Top Albums of the year(not exactly all 2004 albums...)
Well, I haven't done much for Christmas I got the usualy clothes, gift certificates and such. And still plugging away at learning the bass guitar. Atleast it is in tune to a degree(not sure about the G string), but found a bass tab site looked around for anything tuned for EADG tuning, and found out that Black Magic Women infact is. And so far I can play it, but still need to get use to working the neck/fretboard. And now my top albums I purchased this year....(this doesn't mean that they came out this yeer.) :)1) Green Day - American Idiot
Green Day has some good writing as usual, but everything came together on this one.
2) Killswitch Engage - End of the Heartache
Great album, great lead singer and other goodness.
3) Damageplan - New Found Power
This was a well put together album by "Dimebag" Darrel. Sometimes letting someone who never been a lead singer, but a back up, take the mic can be bad, and other times great. Damageplan found a leader with their lead singer, Darrell as usual played his heart out.
4) To My Surprise - To My Surprise
It came out in 2003, I just bought it this year. And it is an awesome recap of many decades of pop music with blended with today's styled lyrics and being only a 3 person band, they go all out on this album. Hopefully, after Knot is done touring they might do some recording again.
5) Joe Satriani - Is there love in Space?
Great guitar player, and the songs he sings in aren't too bad. Too bad I can't hear this over the radio here because the radio stations only play A) What's on MTV B) What's popular C) What is main stream
6) Slipknot - Vol. 3 The Subliminal Verses
A Well put together album that showed maturity, and with a more complete sound. As MTV said in one of their articles "More Structured, still programmed to kill". Rick Rubin did a great job with getting them motivated. And they are actually getting air play here....if you want more reason why it took them so long to get air play look at the end of #5
7) Nirvana - With the Lights Out
I grew up on Nirvana, and they are one of my favorite bands. Just a collection of everything they did over the years before Kurt passed away.
8) Eminem - Encore
A little more serious at times, but still a good album. And with more targets than ever before to go after. Now how many law suits he gets will only be known by him. The best song off of this to me is Mockingbird. For the Most part just pours his heart and soul into a song that is somewhat of an apology to his daughter.
9) Linkin Park and Jay Z - Collision Course
A nice blend of rap and rock. People may go after Jay Z saying that since he has retired he has done even more recording and stuff, well when he had a decent album with R Kelly before, and R Kelly probably came to him about making one more, and then others wanting to try out something with him, and many people remixing probably one of his best albums (Black Album) with others's stuff including the White Album from the Beattles, it shows that he has talent, just needed to get motivated. And while he is motivated why not jump on the bandwagon. *shrug*
10) Satana stuff - I both some used Santana CD's so I will throw them here. they would probably go hire, but I am lazy and didn't really listen to all of them completely. But that is my fault and Santana is still a great guitar player
and I will cheat here...
11) Dave Matthews - Some Devil and Broken Stuff(Dave Matthews Band)
It is amazing how some of my co-workers warmed up to him after DMB's accident in Chicago....as some have said "Dave Matthews is probably sad because his shit got more attention that his bands last album"
