2. The Blood Brothers - Burn, Piano Island, Burn
3. Ted Leo and the Pharmacists - Hearts of Oak

Hmm. That's pretty much all I've really gotten into this year.

1. Outrageous Cherry
2. The Kills
3. Dressy Bessy
4. The Thrills
5. The Sounds

I so badly wanted to avoid any act who refers to themselves as "the" something but those three were unavoidable... at least they're not overdone generic garage rock I guess.

1. A Perfect Circle
2. Black Eye Peas
3. Audioslave
4. Iggy and the Stooges
5. Sevendust

I will write down some of these on the lists though and give them a try I am alwas down on new music.
Never ever Metallica, the last album that should even be recognized is and justice for all.

INDESTRUCTABLE-RANCID
TERROR STATE-ANTI-FLAG
STREETCORE-JOE STRUMMER AND THE MESCALEROS
WHATEVER ONE I CANT THINK OF

hmm, yep, i'm actually bored enough to post this again...

1. against me! "...as the eternal cowboy"
2. every time i die "hot damn!"
3. blood brothers "burn piano island burn"
4. a small victory "the pieces we keep" (plug plug plug *winks*)

i don't think i got any other new releases this year. i have still yet to get the new outkast even though it is amazing, and the new ludacris is good but not top 5 good. same with the new saves the day.

Nada Surf's "Let Go"

Muse's "Absolution"

Starsailor's Silence Is Here"

UNKLE's Never Neverland

and of course

Radiohead's "Hail To The Theif"

Viktor Vaughn (MF Doom)-Vaudvillian Villian
Non-Prophets-Hope
Augustus Pablo-El Rockers (not really a "new release" in the true sense")
