Top Albums: 2000-2005.

[halo19]

I've had this one in mind for awhile, but I finally got around to doing my favorites. Albums was one I was thinking of, and these are the albums that will probably remind me of what I listened to as I've gotten more into music. I especially discovered plenty of these entries in the past couple years, in spite some of them being older than that.

Oh, and if an album shocks you that it's not there, it's probably because I didn't hear it in its entirety. In some cases (The Mars Volta's De-Loused album; DCFC, etc.), I haven't even heard it!

This is fascinating. This is an excellent, diverse list. With Teeth must have really underwhelmed you, huh? I sure don't see it. I'm so eager to post my favorite albums of 2005 and my favorites of all-time, but unless I want to start a separate topic for all my non-guessing lists (which would be pointless since I already put some non-guessing lists in my existing 2005 chart topic), I'll have to wait.

Here are the ones I own:

Haha, yeah, I'm not that big a fan of With Teeth. It just doesn't do for me what other NIN albums have (on a '90s list, The Fragile would be #1). But then again, there's some albums I'm okay with that didn't appear there, either.
