Beat Albums of this Decade (so far)

[charliepanayi]

Any suggestions as to what people think have been the best music albums released since the beginning of 2000? Give reasons if you want, include as many as you want etc.

I'm still thinking about mine...

[I Don't Need A Name]

Tales Don't Tell Themselves - Funeral For A Friend
its just a very epic collection of songs, telling a story. very catchy and pretty awsome.

All We Know Is Falling - Paramore
an amazing debut from an amazing Pop-Punk band. Hayleys vocals just drive this album to legendary, and thats without the band accompniment

[Heath]

I never really know how to rank albums or even to decide what's best, but I certainly feel that Sufjan Stevens' Illinoise is certainly worthy of being up there.

[Madame Adequate]

Freezepop - Fancy Ultra·Fresh (Pretty much as awesome as music gets)

Freezepop - Future Future Future Perfect (Not as universally great as FU·F but the best songs here are by far some of the best I've ever heard)

Sage Francis - A Healthy Distrust (Hate the political messages, but it's still some of the best rap I've ever heard)

[Rengori]

Wintersun - Wintersun (2004)
Epitaph - Necrophagist (2004)

From First to Last- "Dear Diary, My Teen Angst has a Body Count"
Bright Eyes- "Fevers and Mirrors"
Panic! at the Disco- "A Fever You Can't Sweat Out"
The Used- "(self titled)" and "In Love and Death"
My Chemical Romance- "I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love" (the other two are seriously lackluster in comparison and don't even deserve mentioning.)
Taking Back Sunday- "Tell All Your Friends", "Where You Want to Be" and "Louder Now"

Just to name a few. :D

[I Took the Red Pill]

I'm going to do this year because I don't feel like trying to remember stuff from the past decade (although anything by Sufjan is up there by default).

So basically,

Alcest - Souvenirs d'un autre monde

That will be all.

Wintersun - Wintersun (2004)
