Favourite album of 2005 so far... (2 Viewers)

[Dhruv]

Most releases that I was looking forward to this year have been quite disappointing (Dream Theater's Octavarium, Opeth's Ghost Reveries, Kino's Picture, James LaBrie's Elements of Persuasion etc.)

There have been some standouts, though:
Redemption - The Fullness of Time (super-group with Ray Alder on vocals, his best performance EVER)
John Petrucci - Suspended Animation (instrumental, DT's guitarist)
Pelican - The Fire in our Throats will Beckon the Thaw (instrumental)
Iron Maiden - Death on the Road (live, the mix with the audience is done really well!)

 

[Ellie-Bee]

Athete - Tourist
Ben Folds - Songs for Silverman
Bloc Party - Silent Alarm

ok why does everybody on BOS listen to weird indie rock/underground music?

there seems to be an unhealthy concentration of said music devotees

Nothing has really interested me all that much this year, keeping in mind that I haven't really been listening to all that much new music lately.

ok why does everybody on BOS listen to weird indie rock/underground music?

there seems to be an unhealthy concentration of said music devotees

I'm not too sure how to define underground, but hardly any of the above listed bands could be considered as such. Indie, which is defined as a genre in which bands are signed on INDEPENDENT labels, again would only qualify for a few of these aformentioned bands. I remember the days when Interpol were relatively unheard of, the times before "Antics," where people actually listenend to them for their sound, but now I can't go anywhere without a hearing people saying they skipped half of TotBL because it was boring. Maybe it's the impeding HSC that is making me so cynical... oh well.

P.S: Does anybody else feel that Triple J has gone downhill? Also, thanks for letting me ramble on.
