Best and worst album you bought in 2004

[kosmo vinyl]

Stylus Magazine checks in with thier best and worst of 2004.  Personally I prefer their worst list...
 
  Top 40 Albums of 2004
 
  Top Worst Albums of 2004

[Guiny]

I don't know about the best but Modest Mouse by a longshot was the worst.

[pepper*sans*salt]

Best: Franz Ferdinand (self-titled)
 Worst: The Darkness- 'Permission to land'
 
 The Darkness was sooo overhyped! I think it had more to do with the lead singer raiding Steve Tyler's 80's wardrobe than anything else. Okay, 'I believe in a thing called love' was pretty cool but the rest of the album sucked!

Best - Rammstein "Reise Reise"
 
 Worst - not sure might be some dissapointing ones but if I bought it I generally found something in it I liked.  I don't buy things I hate either

Yes, Reise Reise is quite good especially if you appreciate the humor in Amerika.
 
 Best: Mastodon - Leviathan
 Worst: Ministry of Sound - American Anthems

I thought it might be like that, but this is the first info I have heard about it either way
 
 Did you hear Jesus man's EP?

The video of Amerika has to be one of the most brilliant videos I have seen in over a decade.  Pure genius!!!

I completely agree with you.  I saw the video and got all excited.  The next day I marched down to my local cd exchange to listen and buy, but it was at that point that I became disappointed. It's a good thing that I listened to it before buying it, because then it would have become my worst album of 2004.
  I don't even remember what I bought last year, really.  I only remember two, and they were TV on the Radio and Sonic Youth's latest.  I liked them just fine.

Best:  Fiery Furnaces "Blueberry boat" - Intersting and fun album.  Lots of stuff going on, very wordy in a good way, great music.
 
 Worst: Interpol "Antics" - I liked the guitar interplay of the first album (reminded me of Television), but this one put that all aside and even gave some songs to the keyboard player.  Such a letdown from the first one.

The Burning Brides took a while to grow on me unlike the first one that drew me in from the start.  I really like the second one now.  They rock.

Did nobody buy this to make it their worst?
