I'm guessing Chutes Too Narrow was released in the UK in 2004, right? Other than that I can't think of anything that doesn't belong on that list. I was disappointed with the new Steve Earle, but I can forgive him since it was rushed out in time for the election.

Some LP's I've been meaning to pick up.

The Shins was released in April 04 in the UK. However Arcade Fire isn't released until Feb 05 here and yet it's on the list!

Very, very nice and seems to rank high if included on any end of the year list, meaning heard. This album is so amazing and hope that somehow it is picked up by someone in the US for proper release, my number five at the moment.
