One of the frustrating things about doing the Album of the Year immediately the following year is that even though I think I do a good job keeping up with new music, sometimes new bands slip by or I don't have the money to buy albums immediately. What I'd like to do is do an album of the year for past years. It will be run slightly different than the way Nick does it, but each year will consist of three rounds. I'll start with 2000 and work up to 2010, and if its popular enough, I'll work backwards from 1999.
The first round is the nomination round. You don't have to rank them, and ranking them won't give your top album more points. Simply list your five favorite albums released in 2000. The 10 albums that get the most nominations move on to the next round, so don't pass over an album just because someone else nominated it. Nomination cut off will be Monday night approx 9 pm EDT.
DTVT's albums:
Transatlantic - SMPTe
Spock's Beard - V
Pain of Salvation - TPE Pt. 1
Iron Maiden - Brave New World
Enchant - Juggling 9 or Dropping 10
-
This is a great idea! That is so true that some albums you might not hear until years later, not to mention that some albums age really well and some do not. Anyway, my top five:
The Flower Kings - Space Revolver
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven
Porcupine Tree - Lightbulb Sun
Radiohead - Kid A
Transatlantic - SMPTe
-
Pretty much what Kev said.
I also agree with Kev on these:
*Porcupine Tree - Lightbulb Sun
*Radiohead - Kid A
*Godspeed You Black Emperor! - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven
I'll also add:
*Ulver - Perdition City
*Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory
Fixed so its only 5.
-
Mike Keneally - Dancing
Kevin Gilbert - The Shaming of the True
Pain of Salvation - The Perfect Element I
Spock's Beard - V
Steely Dan - Two Against Nature
-
Lightbulb Sun wins forever. Next year, please.
EDIT: here are some others, I guess.
Radiohead-Kid A
Spock's Beard-V
Iron Maiden-Brave New World
Don't really have anything else from that year, I think.
-
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven
Pain of Salvation - The Perfect Element
Ulver - Perdition City
Porcupine Tree - Lightbulb Sun
Radiohead - Kid A
Some that just barely missed making my list: PJ Harvey's Is This Desire?, Elliott Smith's Figure 8, A Perfect Circle's Mer De Noms, and Deftones' White Pony.
-
Spock's Beard - V
I hated having to leave that off of my list, but I like all of the ones I listed better, so it barely missed the cut.
2000 also saw really good albums by Kansas, Death Cab, Ayreon, Isis, No-Man, King Crimson, Ozric Tentacles, U2, etc.
-
Please Come Home... Mr. Bulbous-- King's X
Spock's Beard -- V
All That You Can't Leave Behind-- U2
My Favorite Headache--Geddy Lee
Lightbulb Sun-- Porcupine Tree
-
Hmm....
Radiohead - Kid A
Porcupine Tree - Lightbulb Sun
Ulver - Perdition City
The Cure - Bloodflowers
Bright Eyes - Fevers and Mirrors
-
Radiohead - Kid A
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists like Antennas to Heaven
The only two choices really, in terms of cultural impact and generally deserving the title, as much as I love LBS and Perdition City.
-

Yeah, I'm hoping it goes to one of those, they deserve it the most, but it's going to go to Lightbulb Sun without question :lol
-
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven
Pain of Salvation - The Perfect Element
Ulver - Perdition City
Porcupine Tree - Lightbulb Sun
Radiohead - Kid A
the be-all end-all of the year 2000 has to be Ulver. that record changed me, maaaaan. (but seriously)
-
Kansas - Somewhere to Elsewhere
Spock's Beard - V
Pain of Salvation - The Perfect Element I
Fates Warning - Disconnected
U2 - All That You Can't Leave Behind
-
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven
Pain of Salvation - The Perfect Element
Ulver - Perdition City
Porcupine Tree - Lightbulb Sun
Radiohead - Kid A
the be-all end-all of the year 2000 has to be Ulver. that record changed me, maaaaan. (but seriously)
Then make a list and include it and that'll be more likely! :lol

Ulver - Perdition City
Ulver - Perdition City
Ulver - Perdition City

Ulver - Perdition City

I feel like for this kind of thing you have to pick an album that really defined the year it came out in. Yeah, Perdition City and LBS are amazing albums, but Kid A and Lift Your Skinny Fists just define 2000 so much more in my eyes. It's the reason that Kid A would top, or come near the top of, my album of the decade list, despite not being in my top 10 personal favourites.
-
Radiohead - Kid A (best of decade perhaps?)
Porcupine Tree - Lightbulb Sun
Iron Maiden - Brave New World
Doves - Lost Souls
Coldplay - Parachutes
Not a great year apart from the first 2 for me.
-
This is a really cool idea. :tup
Pain of Salvation - The Perfect Element, Part 1
Ulver - Perdition City
The Flower Kings - Space Revolver
Fates Warning - Disconnected
In Flames - Clayman
-
A Perfect Circle - Mer de Norms
Children of Bodom - Follow the Reaper
Deftones - White Pony
Explosions in the Sky - How Strange, Innocence
In Flames - Clayman
Iron Maiden - Brave New World
Porcupine Tree - Lightbulb Sun
Radiohead - Kid A
Ulver - Perdition City
Boom. That's a damn good list.

he said five albums :P

Well, I'm really Avant-garde I guess.

Ryan can't count.

If he said in an interview that he liked Kid A or something, I respect him a bit more at least.
-
im only vaguely recalling it. i think he mighta called everything in it's right place the song of the decade. i usually only spin he song when im sttyling my hair. so, like, every day.

I'm a radiohead fanboy what can I say. I'm sure some other people here's top albums of the decade are more contraversial!
-

LOL WUT?

This thread is now a whirlpool of confusion with Kid A and Pain of Occupation's here in the centre.
-
he song = the song. as in everything in it's right place.
sorry guys. ignore my posts to get back on track.

DTVT's albums
(coming soon - I'm at work now showing a video to the class)

-
Eminem - Marshall Mathers LP
Radiohead - Kid A
GY!BE - Lift your Skinny Fists
Coldplay - Parachutes
JP and JR - An Evening with
These albums missed out
APC - Mer De Noms
Iron Maiden - Brave New World
Madonna - Music
RATM - Renegades
Pantera - Reinventing the Steel
One of the frustrating things about doing the Album of the Year immediately the following year is that even though I think I do a good job keeping up with new music, sometimes new bands slip by or I don't have the money to buy albums immediately.
While I know what you mean, here is the list of albums I plan to check out from 2000 and haven't done so, many of which, from what I've heard of them, could be good enough to make that top 5:
BB King/Eric Clapton - Riding with the King
Deftones - White Pony
Explosions in the Sky - How Strange, Innocence
Joe Satriani - Engines of Creation
King Crimson - The ConstruKction of Light
Sunn O))) - OO Void
Bela Fleck and the Flecktones - Outbound
Wyclef Jean - Ecleftic
Ryan Adams - Heartbreaker
At the Drive In - Relationship of Command
Johnny Cash - American III: Solitary Man
PJ Harvey - Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea
Outkast - Stankonia
POS - The Perfect Element Pt 1
-
1. Ulver - Perdition City
2. GY!BE - Lift your Skinny Fists
3. Radiohead - Kid A
4. Bohren & der Club of Gore - Sunset Mission
5. Chroma Key - You Go Now
all those albums are amazing.
-
DTVT,
Just wondering, the EotY Poll Nick runs, allows everyone to nominate not 5, but 10 albums. Is there a reason why these polls are limited to just 5?
-
My guess is it streamlines it for him.
-
My guess is it streamlines it for him.
This.
Also put my albums in the OP.
-
Ah most of my picks are gonna be the ones i was listening to my middle school years
Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP
Coldplay - Parachutes
Radiohead - Kid A
U2 - All That You Can't Leave Behind
Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory
I was gonna put Shaggy - Hot Shot as my option, but Radiohead Kid A was released that year
-
My guess is it streamlines it for him.
This.
Also put my albums in the OP.
alright, well. I guess the results of this/these polls can be taken with a bit of a grain of salt.
That being said, here's my list of 5 nominations.
Call Florence Pow - These Are the Plans...
Fates Warning - Disconnected
Kevin Gilbert - The Shaming of the True
Pain of Salvation - The Perfect Element I
Porcupine Tree - Lightbulb Sun
-
wasn't 2000 the year the the steel was reinvented? no pantera love on this forum (not that it would for sure be making my list, just surprised it's on no one's list).
-
wasn't 2000 the year the the steel was reinvented? no pantera love on this forum (not that it would for sure be making my list, just surprised it's on no one's list).
That wouldn't even make my top 10, but yes, that was 2000.
-
it's kinda weird. i was definitely disappointed in RTS when it came out, but for the past several years, if i ever get the itch to spin some pantera, its usually RTS (or perhaps TGST) i reach for.
-
just realized something even more shocking...no love for V: the new mythology suite. [insert appropriate smiley]
-
i'm also partial to spiral architect's, dare i say, masterpiece.
-
RTS is a shockingly good album.
-
For metal, Iron Maiden's Brave New World.
Then of course there's Lightbulb Sun, Kid A, and Mer de Noms.
-
Chroma Key - You Go Now
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven!
Pantera - Reinventing The Steel
Radiohead - Kid A

only 35 proper all-new studio albums in my collection; either 2000 was a really thin year for music, or I have a lot of cataloging left to do for that year.

SPNKr answers my wishes. though also has a bunch of selections ive never even heard of.
i'm pumped for this thread's potential to turn me onto some new music (retroactively new).

That was 6th place for me, and Sy X was 7th.
Also, instead of replying to your own response, you can just edit your post and add more.

cool that them 2 JUST missed your top 5 (i always suspect that many people don't really know about a sceptic's universe). i'm thinking we would have very similar top 10 lists from that year (and similar tastes in music).
sorry i was too lazy to edit (not that its exactly much more effort). i realize the multiple posts irk some people.

i'm pondering it. i could probably come up with a pretty good estimate. but not being at home, i'm wracking my brain trying recall all notable 2000 releases. if i make my list now, there's certain to be a deserving absentee.

Wow, this was a slow year.
I'm sorry but I have to respectfully disagree with you big time here. Those albums weren't that good (in my opinion of course) while there were much better albums that came out that you didn't mention here.

Motörhead - We Are Motörhead
Mötley Crüe - New Tattoo

I wasn't a huge fan of AC/DC or Motorhead but that Crue album is fucking :metal

FUCK I forgot about Kid A. Definitely that one for sure.

I can't tell if you're being serious but Lump came out in '95... their album in '00 was Freaked Out and Small. In any case, it was better than Symphony X :lol

Ah, shit. :lol Yeah I remember that song. I heard it a lot on the radio back in 2001. I was in the 5th grade but I had a basic understanding what "getting high" was about. I saw Friday and Next Friday at that age. :hat
I really need to check out Lift Your Skinny Fists...I'm going to now.
You may as well, yeah. I know a couple of guys that highly recommend it. :tup

Still waiting for someone to mention those "better" albums...
-
Iron Maiden - Brave New World
In Flames - Clayman
-
just looked back thru the posts. see now that reinventing the steel was mentioned before i stormed in, tripping out.
anywayz, i think i got mine:
pain of salvation - the perfect element
spiral architect - a sceptic's universe
spock's beard - V
symphony x - V: the new mythology suite
transatlantic - SMPTe
a perfect circle, bozzio levin stevens, CAB, fates warning, greg bissonette, nevermore, pantera, planet x, platypus, and radiohead in a 10 way tie for 6th place, cuz picking a top 5 turned out to be way easier than picking a top 10.
also: the smashing pumpkins were hit n miss that year, but i really like half the tracks.
tool's salival was damn good, but it didn't feel right for the list.
i still haven't fully embraced lightbulb sun, but it's coming (only ever checked out the album in the past 2 years).
i could see getting way into the ozric tentacles album from that year (or any year), but i haven't spun it yet.
-
Still waiting for someone to mention those "better" albums...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Inyg70V-QI
But, anyway, the three albums you mentioned are very good. In fact, that's a great list if those are your top 3 from that year. My only issue is the "slow year" comment. Was it slow because you didn't like anything else, or was it slow because you didn't listen to much else?
I'm not blaming you for not purchasing every new album to come out every year, BTW. That shouldn't be expected.
-
CAB, planet x,
Fucking great shit right here!
[
Edguy - The Savage Poetry
Damn, forgot about this one, amazing. A very special album from Edguy.

Funny, I recently started looking through my music library to try to make Top 10 Album of the Year lists for every year since 2000. So far I've finished 2000-2003, 2007, and 2010. Once I finish, I was actually thinking about starting a thread about it.
But anyway, my Top 5 for 2000:
1) Pain of Salvation - The Perfect Element, Part 1
2) Transatlantic - SMPT:e
3) Symphony X - V: The New Mythology Suite
4) Spock's Beard - V
5) The Flower Kings - Space Revolver
I've never heard of Ulver but with so many mentions here I'm going to have to check them out.
-
"Better Albums" ? ?? ..The Shaming of the True is my 2nd favorite album of all-time, and I've felt since more or less, soon after hearing it, it should be included in every single library on the planet (with an Explicit Language Warning sticker on the cover).
-
1. Ulver - Perdition City
2. Porcupine Tree - Lightbulb Sun
3. Radiohead - Kid A
4. Iron Maiden - Brave New World
5. Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory
-
1. Symphony X - V: The New Mythology Suite
2. Great Big Sea - Road Rage*
3. Iron Maiden - Brave New World
4. Porcupine Tree - Lightbulb Sun
5. Ayreon - Universal Migrator**
* - Road Rage is a live album. If live albums are not allowed, then Pain of Salvation - The Perfect Element, Part 1 can be added instead.
** - If Universal Migrator is counted as 2 separate parts, then my selection is Part 2: The Flight of the Migrator.
-
Exclusively prog lists all up in this bitch.
-
I'd consider those two separate Ayreon albums. I know they are now sold as one single release, but at the time, they were released separately (kind of like Opeth's Deliverance and Damnation), so I think they should be considered two albums. And as such, The Dream Sequencer might crack my top 10 for 2000, but the other one is pretty average.
-
Children of Bodom - Follow the Reaper
A Perfect Circle - Mer de Noms
Boysetsfire - After the Eulogy
John Petrucci & Jordan Rudess - An Evening with John Petrucci & Jordan Rudess
Pain of Salvation - The Perfect Element, Part 1
-
These lists need moar Bloodflowers.
-
My only issue is the "slow year" comment. Was it slow because you didn't like anything else, or was it slow because you didn't listen to much else?
Slow because I can't find anything else released that year that I like (other than a couple of greatest hits releases, but I don't think those count).
Interestingly, I hadn't even discovered those three bands yet in 2000, so as far as new music, this thread reminds me that there was none in 2000 that I was interested in (unless there is something more obscure that hasn't been posted yet that I am forgetting).
-
John Petrucci & Jordan Rudess - An Evening with John Petrucci & Jordan Rudess
Damn, I forgot about this. Changing my list.
-
I can't remember what the heck was all released then. These are the two favourites of mine from what I've seen listed.
Blaze - Silicon Messiah
Nightwish - Wishmaster
Transatlantic - SMPTe
Symphony X - V
Nightwish - Wishmaster
Wow, this was a slow year.
For some reason I thought you were a fan of Within Temptation fan. Mother Earth was released in 2000, I believe. I'm not that big a fan of the album, but that's usually considered their best album, isn't it?
-
Not that it really matters, but will a new thread be made for each following year, or will it just continue in this thread with a title change? I'm just curious.

I wow! I didn't even realize that. Okay, I need to edit my post and add that to the list. That would easily be my #1 for that year. That's another band that I didn't discovery until just a few years ago, so I didn't even realize that album came out in 2000.
-
Haven't checked out Perdition City yet, so here's my list.
Pain of Salvation - The Perfect Element Part 1
Porcupine Tree - Lightbulb Sun
Symphony X - V
Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory
-

Each year will require three threads.

I think Bosk needs to discovery how good Radiohead and Porcupine Tree's 2000 albums are.
-
compared to other years, perhaps it's fair to call 2000 not a deep year, but Top Heavy. Considering for me, it includes 2 5-star albums, which some years, I only find 1.

Just a reminder you never actually posted your 5 albums Soundscape.

So I listened to Perdition City by Ulver...very interesting. Dramatically different from the music I generally listen to, but I really liked it.

That's how it starts. :tup

Feel free to take it or leave it, but I'm going to offer a suggestion for this. One of the thing that is frustrating to me personally about these kinds of things and makes me lose interest is when they drag on too long. I would recommend that when 2000 moves into round 2, you start the nomination round for 2001 to go at the same time. Have 2 or 3 years running at once, and it keeps things moving a bit faster.

Yeah, this is a good idea. It'll also make it more likely that a good amount of people will participate and retain interest like they did here.
