Inspired by the best movie thread, I hereby start the thread for the best new CD album you listened to this year. I nominate Keane - Hopes and Fears.

[Vince Young]

Masta Ace - Long, Hot, Summer

[WillMagic]

I'll second Hopes and Fears.

Will

[MrFeelNothin]

Modest Mouse-Good News for People Who Like Bad News

though i like MM's Lonesome Crowded West and the Moon and Antarctica better.

[Popinjay]

Autobiography

[Patrick del Poker Grande]

Keane? Are you serious? Blecht!

Sorry... anyway, on to the goods:

In descending order of awesomeness:
Coheed & Cambria - In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3
Modest Mouse - Good News For People Who Love Bad News
(Melissa)Auf der Maur - Auf der Maur
Muse - Absolution

[Joe_d72]

The Black Album

[Reef]

people still buy CD's? wow

[MrFeelNothin]

I personally haven't bought a CD in three years, but supposedly they still exist.

[eric5148]

OMG, I have honestly never heard of any of the albums mentioned so far. I live in my own little world of metal, I guess.

I'll go with the Meshuggah "I" EP.

[jagoff]

Slipknot Subliminal Messages Vol 3

[Macdaddy Warsaw]

The Arcade Fire - Funeral

[scott1]

The Arcade Fire - Funeral

Just beat me to it. I've got tickets to see them Feb. 2

[Macdaddy Warsaw]

Haha, cool. My friends are attempting to convince me to go to the Feb. 1 show at the Bowery Ballroom, although that requires six hours of driving on that day if I'm not gonna miss any school. WHEE. But I'll probably end up going.

yes, there are people who appreciate some of the benefits that CDs offer and/or live in a country where CDs aren't ridonkulously over-priced...

[Macdaddy Warsaw]

Really? I thought it was Bowery on the 1st and Irving Plaza on the 2nd?

I'll have to investigate this.

[partygirluk]

Keane/Muse/Snow Patrol come to mind immediately.

You're missing out! I remember listening to that cd nonstop every day in HS. (not that that was long ago lol). I believe that you live somewhere in the Seattle area, have you ever seen them live? Saw them last year at the Paramount, it was a very good show from what I remember. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif Incidentally I also recommend listening to MM while playing poker, seems to keep me off-tilt anyways.

[granny50]

The Postal Service - Never Give Up

Senses Fail - Let It Enfold You

[the_rookie]

Sarah Mclachlan - Afterglow

[craig r]

I was going to mention this one as well..but i think it is 2003. I think the very end, so maybe it should still count.

[the_rookie]

I think you're right. Well, the live version just came out so I'll change my vote to....

Sarah Mclachlan- Afterglow Live /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Riskwise]

ill second muse - absolution, even though im 99% positive that its not this year...

[Skjonne]

Nephew - USADSB

[zephed56]

NOW 39.

[sfer]

Feb 2003. And it's called Give Up.

[nicky g]

Bubblegum by Mark Lanegan. Genius.

Hot Stuff by The Killers was a strong runner up.

[ThaSaltCracka]

Kanye West- College Dropout
Outkast- Speakerboxxx/The Love Below
Jay-Z- The Black Album
MM- Good News.....
The Shins- Chutes and Ladders

[nicky g]

M y wife and a few of my friends like the Shins. I don;t really get it. Surely the Black Album is way old?

[sfer]

Shins were 2003 dude.

[sfer]

The Bowery sent an email saying it's been moved to Webster Hall and more tickets are available.

[/ QUOTE ]eh, maybe it was late 2003, I really don't know or care /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Anyways, want to add one more.
Ghostface_ The Pretty Tony Album.

[sfer]

I've been listening to Neko Case recently. Over and over. Crimson and clover.

[nicky g]

"eh, maybe it was late 2003, I really don't know or care "

You're right, November 2003. I thought it was way like two or three years old, don't know why.

[/ QUOTE ]prolly cuz it seems like it has been everywhere. It was a pretty damn good CD. FWIW, I consider the year(entertainment wise) to be from Nov-Oct. Most of the best stuff comes our around this time.

Hot Stuff by The Killers

[/ QUOTE ]
It's Hot Fuss. It is a pretty good album.

[nicky g]

Probably it's cos I first heard it through DJ Dangermouse's Grey Album, which must have come out very shortly after the Black Album; I assumed it must have been around for a while for him to mess that much with it. Have you heard it? It's basically the rapping from the Black Album played over remixed excerpts from the Beatle's White Album. It's pretty damn good.

[thatpfunk]

Not a very good year for popular music it seems...

And Kanye West, Outkast came out last year (i think someone mentioned it, but I'm being a nit)

[ThaSaltCracka]

yeah I heard it, I really didn't like it very much.

also, Outkast was 2003
Kanye was def 2004 though, in fact check the [censored], Feb 2004.

[thatpfunk]

dammit i knew there was a reason you have 25x as many posts as me... you're just that much better /images/graemlins/mad.gif

that definetly wins i think as far as popular music goes then...
