2005 Albums Of The Year By Clark Benson [84 more lists]
My list as it stood at the end of 2005. Differences in the ratings vs list position reflect changing opinions over time.
1.06 - "an average-to-weak year – many releases by artists I like; lots of good, even great records, but very very few excellent ones. Everything under about #12 on my list was pretty interchangeable rankings-wise"
- 1
The Mars Volta2005Progressive rock, Jazz fusion, Experimental rock, Psychedelic rockAlbum“ I think I actually like their 2003 release a hair better, but that’s like trying to argue that Meddle is better than Animals etc. Yes, it could use some editing, and yes, in many other years it wouldn’t have beat out every other release, but still a great work. „ - 2
