Best Album(s) of 2004

[keithy_19]

I was looking at the worst movie thread, and I thought to myself why not a thread about the best music that came out.

I have two nominations for this.

My Chemical Romance-'3 cheers for sweet revenge'

jimmy eat world-'futures'

Other albums that could be up there could be 'American Idiot' by green day, or chevelles latest effort 'this type of thinking (could du us in)'.

What say you?

I forgot about the Clash! I knew they reissued London Calling but I forgot about the other album that came with it.

I also forgot about social distortions album, which I haven't picked up yet, though I plan too.

The beastie boys album actually dissapointed me.

That "London Calling" re-issue was a joke.

In a year of fantastic re-issues, that one stunk up the place. The "extras" consisted of really, REALLY shitty demos. Booooo. The only worth getting was the DVD.

I heard that the demo's and un released songs were actually good. I never actually heard it, so I can't pass judgemnet. But it's coming from the greatest band ever, so it has to be good.

i was gonna say the Disturbed album with "Down With The Sickness" song on it because i only heard it this past year but it turns out it came out in 2000... where the frik have I been?

No, it doesn't.

Some songs were abandoned at a certain stage for a reason. Or changed, or re-written. These are pure fillers, through and through. Nothing "new" or unreleased. Only practice versions of thes ongs that made it to the album, and none of them are really any different except that they sound like they were recorded with shittier equipment. Complete waste of disc space, and a joke of a re-issue. The sound isn't even re-mastered or anything. It's basically just a desperate grasp at grabbing cash, and I'm saying that as a giant Clash fan...I couldn't wait for this to come out, and it ended up being one of the worst music purchases I've ever made. A total rip-off if you already own "London Calling."

Lamb of God- Ashes of the Wake

Great new Metal. They are the future

Avril Lavigne-Under My Skin

Total pussy shit, but I started to like it.

But the BEST thing I heard this year is this:

Metroid Metal.com (http://www.metroidmetal.com)

Amazing. I heard about it from a link off this site, and I've been hooked ever since. I became a sponsor of his site, and he sent us all a CD-R of the final project a few weeks ago. Amazing.

The Blue Album delux is pretty nice, though I was dissapointed with the b-sides. It had i's good but I thought there could've been more.

http://64.177.177.182/katylina/keithy.gif

[Meve]

wow, surprised no one said Muse: Absolution that's my pick by far

"Suck it. Suck it dry"

[fluffernutter]

By far the best album I have heard in quite some time has to be

American Idiot by Green Day.

It was just so complete. PERIOD!

Other goodies I got this year:

Pelican - Australasia

If you ever liked Kyuss or just want to drift off into a fucking groove like you never heard in your life, check this out. No vocals and the music just carries you away.

Mastodon - Leviathan

Heavy and crushing yet melodic and deep. This telling of Herman Melville's Moby Dick put to music was one of the best ROCK records I heard all year. A definite classic in every sense of the word.

SNFU - In Time and In Between Time

Not only pulling from the Stampede Wrestling broadcasts of old but these old fossils from Vancouver can still put out a good album. Hence the whole reason I started the bands who could literally shit on a record and I would listen thread. Good fun skate punk that has never lost an edge. That Chi-Pig is pretty witty too.

planesmistakenforstars - up in them guts

Maybe it is just because I got it but this reminds me of the early Jawbreaker stuff but a tad bit heavier. Just some fucking rock that will make you move. Good stuff. Nice to see Gainesville still has some good bands.

My Chemical Romance - Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge

It made me moist. Enough said. This album just kicks ass.

[PaulyLooseBowel]

I just picked up "Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes" by Tv on the Radio. I decided to get it after I saw them open for the Pixies. Very good live band.

[keithy_19]

I'm going to go with My Chemical Romance-'Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge.

http://64.177.177.182/katylina/keithy.gif

[PaulyLooseBowel]

MY favorite album of the year was "Talkie Walkie" by Air.

[Bulldogcakes]

Well since I have a sick obsession with things Asian my vote goes to

There's nothing sick about an Asian obsession. I recommend it highly.

easily the 5 best albums of 2004 (most of which have been mentioned) were:

the libertines - the libertines
the trashcan sinatras - weightlifting
elliott smith - from a basement on the hill
snow patrol - final straw
muse - absolution

runner up - interpol's antics

interpol's antics


I bought this album expecting great things and I couldn't get into it. I'm open with my music too, but I just couldn't. Top 5, which has been after a lot of thought.(in no particular order)

Say Anything-'...is a real boy'

My Chemical Romanc-'three cheers for sweet revenge

Snow Patrol-'final straw'

Modest Mouse-'good news for people who like bad news'

There's actually a band called "Say Anything?!?"

Two guesses what kind of music they play.

No...just one. It's too obvious.

they can't play the really good ones because they are 9 minutes long. And you actually wasted time writing Avril Lavigne, so any comment you have on anything non-Metal has to be scrutinized greatly.
