Arcade Fire - Funeral


Genre
Indie Rock
Post Rock


year: 2005 - review: Listening to the masterwork two years after it's release is a sign of hope; Funeral still retains it amazing imagery, majestic instrumentals, and lush sound landscapes. A masterpiece of what should be regarded as epic proportions; the album ranks along with OK Computer as modern classics, and as the urgency of the songs in Funeral suggest, Arcade Fire won't go away, and whilst they may never match this again, Funeral remains a flawless, dynamic, invigorating piece of art.

Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth


Genre
Industrial-Rock
Alternative


year: 2005 - review: Bring it on. Every NIN album I've had the pleasure of witnessing has been a different treat. I owe so much of my life to this man and his incredible insights. With Teeth may be a bit more slick, but it's tight and executed with complete perfection.
