2. Shpongle - Nothing Lasts... But Nothing is Lost

3. VA - Life is... Dimension

4. Ticon - Zero Six After

5. Bluetech - Sines and Singularities

 

I haven't listened to Derango's Tumult and Ghreg on Earth's Sigliweaver yet, so this might change, though I doubt that.

ok, seriously now :)

 

- all posters can edit their threads as much as they want. the thread is open until we close it. so yes, you can still change your minds.

 

- you can freely post your "best of 2005" list, and write as many releases you want. but we kindly ask you to add also a top 5 at the end of your post... like a best-of of your best-of. this way we will be able to make a calculation and present you a chart. right?

In the list above I have entered the release dates as discogs has them. Some of them only said release 2005 without a date.

 

I wanted to check whether there is a tendency to nominate 2005's latest releases over the earlier releases. I mean, that's very typical. The last releases pops up the easiest in ones mind and also normally people tend to be more happy about the newest stuff. 6 months down the line ones opinion may have changed and be more fair compared to stuff released, say, 9 months ago. Or, you know ...

 

I'm not a statician and it's necessary to do some math work in excel before you can determine for sure whether there is a significant tendency to nominate late releases (or early for that matter). Anyhow, just looking at the release dates it does seem that the most liked releases are often from the 2nd half of 2005.

 

Of the top 10 albums, 3 are from the first half of 2005.

 

That doesn't have to mean anything off course. Maybe the best albums were just released here.

 

Well, just thought I'd share my idea.

 

That's it for my 2 intellectual cents. :)

i know what you mean and i tend to aggree with you. thank you (and Maden) for contributing.

 

but we have to "trust" people to be objective about it. meaning that for example, if i liked Broken Toy in early 2005, but now i haven't been listening to it in months, then i still admitted that to me it was good then, so it earned a place in my "best of - nominations" list.

 

each psynewser has been typing here their "personal taste" best of, and there is nothing you can do about "personal taste". in this case, i am sure the Top 5 contains albums/comps that they liked the most in 2005, even if it means the first half of 2005 (Antix, Jaia, Shpongle, etc) or the second half (Derango, Khetzal, Ticon). you don't forget your favourite albums that easily. or at least i hope so.

 

:)
