Keith’s Top 10 Albums of 2005
The guitars are so technical and solid, how could you not like this one?
It’s spoon! defintely one of my favorite bands of all time and this release does not dissapoint.
“Pencil Rot” has to have the best intro to a quirky pop cd that i have ever heard.
Freak? Folk? Just Plain Crazy? Call it what you want, but its incredibly creative and makes for quite an interesting listen
Can this man write a song or what? Anyone who discovers a town who basically worships superman himself and writes a song about it (”Man of metropolis steals our hearts”) and who plays a mean banjo definitely makes my top 10.
Pure poppy goodness. Brilliant use of multiple bass lines that intertwine. If you ever get a chance to see this band live, jump at it!
Their best effort yet! Mass Romantic comes close, but isn’t quite as good. Dan Bejar’s additions match up to Carl Newman’s for the very first time.
The most immediate record Sigur Ros has released so far. Emotive, ambient with pounding drums and even a 2 minute long track for those without the patience for the epic-lengths.
The Welsh Gods pump out another masterpiece. Tell me lazer beam isn’t one of the catchiest songs you’ve heard all year.
Way more cohesive effort than You Forgot It in People. Even more members. Solid, clunky basslines. Great vocal addtions from Feist. I want them to play my birthday party.
