Pretty depressing list I must say.

the Faith Evans album is quite good. by far the best there, anyway.

The Faith Evans and Tom Vek records are OK but you wouldn't cross the road in a rush to get them. New things I do like at the moment include the albums by Acoustic Ladyland (better and punkier than their name suggests), Atomic Hooligan, Go-Kart Mozart and Pendulum (esp. "Fasten Your Seatbelts" with the Freestylers on the latter).

This year has kind of sucked so far, hasn't it?

Mom, there's nothing to listen to.

2005 is about M.I.A. and il DIVO

― ZionTrain (ZionTrain), Monday, 16 May 2005 15:05 (twenty-one years ago)

There are a slew of notable hiphop releases though...common, MED, quasimoto, zion i...four tet could be interesting tho. oh well Pete & Pete comes out Tuesday

I think the White Stripes will end up being album of the year - on my site at least. I don't think they're due a backlash yet and I think they'll get top marks from at least two mags.

As for this month's list, the only one I've heard is Eels, which is decent but hasn't really sunk in yet. I'd like to hear Four Tet and Caribou though.
