yeah i can see that. i was more excited this year just because most of the mainstream acts i like such as the foos and QOTSA and NIN all put albums out, meaning that they'd go on tour.

Perhaps only in my opinion, but I would add

 

Fall Out Boy From Under The Cork Tree

Institute Distort Yourself

 

EDIT: Oh, and my friend would have me mention The Arctic Monkeys, cos they're a pretty cool new band, but have no album to buy just yet.

IMO, i don't consider a "best of" compilation to be applicable in this catagory.

well if you're referring to in a coma..

it's more than just a best of compilation..

it was a package..

and id say it was an awesome package for sure.

 

other albums i loved from 2k5:

Our Lady Peace - Healthy in Paranoid Times

David Usher - If God Had Curves

The Arcade Fire - Funeral

The Trews - Den of Thieves

30 Seconds To Mars - A Beautiful Lie

Alexisonfire-Moneen - Switcharoo Series

right, it certainly is good... but nothing on it was new content aside from "oh be joyful!"...

 

and it's not an album... like you've said, it's a package.

There was lots of new content. Rooms was new. I personally had never heard Big City Life or Pony Boy before either.

 

Or seen the Rabbits video. And how cool would it have been to just stick the Joyful video on there for laughs. I dug it.

i personally think that out of exile was a far better audioslave release than their debut. it sounded like a proper release, it wasn't chris cornell fronting rage any longer, they actually had become something. but no, it wasn't mind blowing. but i really didn't expect it to be, either. so maybe thats why i don't think it was dissapointing, but it surely hasn't seen much time in my CD player.
