It's still October but fuck it, what are your top albums of 2005?

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Novembers Doom-Pale Haunt Departure
Nevemore-TGE
SYL-Alien
Tyranny-Tides of Awakening
Mourning Beloveth-A Murderous Circus

ah i forget what was released this year.

 

[DiscipleOfThePit]

Every new album I've heard this year falls way short of This Godless Endeavor. Before I heard the promo for TGE I wasn't a fan, now I'm hooked.

 

[NeverMarty]

Well, with WatchTower's Mathematics and Heathen's new album not looking to be on the horizon, even, til 2006, Nevermore's TGE will take this year by a a landslide, as far as I'm concerned. Nothing short of a miracle will keep them from being my favorite. Most of the other interesting releases were actually re-releases (Atheist, Gorefest, Vio-lence, Exciter, and the list goes on), but of the new ones, SYL, Imagika, Opeth, Exodus, Redepmtion, Meshuggah, Kreator and Primordial caught my eye and ear enough to warrant purchase.

 

[Jeff-Loomis-fan]

1. Arch Enemy - Doomsday Machine
2. Nevermore - TGE
3. Dark Tranquillity - character
4. Freak Kitchen - Organic
5. Armaggedon - Three (not from this year but i just bought it and its fucking awesome)
6. Opeth - Ghost Reveries
7. Children Of Bodom - Are You Dead Yet?(im not a COB fan but this album is pretty good if you ask me)
8. Aborted - The Archaic Abattoir
9. The Analog Project - Fight for all you're worth
10. and ten would be Berzerkers new album but its not out yet \M/ World Of Lies \M/

[Cat5Messiah]

one of the biggest disappointments of 2005 imo

Nah, Dream Theater - Octavarium was quite disappointing.

 

[Brett]

Nah, Dream Theater - Octavarium was quite disappointing.

They brought back the substance and songwriting, but it feels like somethings missing.
