`s see, in america it`s out this year, so I go with Solea ... or perhaps Latterman/A Wilhelm Scream ...

Whoa haha Awesome to see some hometown boys/friends of mine (Latterman) getting some overseas recognition ;)

I'd have to go with Circa Survive - Juturna for album of the year, and most likely Thrice for band of the year

[SLADE775]

I vote Tate as man of the year. what an ass kisser i am

Band of the year - mae

Album of the year - Undecided

[bnrocks]

album: menos el oso
band: decemberists

[TryThisAgain]

I vote Tate as man of the year. what an ass kisser i am

Band of the year - mae

Album of the year - Undecided

Hahaha nice call on Tate...

[thebestkylever]

No way he's winning, but I'd say Sufjan Stevens - Illinois(e).

sufjan was actually number 1 on amazon.com's top 100 list. i was happy/surprised to see that.

my album of the year is socratic's lunch for the sky. can't get anough of it.
my band of the year is jack's mannequin for obvious reasons.

[WSUskee]

album the academy is
artist fallout boy not because there album this year was all that good but because what was said above and that being punk to the mainstream bigger and better than anyone has before.

[smalltymehero]

album - Illinois

band - Death Cab for Cutie

[Colin Farrell]

everyone will hate me for saying this, but fall out boy - from under the cork tree, is my album of the year. here is my justification: in all honesty i liked futct when it first came out i liked it, but by no means loved it in early september if you had asked me what my album of the year was, i would have said nightmare of you, most definitely, futct probably wouldve been around the 4 or 5 spot. but shortly thereafter events conspired which made me relate to this album and for that reason, it was propelled to my album of the year.

[thebestkylever]

Life In Dreaming is one of the most underrated albums this year, It is amazing

that album was great indeed. so many greats went under the radar this year. socratic, the forecast, vendetta red...

[resUrectMe617]

album, i'll have to say "Volcano" to me. Band for me would also be Gatsby, I just got like a huge resurgence to get into them this year. I forget if this thread is for what we think for ourselves or what we think in terms of the entire music industry thing. oh well. in terms of the industry, fall out boy and my chemical romance are the bands and most likely the two albums by those bands are the albums of the year.

[gengen]

album of the year: the starting line- based on a true story (go buy this record now.)
band of the year - undecided.


oh and socratic - lunch for the sky--very underrated. its great.

[jaimej]

Gatsby's American Dream. Band and Album.

[heartlock]

volcano is amazingly good all the way through

gatsbys has dominated cd of the year throughout

band can be fall out boy agreeing with uncle ricos reasoning

[ThisCutIsDeep]

Jacks mannequins owns both.

[fluke182]

Album : Volcano - Gatsbys American Dream
Band : Death Cab or Minus the Bear
We were close, I fixed it for me though. I can't rememeber if I put down DCFC or MtB...oh well.

[resUrectMe617]

ps. i agree socratic' s lunch for the sky was SO underrated. that album really surprised me, i wasn't expecting something like it. its good shit.

[dashboard1190]

jack's mannequin or thrice.

[tambo41187]

Album of the year: Lydia
Band: Saves The Day...I know they did not release a cd this year but i was just so happy to see them touring and recording again.

[thesego211]

how are voting for band of the year and album of the year different? shouldn't the best band of the year be the band that put out the best album of the year? anyway, jack's mannequin should win for both. coheed could win for both. the mars volta could win for both.

[thesego211]

[QUOTE=mikejonez]Album-Life In Dreaming by Hidden In Plain View
are you serious? there is nothing original about that band. they put out the same cd that TBS put out 3 years ago. what else are you listening to if HIPV is your favorite record of the past year? yikes...

[timmysavedlatin]

i lost track of what even came out this year. let's get a huge list :-D haha

i'd have to say vheissu though because that's made the most recent impact on me

as for band? maybe fall out boy just because at the beginning of the year, they were headlining chain reaction...now they're headlining arena tours...and no matter what people think of them...that's amazing.

[leafsacc]

Artist: Jack's Mannequin
Album: Armor for Sleep "What to do when you are dead."

[tambo41187]

It is a rip off of Tell All Your Friends, but so what, its still a pretty decent album. There is nothing more subjective than someone's favorite album of the year.

TBS put out the same cd 3 years ago hmmmmmm i am thinking tell all your friends is one of the best cds in the last 5 years but HIPV sounds nothing like it. HIPV puts on a great show and are some of the nicest guys you will ever meet. i am ashamed to say that i live in the same county as you now what are you a name taken hater too?

[IwishIwasCool]

There's more to a band than just the albums they put out. If you don't realize that, you have a serious problem.

Anyway, Band of the Year: Circa Survive because not only did they put out one of the best albums of the year, but they put on an amazing show and are super nice dudes.

Album of the Year: Minus the Bear - Menos El Osos, the only reason these guys didn't make band of the year is because their live show isn't that impressive, still an amazing band, though.

[dan.is.empire]

i did the survey a few weeks back but i think i put

Cd-Good Apollo...-Coheed and Cambria
Band-Thrice or Coheed.... i forget

i had a hard time thinking when i did it. fall out boy is definitely one that should get band though....as much as it seems like it's starting to suck that they're getting big, they did open a big door.

[sundaysetsashes]

i dont think comparing HIPVs album with TBSs album can be justified at all. at all.

[UrOwNdISaStR180]

Album of the Year : Trainwreck - Boys Night Out

Band Of The Year: The Academy Is...

[.lizzie.]

I can't even remember....I think I put:

album: the starting line- based on a true story
band: motion city soundtrack

[fullerm]

woweeee. can not believe the banter on here. with all the noise on this thread people forgot some important names.

Album- 'Eloquence' - Bottom Line. I gotta get that cincinnati rep in there. This cd is so well produced and so catchy.

Band- Cartel. I couldnt imagine a better year for a band and an even brighter future on the horizon.

[bankrom]

if their cd had come out earlier in the year, i'd vote cartel for band of the year.
alas...

band of the year: death cab
album of the year: tie between acceptance (phantoms) and mae (the everglow)

[finchalicious]

Album of the Year: Finch - Say Hello To Sunshine!!

Just kidding. Boy, thinking about that makes me sad.

[hype]

Album of the year: Cartel - Chroma (i can never get tired of listening to this cd, every song is a gem)

Band of the year: Thrice

absolutepunk.net loyalty babyyyy. if u guys dont get 2+ awards something is wrong

[UrOwNdISaStR180]

Album of the Year: Finch - Say Hello To Sunshine!!

Just kidding. Boy, thinking about that makes me sad.

Still don't understand the hatred for this album, its a really really good and different disc, nice to see a band take a step in another direction... Well to each their own

[DroppedUrPocket]

Boys Night Out - Trainwreck
MCR

[Chris Hero]

Band: The Mars Volta
Album: Gang of Four - Return The Gift

[finchalicious]

Still don't understand the hatred for this album, its a really really good and different disc, nice to see a band take a step in another direction... Well to each their own

I didn't say I didn't like it, I'm just saying I am just waiting for them to break up at any moment. In fact, I liked quite a few songs from it. It's just that news about them is barely covered here anymore. Maybe there is no news to report or something. And they never send out any info either, so I guess it works both ways. Argh. I just miss Finch is all.

Can't be too sad though. Luckily there's BRAND NEW!

[XpunkXroutineX]

Album - "Potemkin City Limits"

Band - Propagandhi

[murphy77]

band : thrice
cd : good apollo...-coheed and cambria

[annn]

[IamTheINDUSTRY]

album - secret lives / cartel / treos

[we are cured]

band: latterman

[walshknilb281]

album: The Receiving End Of Sirens-Between The Heart And The Syanpse
bandL: JAck's MAnnequin; dude the guy beat lukemia of course hes the band of the year

[The Revisionist]

Album of the year is easily System of a Down - Mesmerize.

I really can't pick a band, I am a bigger fan of albums than I am of bands.

[ForeverInADay]

band: Death Cab For Cutie/ Coheed & Cambria/ Saosin (for signing to Columbia and playing mainstage at Warped....and moving Dillinger to a smaller stage, what the fuck?)

album: Armor For Sleep - WTDWYAD/ Bear Vs Shark - Terrorhawk/ As I Lay Dying - Shadows Are Security/ HORSE the band - THEMECHANICALHAND/ Coheed & Cambria -Good Apollo./ BTBAM - Alaska/ City And Colour - Sometimes

[InaGreendase]

Album: Gang of Four - Return The Gift

Wasn't that more or less a compilation?

[xearlynovemberx]

album-jacks mannequin
band-boys night out

[LPMagic]

Album of the Year: Fall Out Boy - From Under the Cork Tree
Band of the Year: Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!

- Jeff

[JohnnyQuest]

No way he's winning, but I'd say Sufjan Stevens - Illinois(e).

yesyesyes. let's stuff that ballot box.

i still think seven swans is better tho, but that's just me.

I also voted for decoymusic.com all the way because i was feeling :FIREdevil

[FeignedPrfectio]

Album - Jack's Mannequin Everything in Transit
Band - first half you could say My Chemical Romance, second half Fall Out Boy, Coheed and Cambria could also be thrown in there too.

[derricklc22]

album - Illinois

band - Death Cab for Cutie


I'd have to agree.

Album - Sufjan Stevens - Illinois

Band - Death Cab for Cutie

However, for album I'm still not 100% sure, Jack's Mannequin, Thrice, and DCFC are all still weighing in.

[Loch_Doun]

band- FOB
cd- tough call on that one...

[imemokillme]

Minus The Bear fo real.

[p, FRY]

coheed & coheed,

[SteveLikesMusic]

Boys night out for artist and album.


It would have been VAUX's Beyond Virtue,Beyond Vice

but due to label probelms that album probably won't REALLY be released this year.

[You Got Owned]

coheed for both, it was just sooo genius :thumbsup:

[buried_]

Yikes. After about 2 mins that shit is grating as hell. Poppiest. CD. EVER.
what's wrong with pop? it's still music. and bryce avery one of most talented people out there today with honest, powerful music.

cd -steel train
band - cartel

[CaptainMusic]

Band - Death Cab
Album - Apologies to the Queen Mary - Wolf Parade

[nicoteen]

Coheed and Cambria, Circa Survive, or Emanuel for any of them.

[invincibleXL]

Album: Bodyjar/The Juliana Theory

Artist: Butch Walker (big shocker)

[BlackSheepBoy]

Bear vs Shark's "Terrorhawk" is easily the album of the year. BvS also garners my vote for band of the year.

Superb work here. Check out their 2003 triumph "Right Now You're In The Best of Hands" too

[IAMTHEcrowing]

Album - "Might as well be blind with isolated eyes like mine"....

Band - "So cmon bitch...why arent you laughing nOOOwww".... or ..."Ive been led to believe"... or .... "I fuckin' love that one rock video where that fucking jack-ass mohawked millionaire prances around by far the worst sausage party on earth.." as all of you lovely people can see, i am being quite indecisive..but there is now way i am taking any of these compact discs out of my compact disc player......and yes...i have a compact disc player

[Travis81]

Album - Mew - And the Glass Handed Kites
Band - Death Cab

[dan.is.empire]

Album of the Year : Trainwreck - Boys Night Out

Band Of The Year: The Academy Is...

i wasn't so excited about trainwreck...i think i expected more

[AbeLurkin]

For the interview question thing, I wrote:

To: My Chemical Romance
Question: "When did Tim Burton give you guys the rights to dress up as his characters?"

i chose falloutboy for band because theyve blown out of proportion. biggest to me means how many 14 year olds are at your shows...like blink at the time of enema of the state for me.

album of the year will most likely go to them too...i think there are better albums and i didn't vote for them, but i think they will win.

[brutusUbastard]

Album: Sigur Ros - Takk
Band/Artist: Ryan Adams. (releasing three cd's in one year owns)

[gil_ag]

album - Juturna
band - Thrice

or viceverse, they own

[TBSowns524]

Whoever said HIPV sounds like Tell All Your Friends, I completely disagree. I think they sound nothing alike. The HIPV album is ok. I can only listen to the first 7 tracks. Last 4 are filler in my opinion.

My Album of the Year would have to go to Thrice
Band of the year Gatsbys

[a speedo model]

boys night out "trainwreck" gets both for me.

[level4loser]

new propaghandi for album of the year

musician id trade places with for a day: elliott smith

[smogs]

Circa Survive - Juturna
Band - Death Cab for Cutie


my votes excatly.

[bung]

the mars volta for both categories.

[brutusUbastard]

musician id trade places with for a day: elliott smith

That would kinda suck, lying in a grave.

You obviously mean go back in time and switch places with, but I just felt like being a smart ass. Fantastic choice nonetheless.

[finch425]

album- soundtrack to a headrush-emanuelband-lovehatehero

[Ailite]

It was a battle between Thrice, Death Cab, My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy, but Thrice and Death Cab won.

[euphoria]

rocket summer... hello good friend

[llwin]

album: Emanuel / Chasing Victory / Hidden in Plain View
band: Emanuel / The Academy Is... / Nightmare Of You

[cahrishurr]

i still dont quite understand how the band of the year wouldnt also have to have the album of the year.....

but anyhow
cartel for both
