Weird. I actually thought you were a proponent of this album.

timmyjoe42 · **Posted:** Fri Jan 06, 2006 4:24 pm

1. Sufjan Stevens
2. Antony and the Johnsons
3. Dandy Warhols
4. Okkervil River
5. Doves
6. QOTSA
7. BRMC
8. Soundtrack of Our lives

I'm sure there are a couple more that I didn't like floating around here.

Dalen reminded me of #9.

As bad as that new piece of shit Big Star record was, it made the Stephen Stills release sound like the glorious percussion of balls slapping against a stripper's ass.

Timis · **Posted:** Fri Jan 06, 2006 4:25 pm

all i know is that bill corgan's solo album is a pile

Dalen · **Posted:** Fri Jan 06, 2006 4:27 pm

I thought that BRMC was boring. Not bad, but boring.

Love the cover art though.

I think that's worse than being truly bad. At least you remember the bad.

Just curious, how do you feel about other AoL/Swans stuff?

mine (awful):

1. Weezer - Make Believe
2. Mars Volta - Frances the Mute
3. Deluxx - The Tidy Boy and the Crazy Bastard
4. Clue to Kalo - One Way, It's Every Way
5. iD and Sleeper - Displacement

-big gap here-

weak but not terrible:

6. Radar Bros. - Fallen Leaf Pages
7. Decemberists - Picaresque
8. Okkervil River - Black Sheep Boy
9. Jackie-O Motherfucker/My Cat Is an Alien - From the Earth to the Spheres Vol. 3 (split)
10. Sunburned Hand of the Man - No Magic Man

I didn't really bother listening to much really bad new stuff last year. Either that or I just forgot about it.

64 the silent league THE ORCHESTRA, SADLY, HAS REFUSED
65 the shortwave set THE DEBT COLLECTION
66 jose gonzalez VENEER
67 field music FIELD MUSIC
68 brakes GIVE BLOOD
69 entrance WANDERING STRANGER
70 wolf parade APOLOGIES TO THE QUEEN MARY
71 magnetophone THE MAN WHO ATE THE MAN
72 the national ALLIGATOR
73 momus OTTO SPOOKY

Only Momus was truly abysmal, 'Alligator' I didn't like at all and the rest just weren't very good but you could salvage a track or two from most of them.

i dont buy many albums that I don't already know quite a bit about, but I would say Coldplay was the most boring thing I bought this year.

it just drags for me compared to his earlier stuff, which is kind of an unfair comparison. but i still like it. my only regrets are the time i wasted with my bottom 3. anything less-liked usually sees the "delete" button after a couple of spins.

puma · **Posted:** Fri Jan 06, 2006 5:46 pm

i didn't rank ALL of my 2005 releases, but i'll tell you this much.

very disappointed by:
death cab- plans
royskopp- the understanding

didn't get the hype:
the national- alligator
antony & the johnsons- i am a bird now
coldplay- x&y

meh:
kaiser chiefs- employment
sufjan stevens- illnois
sleater kinney- the woods

and a straight up what the fuck! please poke out my eardrums:
weezer- make believe
mars volta- francis the mute
