One Louder has been keeping tabs on the "Best of 2005" lists that are starting to pop up now that the year is half done.
The consensus? Spoon's Gimme Fiction and The Decemberists' Picaresque are making frequent appearances, as is Bloc Party's Silent Alarm. I'm surprised that one of my favorites of the year so far, Art Brut's Bang Bang Rock and Roll, doesn't make any of these lists, but it hasn't been officially released in the U.S. yet.
The list of the lists:
- Dodge's Top 10 Albums Of The 2005 Half-Year
- Kingblind: The Best Albums of 2005 (So Far)
- You Ain't No Picasso: (My) Top 10 Albums of the First Half of 2005
- brooklynvegan: My 5 favorite albums of 2005 (so far)
- Metacritic: Best of 2005
- I Do What I Can: Best Music of 2005 Thus Far
- gorilla vs. bear: albums of the year, way too early
And just to be a contrarian, Muzzle of Bees posts the worst disappointments of the year.
