	85 16. The Mysterious Production Of Eggs by Andrew Bird February 8, 2005 You don't see many musicians described as a "whistler" but Chicago's Andrew Bird (who is also a singer-songwriter, guitarist, and originally, a violinist) fits the bill. This is his fifth release (and second for Ani DiFranco's record label), which finds him backed by several members of his group Bowl Of Fire. Metascore: 85 User Score: 8.7
	85 17. I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning by Bright Eyes January 25, 2005 'I'm Wide Awake' is the more country/acoustic of Conor Oberst's twin January 2005 releases under the Bright Eyes name. Emmylou Harris provides vocals on three tracks. Metascore: 85 User Score: 8.2
	85 18. Late Registration by Kanye West August 30, 2005 The Grammy-winner returns with a highly-anticpated follow-up to 'The College Dropout,' marking the second installment in a planned four-part series of albums. Jon Brion co-produced, and Brandy, Common, Nas, The Game, Jamie Foxx and Maroon 5's Adam Levine guest. Metascore: 85 User Score: 8.4
	85 19. Mezmerize by System Of A Down May 17, 2005 Rick Rubin co-produced this first of two planned 2005 releases for SOAD (with 'Hypnotize' coming in the fall). Metascore: 85 User Score: 8.5
	85 20. Beauty And The Beat by Edan March 29, 2005 This self-produced second album for the Boston-based rapper includes guest appearances from Mr. Lif, Percee P, Dagah and Insight. Metascore: 85 User Score: 8.7
	85 21. Twin Cinema by The New Pornographers August 23, 2005 This is the third album of sunny indie-pop tunes for the acclaimed union of Neko Case, Dan Bejar (also of Destroyer) and A.C. Newman. Metascore: 85 User Score: 8.1
	85 22. Oceans Apart by The Go-Betweens May 3, 2005 This is the third album in three years for the newly-reunited Australian duo of Grant McLennan and Robert Forster. Metascore: 85 User Score: 8.0
	85 23. Blinking Lights And Other Revelations by Eels April 26, 2005 Mark Everett's diverse and epic sixth Eels album spans two CDs. It probably would never be classified as a happy album, but it does include appearances from Tom Waits, R.E.M.'s Peter Buck, and The Lovin' Spoonful's John Sebastian. Metascore: 85 User Score: 8.7
	85 24. This Right Here Is Buck 65 by Buck 65 January 25, 2005 This right here is the American debut for the Canadian country-rapper (born Richard Terfry), who has actually been recording north of the border since the mid-1990s. Apparently he's worth $1.15 more than 50 Cent, although we're not sure if that's in Canadian dollars or not. Metascore: 85 User Score: 8.5
	85 25. Cole's Corner by Richard Hawley September 6, 2005 This is the fourth solo album for the sometime Pulp guitarist. Metascore: 85 User Score: 8.6
	85 26. Lookaftering by Vashti Bunyan October 25, 2005 Coming a full 35 years after her debut ('Just Another Diamond Day'), the British folk singer's second LP finds her backed by fans/followers such as Devendra Banhart and Joanna Newsom. Metascore: 85 User Score: 8.2
	84 27. Lost And Safe by The Books April 5, 2005 The third release for the acclaimed cut-and-paste outfit features an expanded vocal role for guitarist Nick Zammuto. Metascore: 84 User Score: 8.6
	84 28. Gimme Fiction by Spoon May 10, 2005 Mike McCarthy returns as producer for the Britt Daniel-led band's varied follow-up to their acclaimed 2002 outing 'Kill The Moonlight.' Spoon fans will not be disappointed. Metascore: 84 User Score: 8.7
	84 29. Feels by Animal Collective October 18, 2005 Electric where the mellower 'Sung Tongs' was acoustic, 'Feels' is nevertheless another idiosyncratic outing for the freak-folk four-piece. Metascore: 84 User Score: 8.7
	84 30. Takk... by Sigur Rós September 13, 2005 Sigur Ros' fourth album is the first to feature songs sung mainly in their native Icelandic, rather than their fabricated Hopelandish. Metascore: 84 User Score: 8.7
	84 31. Extraordinary Machine by Fiona Apple October 4, 2005 The singer-songwriter's third album finally sees the light of day after originally being shelved by her record label in 2003 and then leaked onto the Internet. This official 'Machine' is a newly-recorded version (with producer Mike Elizondo taking over for the original's Jon Brion), so if you've heard the leaked tracks, you haven't heard this. Let the comparisons begin! Metascore: 84 User Score: 8.7
	84 32. These Were The Earlies by The Earlies October 25, 2005 The half American, half English four-piece make their debut with an album that, like Manitoba's Up In Flames, combines organic and electronic elements from a variety of genres into a unique psychedelic stew. Metascore: 84 User Score: 8.5
	84 33. Multiply by Jamie Lidell June 28, 2005 One half of the electronica outfit Super_Collider, producer Jamie Lidell returns with a second solo album that finds him in an unlikely new role: that of a soul singer. Metascore: 84 User Score: 7.4
	84 34. Clap Your Hands Say Yeah by Clap Your Hands Say Yeah June 28, 2005 Combine a singer who sounds more than a little like David Byrne, some solid indie-rock tunes, blurbs on all the right blogs, and a glowing review from Pitchfork and it all adds up to quite a buzz for this Brooklyn band's debut disc. Now all they need is a record deal. Metascore: 84 User Score: 8.5
	83 35. Bright Ideas by Portastatic August 23, 2005 The sixth album for Mac McCaughan's other band (i.e., the one that isn't Superchunk) finds him joined by bassist Jim Wilbur and drummer/brother Matthew McCaughan. Tim Mooney produced. Metascore: 83 User Score: 8.3
	83 36. School Of The Flower by Six Organs of Admittance January 25, 2005 This is the seventh release under the Six Organs name for Ben Chasny, who in recent years has also been a member of Comets On Fire. Metascore: 83 User Score: 8.0

	83 39. Be by Common May 24, 2005 The rapper's follow-up to 2002's love-it-or-hate-it 'Electric Circus' was produced largely by Kanye West. For some reason, John Mayer guests. Metascore: 83 User Score: 8.7
	83 40. You Could Have It So Much Better by Franz Ferdinand October 4, 2005 The Scottish band's eagerly-awaited follow-up to their acclaimed self-titled debut is preceded by yet another insanely catchy single, "Do You Want To." Metascore: 83 User Score: 8.3
	83 41. The Sunset Tree by The Mountain Goats April 26, 2005 John Darnielle recorded this 13-track Mountain Goats disc with the help of musicians John Vanderslice, Peter Hughes, Franklin Bruno and Scott Solter. Metascore: 83 User Score: 8.5
	82 42. Home Sweet Home by Kano June 27, 2005 The 19-year-old East London "grime" MC makes his debut with this LP which features contributions from Mike Skinner (The Streets), Diplo and Paul Epworth. Metascore: 82 User Score: 8.5
	82 43. Broken Social Scene by Broken Social Scene October 4, 2005 K-OS, Jason Tate (The Weakerthans) and Murray Lightburn (The Dears) guest on the Canadian collective's follow-up to 'You Forgot It In People.' Metascore: 82 User Score: 8.4
	82 44. Woman King [EP] by Iron & Wine February 22, 2005 Sam Beam's latest release is a 6-track EP recorded with Brian Deck. Metascore: 82 User Score: 8.6
	82 45. Demon Days by Gorillaz May 24, 2005 When the comic supergroup's 2001 debut sold an astounding 6 million copies worldwide, a sequel became necessary. Hence 'Demon Days.' Returning leader Damon Albarn (Blur) and new producer Danger Mouse are joined by guests Shaun Ryder (Happy Mondays), Ike Turner, MF Doom, De La Soul and Dennis Hopper. Metascore: 82 User Score: 8.9
	82 46. The Great Destroyer by Low January 25, 2005 The trio's seventh album (their first for Sub Pop) features production work from Dave Fridmann and an atypically energetic sound. Metascore: 82 User Score: 8.2
	82 47. Why Should The Fire Die? by Nickel Creek August 9, 2005 Tony Berg and Eric Valentine produced this follow-up to 2002's Grammy-winning "This Side." Metascore: 82 User Score: 8.5
	82 48. Silent Alarm by Bloc Party March 22, 2005 This multiculti London four-piece (making their full-length debut with 'Silent Alarm') has been heralded in seemingly every music magazine in the world as 2005's answer to Franz Ferdinand. Metascore: 82 User Score: 8.7
	82 49. Alligator by The National April 12, 2005 This is the third LP for the Brooklyn five-piece fronted by deep-voiced Matt Berninger. Metascore: 82 User Score: 8.7

	81 53. Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes June 7, 2005 The duo's fifth long-player, destined to be known as GBMS in record reviews everywhere, was recorded in their Detroit studio. While not a total departure from previous efforts, it does find them expanding their sound away from their usual guitar+drums formula. Metascore: 81 User Score: 8.3
	81 54. The Mouse And The Mask by DangerDoom October 11, 2005 This collaboration between MF Doom and Danger Mouse includes voices and skits from Cartoon Network's Adult Swim shows. Non-animated folks like Ghostface Killah, Cee-Lo & Talib Kweli also lend a hand. Metascore: 81 User Score: 8.6

	81 60. 12 Songs by Neil Diamond November 8, 2005 Producer Rick Rubin attempts to do for Neil Diamond what he did for Johnny Cash, resulting in a rare stripped-down, intimate set for the veteran performer. (Don't expect any Nine Inch Nails covers, though; these are all Diamond originals.) Metascore: 81 User Score: 8.3
	81 61. The Milk Of Human Kindness by Caribou May 3, 2005 'Human Kindness' is the latest disc of psychedelic electronica from Dan Snaith, who formerly recorded under the name Manitoba (before a threatened lawsuit from a similarly-named artist caused the switch to the similarly-Canadian Caribou). Metascore: 81 User Score: 8.3

	80 73. The Sunlandic Twins by Of Montreal April 12, 2005 Kevin Barnes' eighth Of Montreal disc finds the Georgian heading into more electronic territory, enlisting his laptop to assist in the recording process. Music on a laptop--who knew? Metascore: 80 User Score: 8.6

	80 89. Nashville by Josh Rouse February 22, 2005 The singer-songwriter follows his acclaimed effort '1972' with another album produced by Brad Jones. Don't be fooled by the title: it's not a country album, but rather, a farewell to the city Rouse has called home for the past decade (before moving to Spain). Metascore: 80 User Score: 8.7
