OTHER ALBUMS
I'm still absorbing a few albums from 2004, and there were others I loved as well:
Charalambides - Joy Shapes
Excepter - KA
Annie - Anniemal
Sonic Youth - Sonic Nurse
Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - Lyre of Orpheus
Death From Above 1979 - I'm A Woman, You're A Machine
Tim Hecker - Mirages

Tons of others too of course. It was a good year. I can't wait to see what's coming next year, like a new Liars album, M.I.A.'s debut album Arular, and Lightning Bolt's Frenzy.

What do others think?
