Well, the year's coming to an end. What few releases would you guys say were the best of 2004?

Mine would be Nightwish (Once) and Therion (Lemuria/Sirius B) Both are amazing bands with new albums that blew me away.

Mines going to go to...

Breaking Benjamin - We Are Not Alone

Definetely a HUGE step up from their last CD and definetely was more thought out...

Excellent CD, IMO

I didn't bring home too many new releases this year. That being said, the most impressive album I did hear was Nightwish's "Once". Decent recording, great music!

Don't think I bought a "new" release in 2004, unless you count one "selection of the month" BMG sent me 'cause I did not waive them off in time. I did send it back though...

The only "new" albums I've bought that came out in 2004 are:

Brian Wilson - Smile

Jimmy Buffett - License to Chill

Todd Rundgren - Liars

Big Head Todd and The Monsters - Crimes of Passion

Mark Knopfler - Shangri-La

The Brian Wilson album leads the pack. I have not opend the Knopfler CD yet but it would take a very good CD to beat out Smile.

great step up from their debut "Turn on the Bright Lights"

The interpol album is good, but too polished compared to TOTBL.

Check out Snow Patrol sometime.

My vote goes to Mark Knopfler - Shangri-La on SACD. It different than his Dire Straits days, not as rock n roll, but an excellent performance and recording.

Maroon 5, Songs About Jane. Excellent cd in my opinion.

I didn't purchase anything new in '04, but would be interested to hear what songs are on "Smile", the long awaited album from the REAL King of Pop.

I was a little disappointed with "Pet Sounds" and liked an awful lot of stuff from "Imagination".

And, even though it is not a cd, nymphetamine by cradle of filth. That is one good song.

Although none of you like rap.

Nas - Street's Disciple is definately a well thought out album.

The Nirvana box set is although worth a look but I don't think that qualifies.

I liked some of COF's stuff in the past, but Danny Filth get's REALLY annoying to me after he tries to have a deep voice then screeches like a bat. I prefer Dimmu Borgir hands down over COF, but even Dimmu's sound hasn't been to my liking with the latest CD.
