MY LIST
it pisses me off a little that no matter how good the matches' albums are, they will never be the top album of that year because rise against always seems to put an album out the same year. and rise against always wins.
BEST ALBUM
1. rise against - appeal to reason
songs: all. solid record, as always.
2. the matches - a band in hope
songs: their city, from 24c, future tense
3. the all-american rejects - when the world comes down
songs: another heart calls, the wind blows, sunshine
4. 2*sweet - sleep without dreams
songs: restless eyes tell no lies, dateless for armageddon
5. twice til tuesday - east bay, no core ep
songs: ticket, descent
WORST ALBUM
1. cute is what we aim for - rotation
2. from first to last - from first to last
3. the audition - champion
HONORABLE MENTION
1. the status - so this is progress
song: can you hear me
2. the used - shallow believer ep
song: sick hearts
3. shwayze - shwayze
song: corona and lime
ALBUMS I SHOULD'VE GIVEN A SECOND SPIN
1. hit the lights - skip school, start fights
2. bayside - shudder
3. empires - howl
ALBUMS I DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER WITH
1. gym class heroes - the quilt
2. the academy is... - fast times a barrington high
3. fall out boy - folie a deux
BEST MOMENT
1. meeting fred mascherino.
2. mc lars' entire set at bamboozle left.
3. seeing ryan kienle (ex matchbook romance) at bamboozle left handing out glamour kills stickers and making all kind of awkward 'i hate this' faces.
4. almost getting kicked in face by nick wheeler.
BEST JOKE
1. pedostaches.
