Author Topic: In Retrospect - Album of the Year 2005 - Nomination phase (Read 5608 times)

Dr. DTVT · « **on:** April 18, 2011, 11:13:10 PM »

I hope that participation was only down last go-around because it was the weekend.

Post your top 5 albums from 2005, order doesn't matter. You may list fewer if you would like / don't know enough of the albums. If you list runners up, list them UNDER your five nominations
List the band name first, uniformity helps me greatly in compiling lists
If you change your mind, just edit your post. Don't repost, or quote your old post. Just fix it.
OST's with a single artist and live albums are allowed. Best of albums and compilations are not.
Posts that can't follow these simple rules will not be counted.

Nomination phase will last at least 3 days.

After a slow year in 2004, there were a TON of albums in 2005.

My albums (alphabetical order):

Opeth - Ghost Reveries (how did I miss this the first time?)
Redemption - The Fullness of Time
Riverside - Second Life Syndrome
Shadow Gallery - Room V
Spock's Beard - Octane

(yup...no DT)

The Mars Volta - Frances The Mute
Porcupine Tree - Deadwing
Protest The Hero - Kezia
Ulver - Blood Inside
Venetian Snares - Rossz Csillag Allat Született

Holy shit, best year of the decade.

I'd like Blood Inside to win, but as that's obviously not going to happen, I think I'll be heavily backing Deadwing here. As much as I love Dream Theater I'd really rather not see Octavarium win this...

Oh, wow, 2005 was great.

Ulver - Blood Inside
Dredg - Catch Without Arms
Bright Eyes - Digital Ash in a Digital Urn
Depeche Mode - Playing the Angel
Porcupine Tree - Deadwing

Honorable mentions:

Mew - And the Glass Handed Kites
Between the Buried and Me - Alaska
Opeth - Ghost Reveries
Oceansize - Everyone Into Position

A shame these didn't make it; I really wish I could include all of them, but I guess it's a testament to what a great year for music 2005 was.

Edit: Alcest - Le Secret

I don't get what the love for that record is. I've listened to it a couple times, and it sounds to me like 30 minutes of discernable instruments sometimes coming audibly across a static blanket.

The JMT album kills. Aggressive blues rock at it's best.

I also need to throw some love to Sieges Even's--The Art of Navigating by the Stars and Dark New Day--Twelve Year Silence.

Totally forgot about Sieges Even, what a fantastic album.

Oh nice, my friend dumped some music on to my computer and some of it was that JMT album. Putting it on now for work.

Then get Where The Light Is, which is EVEN BETTER.
