2005 wasn't nearly as good as 2004. Although when I think about it, 2004 was one of the best musical years ever.
These are the ones that come to mind right now:
Adversus - Einer Nacht Gewesenes
Dark Tranquillity - Character
Dornenreich - Hexenwind
Eisblut - Schlachtwerk
Eisregen - Hexenhaus
Feindflug - Volk und Armee
Janus - Nachtmahr
Lacrimosa - Lichtgestalt
Meshuggah - Catch 33
Nile - Annihilation of the Wicked
Oathean - As A Solitary Tree Against The Sky
Opeth - Ghost Reveries
Sigh - Gallows Gallery
Subway to Sally - Nord Nord Ost
Totenmond - TonbergUrtod
My favourite one is definately Janus, followed by Lacrimosa, Dornenreich and Subway to Sally.
Bright Eyes - I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning
Gorillaz - Demon Days
Rent Motion Picture Soundtrack (Eh heh..kind of been obsessing over this one.)
#1. Kamelot - The Black Halo
#2. Solefald - Red for Fire: An Icelandic Odyssey Part One
#3. Korpiklaani - Voice of Wilderness

Frances the Mute was okay, but Mars Volta's other album was better. Um...yeah, this was a bad year for music.
No.
Coldplay's X&Y album was awesome.
Porcupine Tree's <i>Deadwing</i> was my favorite album this year.
KillRadio - Raised On Whipped Cream
The Matches - E. Von Dahl Killed The Locals
I thought that frances was much better than deloused.
Mars Volta - Frances the Mute (Best record this year?)
Lightning Bolt - Hypermagic Mountain
Opeth - Ghost Reveries
Pelican - The Fire in our Throats will Beckon the Thaw
Gospel - The Moon is a Dead World (Best record this year?)
Doomriders - Black Thunder
Boris - Pink
Dead Meadow - Feathers
Red Sparrows - At the Soundless Dawn (Record of the year?)
Jesu - Jesu
Transistor Transistor - Erase all Names and Likeness
*Boris - Soundtrack to the film Mabuta No Ura
I'm sure there are plenty of others that were really good that I can't think of off the top of my head.
Edit: Albums with a * in front means that they were tacked on after my original post.

That was about the only '05 album I got too. My sisters got a few albums from this year but I never got around to stealing off with their CDs to listen to them........yet.
Hawthorne Heights - The Silence in Black and White. I just...like them a lot. XD
