Natioal - Alligator
I never would've thought I'd really like this album, seeing how I listened to it over and over last year and never saw anything very good about it (aside from the brilliant closer "Mr. November"). Amazingly enough, though, I really like this record. It reminds me of that Onion story: "It Was That Seventh Subscription Renewal Card That Finally Convinced Me" or something like that. A top-20 2005 record for me now. |

Like Alligator, though 2005 in retrospect was so strong and deep, I don't know if it breaks my top twenty... But every time I listen to Sunset Tree or Blinking Lights, they move up a notch...it's not so much the music but the incredibly emotional clarity to the narratives of the albums. I think I had Tree 5 or 6 at Year's end, After The Woods, Black Sheep Boy, Z, and Illinois, but it has definitely moved ahead of Z and Illinois for me. Eels are still holding down the 6th spot. While on topic, I have to say another 2005 release I've come to Love is the Jens Lenkman compilation...He's just got a great dry sense of humor. |

Jens Lekman's CD was awesome, I totally forgot about that one thanks for reminding me! "Violence, she solved everything" |

The Drones - Wait Long By The River and the Bodies of Your Enemies Will Float By
would have been somewhere in the top of my best of 2005 if I had discovered it in time. |

Matt Sweeny & Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - '"Superwolf"
Great album. This certainly would have been in my top ten or so last year. |

Yeah, I agree with Joji. Superwolf was way better than I expected based on reviews. I almost bought it at Borders, but went for "Multiply" by Jamie Lidell instead.
But...I really don't feel like changing my list anymore. |

I bought my copy at Borders
 !I have another! Emperor X- Central Hug/Friendarmy/Fractaldunes I had one song form this album for forever, then finally got the rest of the album yesterday. It's a real consistent, enjoyable pop album. Reminds me a lot of Why? |
