Fiery, Its nice to make a difference. Cheers.
Now the massive buy up of all those who listed obscure names in their top 5. Hooray for credit cards. Does anyone in Aust know who is distributing The Coltrane/monk record here? I dont think Blue note have a local.... |

I didn't participate this time, but that list is spot on. The only thing I would quarrel with is...where the hell is "The Great Destroyer" by Low?

The good thing about this kind of list is that it avoids omissions-to-make-a-point. It really represents the albums the most of us liked the most this year.
And I'm pretty favorable toward the top four, seeing as how it contains my top three... |

RavingLunatic, Based on your list, I downloaded Thee More Shallows, and I love it. I also picked up NMH's "In an Aeroplane Over the Sea" based on your post. What a brilliant record. Thanks for bringing both of these to my attention. |

Wow, this makes me feel good. I'm really glad you like them. That's really what I like about these year-end lists. I'm always finding good new stuff from other people's lists. And congratulations on your good taste!  -------------------------------------------------- Anatomy to me is a homesick stomach and a broken heart |

eggTweedyegg is back on Metacritic ya know what i'm sayin'!!!
I only know the song freshman thesis from Thee More Shallows, but it's a pretty great song. My final report about 2005 is: deception. I liked a lot more the last 3 years. 2005 is a bit too much limited buy indie-rock "branché" canadian bands. Just wanted to say that my favorite album of 2005 is Wilco - Kicking Television and my favorite single is Low - Monkey. http://www.myspace.com/impostorwaiting I don't want to go, but i can't say i had a good time to be anything |

I just picked it up, so add another thumbs up. recommended. I'm seeing a lot of late Low fans....I am still stubborn for not picking up Great Destroyer. Secret Name/Things Lost In THe Fire are great, Trust was great in parts but un-even. I think because the last time I saw them live, I left depressed, where as the first time I saw them I was blown away...one of these days I'll give it a go...

I agree - The Great Destroyer is depressing, profoundly so. The whole thing is wrapped in barbed wire and metaphor - hard to grasp and persistently evocative. A "down" soundtrack for a (personal) "down" year.

Yeah I finally got the Thee More Shallows album and it's quite good. I'm surprised that it passed so completely under the radar. Sort of like the Books I guess, except not boring. This is the only place I've ever heard of them.

Yeah, just about everybody I know who's heard it likes it. Just goes to show how much luck is involved in gaining indie musical renown. Makes you wonder how much other great music most of us are missing out on. I've just found out that they've got a new EP coming out some time in the next few months, though there hasn't been a release date set yet. It will include 5 songs not on More Deep Cuts, a cover, and a remix of "Freshman Thesis." I'm pretty excited. -------------------------------------------------- Anatomy to me is a homesick stomach and a broken heart |

Interesting. I never got into the Books stuff. I really tried to like Lemon of Pink but like you said, it's just boring. |

Hi again, all! I'm not making any late changes to my list unless an album I hear is head and shoulders above another album in my list. I would put Stars' Set Yourself On Fire in if I was making it now, and take Rogue Wave out.
BTW, thanks for including the forum members' list. |

It's funny how time can change your impressions of a record. I've been catching songs from Sufjan's Illinois on shuffle, and liking them. I started playing the whole record as background music in my office, and I enjoy it a whole lot more than I did last year. I still think it's a bit of a muddle, but I like it alot more now than I did then.

Some of my conceptions of my favorite albums have changed over time too.
Wolf Parade and Okkervil River have me looking backand thinking '..meh' more than before. But New Pornographers and My Morning Jacket I'm looking back and liking more. |
