NICKELBACK: All The Right Reasons

One of the worst bands in recent memory. (remain unchanged) One needs look no further than that the two clone tracks (Angst-Ridden) "How You Remind Me" and "Someday." How can a band release (Tense/Anxious) two tracks two years apart that sound nearly exactly the same?

The Soundtrack Of Our Lives - Origin Vol.1

Year:05 Genre: Rock Styles: Neo-Psychedelia, Indie Rock

Takes all the good sounds of the '60s & '70s and puts_them together in tremendous and bombastic vvays. Too bad_the lyrics are so half_arsed.

Buck Sixty Five - This Right Here Is Buck 65

Year:05 Genre: Rap Styles: Underground Rap

12 great Buck 65 tracks, some re_makes, some brand nevv, & 1 outstanding VVoody Guthrie cover.

Animal Collective FEELS

Year:05 Genre: Rock Styles: Indie Rock

This album really_makes me feel feelings I have_never felt before. No, it has_not been done by_mercury rev & the flaming lips before, this_is more avant_garde instrumentation & the lyrics differ_extremely much. A modern day_masterpiece.

Vashti Bunyan - Lookaftering

Year:05 Genre: Folk-Rock Styles: Folk, Singer-Songwriter

This is 1 extremely beautiful album. Vashti's voice_is unbearably gorgeous & her compositions_are minimal & evocative of a_lost, tranquil place_in a vvorld outside our on.

Adam Green - Gemstones

Year: 05 ♫ Genre: Rock ♫ Styles: Indie Pop, Indie Rock, Alternative Folk

Who else could write a great stomping cabaret-pop number with all clean aпd fun lyrics except for that one crucial line (and song title!) "Choke on a Cock"? This penchant of his for extremely obsceпe and downright childish lyrics can surely turn people off, but it seems to be an integral part of his artist persoпa. You do remember the Moldy Peaches, don't you? The contrast between his lyrical style and his voice sure is puzzlinп at times. How can this deep, warm, resonant, and utterly believable voice sing such poppycock? All that aside, just listen to the songs aпd be charmed. There's the wonderfully melancholic ballads such as "Losing on a Tuesday" and "Before My Bedtime," where he sounds like a dead riпger for Scott Walker. There's the catchy and fun, almost '50s-styled rock & roll such as single "Emily," while "Carolina" is another slice of woпderful cabaret pop, and on "Over the Sunrise" he suddenly goes all Jim Morrison on you. In other words, there's somethiпg for everyone here. In fact, all 15 tracks have stroпg musical qualities. An unusually strong, well-produced album of classic songwriting.

Feels - Animal Collective

Year: 05 ♫ Genre: Rock ♫ Styles: Indie, Rock

My Morning Jacket - Z

Genre Neo-Psychedelia Alternetive Rock

year: 05 - review: MMJ’s musical palate has radically expanded: the reverb and alt-country trappings remain, but they no longer dominate the band’s aesthetic. In nodding to U2, John McLaughlin, Sunny Day Real Estate, Mercury Rev, The Clash and countless other icons through a holistic approach to the pop canon, James and his band mates refuse to let sonics define them.

Sleater-Kinney - the Woods

Genre indie rock

year: 05 - review: Not exactly radio friendly, The Woods explores sonic deconstruction a la Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix instead of the preciously catchy indie pop hooks you’ve come to expect.

Okkervil River - Black Sheep Boy

Genre Indie Rock

year: 05 - review: With Black Sheep Boy, Okkervil River have made the kind of minor classic that will inspire obsessive-compulsive love affairs with the lucky people who stumble upon it.

Lcd Soundsystem - Lcd Soundsystem

Genre Indie Rock Dance Electronic

year: 05 - review: It's a classic case of debut album as faux anthology of musical influences, but it's also a successful collection with a marked sense of individuality, massively helped by Murphy's dry sense of humor, which demonstrates a willingness to embrace the contradiction at the heart of his musical personality.

Lightning Bolt - Hypermagic Mountain

Genre Indie Rock Experimental

year:05 - review: For the initiated, there’s true primal joy to be heard in this mammoth creation. You’ve just got to be willing to shed those tightly guarded notions and listen.

Sufjan Stevens - Illinoise

year: 05 - review: Someday the Smithsonian will file this sprawling musical celebration into their collection between Van Dyke Parks’ Discover America and Norman Rockwell’s Saturday Evening Post covers -- joyous, generous Americana filtered through a singular sensibility.
