since its almost 2005, what are (in your opinion), best albums that came out this year. Any genre.

I can only think of one right now

The killers- Hot Fuss

Slipknot - Subliminal verses
Mastodon - Levithan

cant think of any others right now

Um... Alter Bridge- One Day Remains
Did The Beautiful Letdown come out this year?
I liked Chronicles of Life and Death.

We've had a thread for this before methinks.

36 Crazyfists - A Snow Capped Romance
Alexisonfire - Watch Out!
Soulfly - Prophecy
Incubus - A Crow Left Of The Murder
Otep - House Of Secrets
Shadows Fall - War Within
Fear Factory - Archetype
Head Automatica - Decadence
Lamb Of God - Ashes Of The Wake
Viktor Vaughn - Venomous Villain

Only the top five were 5 star albums though. Not a great year.

Panic DHH - s/t
Alexisonfire - Watch Out!
The Eighties Matchbox B-line Disaster - Royal Society
Death From Above 1979 - You're a woman, im a machine
Interpol - Antics

O yea I forgot Lamb of God - Ashes of the Wake

Velvet Revolver-Contraband
Incubus-Crow left to murder

Totally agree! The only album i bought last year that hasn't disapointed me!

its also the most overrated album of the year

Well I liked it

its been a bit of a dry year.

I liked the Nirvana box-set, cant say it contained new material though

lol...

it hasnt really been a dry year at all...not for me anyway

The Departure - 2 EP's released
Bloc Party - EP released with album on the way
Death From Above 1979 - you're a woman im a machine
Alexisonfire - Watch Out!
From Autumn to Ashes - Fiction we live
80's Matchbox B-line disaster - Royal society
Panic DHH - s/t
Moving Units - Dangerous Dreams
Interpol - Antics
The Futureheads - s/t
The Dillinger Escape Plan - Miss Machine

all been added to my collection in 2004

EDIT: how could i forget Squarepusher - Ultravision

Oh yeah I forgot Miss Machine.

Fiction We Live was ok, but weak compared to TBYB.

Nas (Illmatic 10th anniversary edition) -if that counts

Killswitch Engage- The End Of Heartache
Burning Skies- Murder By Means Of Existance
Heaven Shall Burn- Antigone
Sum 41- Chuck
Papa Roach- Getting Away With Murder
Atreyu- The Curse

Hm funny. They'd all be under my worst of 04 list, but there ya go.

The worst and best 2004 band album I bought last year was Contraband by Velvet Revolver

Cant really think of anything else

wow 2004 sucked

The Killers- Hot Fuss
Arcade Fire- Funeral
