Comments on: The best music of 2005 http://warpspire.com/tipsresources/music/the-best-music-of-2005/ my god, it's full of stars Mon, 13 Oct 2008 05:47:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Alex Lindsay http://warpspire.com/tipsresources/music/the-best-music-of-2005/#comment-457 Alex Lindsay Sun, 22 Jan 2006 22:28:05 +0000 http://warpspire.com/?p=100#comment-457 <p>Oooh, missed a couple of the best (in my opinion, obviously) from '05. </p> <p>Firstly, being from England, I'd recommend the Arctic Monkeys. Not stunning, but upbeat and a slightly more enjoyable and raw sound than, oh, QoTSA. And, while <em>Songs for the Deaf</em> is alright, too many of the songs are just half-formed ideas and fillers. I mean, any album that puts 20 seconds of Spanish radio-promo is surely doing something wierd. Then there's the Strokes' new album, <em>First Impressions of Earth</em>, which, while it was only released in December, moves further from the failure of <em>Room on Fire</em>. Worth a listen. Then there's also Louis XIV's self-titled album, which is truly wonderful - sexy but oh-so-rough-on-the-edges - is placed second on my all-time most listened to list. Which would indicate something decent.</p> <p>Finally - José Gonzalez re-released 2004's <em>Veneer</em>, which is a sublime album, and by far my most loved and listened to album of 2005. While it may be too melow for some people, it has a certain beauty that stands up to "Repeat-One".</p> Oooh, missed a couple of the best (in my opinion, obviously) from ‘05.
