"Best Albums of 2005" by Tyson Cantrell's Top 25

Yes! Finally the "metal dude's" list; I'm sure you're beside yourself with excitement. So people keep asking me if it was a good year or not. I really don't know. I really don't give a shit. And I was kidding, no one has ever asked me anything of the kind. I do, however, remember some noticeable gap... [More]

"Best Albums of 2005" by Adam Mast's Top 50

Given that we have around five feature music writers here at Zboneman.com (Kyle, Tyson, The Boneman, Jeff, and Ryan) I considered not even writing a Best in Music list, particularly because I've been so busy with the movie portion of the site. What many readers might not know is that I've been ru... [More]

"Best Albums of 2005" by Kyle England's Top 50

Seeing as how I only gave out two perfect fives all year long, it should be no surprise to anyone that the top spot on my list came down to a two horse race between Sufjan Stevens brilliant civics lesson Illinois and The Decemberists epic fantasy world of Picaresque. At first I thought Stevens was t... [More]

"Best Albums of 2005" by Jeff Hubbard's Top 25

Looking over Ryan's list makes it pretty clear that 05 was indeed a strong year. The fact that his list of 50, could contain so many strong to brilliant albums, and still omit things like Feist's Let it Die (an oversight of a really good album?), Wilco's superb live set Kicking Television, and the G...

"Best Albums of 2005" by Ryan Slack's Top 50

I would have to disagree with the Boneman, in that I'd say 2005 was a very good year in music. Sufjan emerged as everyone's favorite new "indie" act, while Kanye West solidified his significant impact on hip-hop, and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah has to be the most-hyped band since NSYNC. 2005 also saw...

"Odds and Ends, Rarities" by Boy Sets Fire

Upon first listen to this harsh collection of raucous youth angst I thought to myself, "Whoa, is this the Boy Sets Fire that I know?" Well it wasn't. I was listening to a younger more out of control BSF. Some of the songs seemed a bit experimental and uncharacteristic of BSF, but that only adds to t... [More]

"The Day The Sun Went Out (Reissue)" by Boy Sets Fire

Ah yes The Day the Sun Went Out, so much to say about such a great piece of music. That album is like a recorded 40-something minutes of hardcore history. A little emo, a little whining, but a lot of hardness. This here album was the first of BSF I heard back in the day. After that it was like a BSF... [More]

"Shock of Being" by Make Believe

First of all, researching this band proved to be a pain in the ass. Information on these guys was every bit as easy to find as a G & T at a Utah Christmas party. It was a hard night of tireless Googling, and I even resorted to the fucked-up low-self-esteem world of MySpace and their band database, b... [More]

"The Rumor" by Before Braile

Hailing from Mesa, Arizona, the same home as their much bigger emo counterparts Jimmy Eat World, Before Braille is yet another one of those emo acts just ready for modern-rock radio and MTV2 airplay. These guys are definitely emo in every sense of the word, and in fact, they sometimes even sound und... [More]

"Set It Off" by Shuvel

Have you ever been so pissed off that only the heaviest, angriest music can make you feel better? Well, if so, this album is definitely for you when you're stuck in one of those momentary brushes with psychosis. I didn't think I'd like these guys at first judging by the fact I had heard they were to... [More]

"Queen of the Meadow" by Elysian Fields

Elysian Fields is another one of those dream-pop bands on Jetset Records that puts you to sleep, in a good way, with its soothing melodies. I swear, singer Jennifer Charles has to have one of the sexiest singing voices I've heard alongside Bjork, Tori Amos, Fiona Apple and Mazzy Star. The first song... [More]

"Bayside" by Bayside

Bayside is yet another one of those sound-alike emo bands on Victory Records, but fortunately, they do a lot less screaming than most of their counterparts. I have to say that Bayside isn't the most original outfit to join the ranks of the Emo - tsunami, but they do have a knack for writing enough h... [More]

"Tony Hawk's American Wasteland" by Various Artists

So at the awesome college I go to they make you take a gym class credit in order to graduate, A.k.a. go in and pump iron with a group of meatheads staring at you because you can't figure out how to properly use the pec machine. The only way to get through this torture is trancing out to my DJ headph... [More]

"The Invisible Invasion" by The Coral

The Coral have been that little band that might for the past three years. I became more than interested in the young Liverpudlians when I started hearing their singles on satellite radio - they had two or three songs in tight rotation from their first two releases. These albums, however, turned out... [More]
