Albums of the year 2005 - as chosen by users of the Fediverse
Welcome back one and all to our series of Albums of the year as chosen by the users of the Fediverse. We’ve had a couple of 80s and 90s years and even a foray into the 70s but this time, we are going more modern. Well, as modern as 20 years ago, but it’s a start.
This time round I asked you all for your favourite album from the year 2005 and of course you did not disappoint. This was a particularly interesting period for me to revisit. I was 14/15 in this year and was just getting into music properly and buying CDs for the first time so there is a lot of nostalgia here for me.
In total there was around 38 different albums that received at least one vote and they will all get their flowers but first we have to hand out some medals.
Taking the gold medal with the most votes and being crowned as Fediverse album of the year for 2005 is Ghost Reveries by Opeth. Great band and this is my favourite album by them so I’m not mad about it.
Second place was an album I had never heard of so it was cool to see it rock up and take silver medal and that is Horses in the Sky by Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra. I’ll definitely be checking this one out after this.
There are actually 3 albums tied for bronze medal this time out and they are:
With Teeth by Nine Inch Nails
Character by Dark Tranquility
Deadwing by Porcupine Tree
