Here is a quick list of albums that I really liked this year that could make my official top 10 list of 2005:
- Apologies to the Queen Mary - Wolf Parade
- Silent Alarm - Bloc Party
- LCD Soundsystem - LCD Soundsystem
- Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
- Illinois - Sufjan Stevens
- Late Registration - Kanye West
- In Case We Die - Architecture in Helsinki
- The Best Party Ever - The Boy Least Likely To
- Cripple Crow - Devendra Banhart
- Employment - Kaiser Chiefs
- Arular - M.I.A.
- Twin Cinema - the New Pornographers
- Howl Howl Gaff Gaff - the Shout Out Louds
- The Woods - Sleater-Kinney
As you can probably figure out, that is more than 10 albums
1. But I think those are my favorite releases of 2005
2. Some of these I am surprised were released in 2005
3, but that helps make the list even better. I shall finish said list by the end of the month.
- 14 to be exact.
- A few notable exceptions to this preliminary cut: Lullabies to Paralyze - Queens of the Stone Age, Guero - Beck, Howl - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. All 3 are highly recommended, but not quite as strong througout as the above mentioned.
- Those are: Bloc Party, LCD Soundsystem, M.I.A., and Kaiser Chiefs. It seems like those have been out forever.
