Comments on: Top Ten Albums Of 2005 http://www.cineblog.org/2006/01/18/top-10-albums-of-the-year/ Its not just for movies anymore Sat, 11 Sep 2010 01:04:21 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Socialretard http://www.cineblog.org/2006/01/18/top-10-albums-of-the-year/#comment-9 Socialretard Thu, 19 Jan 2006 19:21:19 +0000 http://www.cineblog.org/?p=11#comment-9 Roya...I'd really like to see your most-hated albums list if you find the time to post it somewhere. I understand your dislike of the A Frames vocals. I don't mind the monotone robot voice thing so much. Anyway, see them live and I think you might be won over. There's nothing I'm wildly enthusiastic about from 2005 except maybe the A Frames. I also admire all the work that went into the Illinois record by Sufjan Stevens. He obviously did a lot of research and wrote some interesting songs (even if I don't appreciate the way some of those songs sound). His song about John Wayne Gacy is pretty fucking chilling. I think a better list for me would be favorite songs of 2005. There were a lot of records that had one or two great songs hidden in the mediocrity.

Do The Bambi, by Stereo Total. Which appropriately enough has one of the best songs on it, Cinemania, which was used as the title song for the movie of the same name. It was seeing the movie at SIFF that I first heard them. Several years later in 2005 they released it on album and toured, with a totally awesome set featuring none other than The Gossip opening.

They were the first punk rock show I went to, back when Why Do They Call Me Mr. Happy? was released, at the Capitol Theatre backstage in Olympia. We all stood around outside waiting while my brother started randomly singing their songs with a couple other friends. Suddenly everyone started singing them together. DO YOU KNOW THE MEANING OF THIS IS LOVE THIS IS LOVE over and over again. Anyway. 2005 was a disappointment to me, and my list of most-hated albums would be massively longer than most-liked. The A-Frames' album had so much potential but the vocals aren't doing it for me. The only one that I can even begin to give a slight nod to is The Sunset Tree by Mountain Goats, and only because "This Year" is such a gut-wrenchingly great song. NoMeansNo kicks it.
