1. The National - Alligator


The National's previous album was better, I dont really like the new one

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Kanye's new CD was by far my favorite. I think the only other CDs I really liked this year that I bought were "Hau Ruck" by KMFDM, "Hefty Fine" by the Bloodhound Gang, and if it came out in 05, then "Hot Fuss" by the Killers.

[samichna]

Hot Fuss was '04.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Hot Fuss was '04.

Fuck. THere wasn't much that came out in 05 that I liked then.

Wait, the new Foo Fighters CD was the shit.. At least the first disc.

[PorkSoda]

Nobody should like the album Hot Fuss, unless your an 11 year old girl. I can't believe I actually bought that CD.......:o Besides Songs for the Deaf, worst CD ever
