We're more than halfway through - so which 5 have stood out the most to you so far?
Fantomas - Suspended Animation
Pelican - The Fire In Our Throats Will Beckon The Thaw
Red Sparowes - At The Soundless Dawn
Clutch - Robot Hive/Exodus
Death From Above 1979 - You're A Woman I'm A Machine

Tough for me to answer to this question, as I bought exactly 5 albums released in 2005. So here they are, but I can't say they're the best albums of this year (they're all excellent though):
Frank Black - Honeycomb
Los Hermanos - On Another Level
Smog - A River Ain't Too Much To Love
Kraftwerk - Minimum - Maximum
Laurent Garnier - The Cloud-Making Machine
I'll add M.I.A.'s album which is fantastic but that I haven't bought yet. And among the CDs I still haven't got but that are on my wishlist:
Juan Atkins - The Berlin Sessions
Octave One - The Theory Of Everything
Recloose - Hiatus on the Horizon
Transglobal Underground - Impossible Broadcasting
Marco Passarani - Sullen Look
Arcade Fire - Funeral (I think it was rerelased this year in France)
Malkmus - Face The Truth
Bob Mould - Body Of Song
Ali Farka Touré & Toumani Diabaté - In The Heart Of The Moon

The Decemberists - Picaresque
Low - Great Destroyer
Smog and Sufjan Stevens, good records but I tend to skip through quite a few tracks.
I am now certain to buy the Fantomas, 50 Foot Wave and Trial Of Dead cds thanks to this thread.

Wheeeheeeeee!
Offerw - the Fantomas album is truly something as always - it's their children's album featuring noises from cartoons (and the standard genius Patton nimble larynx work) - recorded at the same time as Delirium Cordia (their death album) and each track is a tribute to the month of April.

Really? I lost his show two months ago. He broke a guitar string and didn't have a replacement so the gig end up after two songs with people getting mad at him, the organization giving people's money back and sad stuff like this. I think he'll never come back here

There is something wrong with this line of thinking, Denis. Think about it. (No offense,Steve.)
