what the hell was the best album of 2005?

[JayKeeley]

If 2003 was The August Engine and 2004 was Mabool, then I'm stumped on 2005.

Maybe Verisakeet?

At the time I said The Mars Volta - Frances the Mute, but I have grown to hate them utterly. Have not listened to them even once since witnessing the should-be abortion that is their live show. So I can't even tell if I like that album anymore, but I think I do. It's just not yet safe for me to do so with an unbiased ear.

So I'm going with Sunn O))) - Black One. Even non-Sunn fans can enjoy this one, but they won't allow themselves to. Too bad for them.

The cover alone should be reason enough to listen.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

or...

that stupid Mars Volta album.

 

[NAD]

I called 2006 the stupid one, not 2005.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

Well little Frances became stupid now right?

 

[NAD]

She's being neglected, but I can't call her names.

I think eventually I'll be able to love her so once again. I was just so bummed out by their performance, it was like watching a chimp war on the Discovery Channel but with less music theory.

 

[skeptik]

I can't remember this far back, I'll have to do some research.

Ali, I believe you picked Primordial - TGW for best of '05.

 

[Demilich]

I can't remember what I bought from 2007, fuck this 05 shit!

 

[Nico]

Mournful Congregation - The Monad of Creation

 

[General Zod]

Maybe Verisakeet?

Don't be silly. It was one of these...

Zod

High on Fire - Blessed Black Wings
Gojira - From Mars to Sirius

 

[Mormagil]

I'm going to have to go with NAD, possibly Zod as well if that was the Nevermore album I listened to on a car trip last summer.

 

[Claws of Perdition]

Don't be silly. It was one of these...

Zod

Correct.

Manilla Road - Gates of Fire
Jotenheim - Jotenheim
