      I've yet to get that, so that could be a 6th. Is it similar to Primitive Plus?

        Not really - he's got slightly more serious (only slightly, mind) and it's much more psychedelic (loads of moog). It's ace.

  Qusimoto was great.
  
  There have been loads this year, someone made that top 7 albums of the year thread, I ended up posting about 15. This year has made me love music more than any other year.

    It has been good. I'm off to buy animal collective and deerhoof at lunch as well. I didn't much like what I've heard of animal collective so far (which, to be fair, is only a couple of tracks off sung tongs) and I'm mainly buying it on YOUR recommendation Allen.
    
    You better be right.

      hehe, it is different to sung tongs. most of the stuff they release sounds nothing like the album before it.
      
      deerhoof is a good'n as well.

        Re: 2005
        
        its been a good and bad year, as i have discovered some great bands that i didn't know about before, like:
        
        Test Icicles
        LCD Soundsystem
        Idiot Pilot
        Lightning Bolt
        Saul Williams
        Wives
        Engerica
        
        But, we have lost some great talent:
        
        Million Dead
        Hot Snakes
        Q and not U
        RFTC
        Hot Water Music (hiatus?)
        Eden Maine (hiatus?)
        
        So, its been mixed, but heres to next year being fucking ace! (bit early i know)

Re: 2005

It's been pretty good, lots of competition for places on the end of year list. Top five at the moment is Sufjan, Bright Eyes x2, British Sea Power and Mountain Goats.

Re: 2005

I'll add the dios (malos) album to my list as well. Not very innovative, but I can't help but like an album about pot, girls, broken hearts and sounding like Neil Young and the Beach Boys
