[2 SOAD_BYOBVid_Explicit_450.asx]We may be a little late in throwing this at you, but some people prefer to wait until after the year is over to make a best-of list. (Yes, I know the music industry pretty much just takes all of December off. But it's the principle of the thing.) 2005 was a significantly better musical year than the prior one, and narrowing it down to just ten was a difficult task. Excellent discs from the likes of Bear vs. Shark, Fall Out Boy, Fantômas, and Son Volt had to be passed over, as well as the second half of System of a Down's two-headed monster. It's important to note that after a year of seasoning, last year's choices are still holding up remarkably well. And that gives Velvet Elvis the confidence to declare himself Greatest Music Critic Ever. Compare: Modest Mouse? The Hives? Still excellent records a year later. But have you listened to Van Lear Rose or Medulla lately? Puh-leeze. Critics are bandwagon-jumping hipster idiots. But the wisdom of The Obscure Minority endureth forever. Why mess with perfection? We've got a formula and we're sticking to it. Technically amazing metal band? Check. A disc that was scrapped multiple times before finally being released? Check. British rapper? Check. Highly influential altero-rockers' greatest hits disc? Check. Something from the guys who used to be in At the Drive-In? Check and double check. So with consistency and timelessness in mind, The Obscure Minority presents Velvet Elvis' top 10 albums of 2005: 1. Alkaline Trio - Crimson website , listen , watch ( 1 , 2 ) Vagrant and Jade Tree represent a lot of what's wrong with music today. Both companies consistently sign cookie-cutter punk and emo groups who are far more concerned with fashion and scenester-ism than with music. Both labels (and, by association, both labels' bands) are continually beholden to the sellout police, striving to be just popular enough that a lot of angsty highschoolers know their music, spendplenty of mommy and daddy's money on the bands' merch (especially the much-sought-after zipper hoodie!), and request their videos on Fuse; but not quite popular enough that the average radio-controlled ClearChannel listener has heard of them. And yet, two years in a row I've said a band from one ofthese labels has released the best album of the year. Somehow while searching out such world-beaters as Breather Resist and J Church, Jade Tree managed to accidentally sign Pedro the Lion. And while Vagrant was chasing down total rock stars Moneen and No Motiv, they accidentally threw a contract Alkaline Trio's way. I suppose if you look long enough you're liable to find a diamond or two, even if any ol' rock will do. But enough complaining about their label--Alkaline Trio has released a top-notch disc that impresses for 13 straight songs. Sure, there are a lot of bands selling the  we're dark because we wear eyeliner, listen to the Cure, and sing about death  thing these days (My Chemical Romance and AFI immediately come to mind), but Alkaline Trio is the only one that does it convincingly. When Daniel Andriano opens  Settle for Satin  with the line  It's not so much a storm, but just a cloud that lives inside of me,  you know they're not putting up a front. And after Matt Skiba sings about Susan Atkins in  Sadie G.,  you wouldn't be suprised to find Helter Skelter on his nightstand. Additionally, the production on the disc is top-notch. Jerry Finn (who previously helped Pennywise and Rancid polish their sound) throws in a lot of keys and strings, but the dual sore-throat vocals of Skiba and Andriano keep the cleaner sound from softening the songs. It's not that this band hasn't released a quality full-length before-- Goddamnit! and Good Mourning were both excellent (how did AK3 not make it on the Great Bands list ? I need to revise that thing.). But Crimson is the first time they've managed to write an entire album full of singles. As far as punk albums go, that puts them in rare company with Dookie and Smash. Not too shabby. 2. Fiona Apple - Extraordinary Machine website , listen , watch So-called  lost  albums are never as good as the rabid fans swear they are--witness Dave Matthews' The Lillywhite Sessions or Prince's The Black Album . So I'm not even going to talk about the original Jon Brion recordings that have been floating around the internets. The commercially-released version of Extraordinary Machine is hot and that's what matters to me. Sure, it's not as immediately brilliant as When the Pawn... , but simply because an artist doesn't live up to their past output doesn't mean they're not still miles ahead of the competition. The songs on this disc are simpler and more upbeat than anything Fiona has done previously, and the arrangements are sparser as well. But in a weird way, Apple's managed to expand her sound by cutting it down. It makes the few production flairs much more effective--witness the hip-hop backbeat and piano-run-through-a-distortion-pedal sounds that show up on  Tymps  and the more prominent use of percussion throughout the disc. The lyrics are different too; while they're certainly still angry (anything less wouldn't be Fiona Apple) they at least show a modicum of hope, which is more than she's ever given us before. 3. The Mars Volta - Frances the Mute website , listen , watch ( 1 , 2 ) If anyone today is making art instead of just rock music, it's The Mars Volta. Their 2003 LP received boatloads of acclaim, but I never quite got what the hype was about. It was decent music but the songs were far too schizophrenic to ever begin to make sense and the song titles and lyrics seemed to have been created by Omar Rodriguez closing his eyes, opening a dictionary, and pointing at words-- Drunkship of Lanterns ? What does that even mean? I know it supposed to be experimental rock, but still... On Frances the Mute , however, the band has managed to keep the post-rock vibe alive while at the same time creating coherent musical pieces that actually flow and fit together instead of just random blasts of guitar and voice. This by no means is to say Mars Volta has lost their edge--it's still miles from being something radio would touch with a 10-foot pole. The risk-taking and the passion are still there, but this time they're using a scalpel instead of a shotgun. 4. Queens of the Stone Age - Lullabies to Paralyze website , listen , watch ( 1 , 2 , 3 ) The entire rhythm section is gone. No Nick Oliveri on bass. No rock god Dave Grohl on drums. Time for the Queens' collapse, right? WRONG. Lullabies to Paralyze proves to all the doubters that what kept Songs for the Deaf in our CD players wasn't the bone-crunching basslines or the Animal-from-the-Muppets drumming, it was Josh Homme's brilliant songwriting. Sure, Lullabies is much darker and not quite as ferocious as their last album, which may lead to a  letdown  label upon first listen. But this is one of those timeless discs that gets better each time you hear it. Songs like  Tangled Up in Plaid  and  Burn the Witch  ride some very memorable riffs, and the hook in  Little Sister  is as good as anything Cheap Trick ever wrote. Think QOTSA's gone soft? Listen to the first minute of  Someone's in the Wolf  and then tell me that. Lullabies to Paralyze proves Queens of the Stone Age are the greatest hard rock band in the world. 5. System of a Down - Mezmerize website , listen , watch ( 1 , 2 ) A single misstep kept the most innovative heavy metal band in the last 20 years from releasing the runaway album of the year--namely,  Old School Hollywood  (yes, it's that bad--why in the world do they name-check Jack Gilardi?). Other than that single screw-up, however, this album is mind-blowingly good. All the classic SOAD elements are here: the socio-political commentary ( B.Y.O.B. ), the absurdism ( This Cocaine Makes Me Feel Like I'm on this Song ), the frantic, mind-melding thrash ( Cigaro ), the weird world music riffs ( Radio/Video ), the tender moments ( Lost in Hollywood )--everything that made the self-titled disc promising, that made Steal this Album! interesting, that made Toxicity great. But don't think Mezmerize is the sound of a band satisfied with where they're at. They've taken all these elements, turned them up to speaker-blowing levels, and thrown in anything else within an arms reach that they weren't already doing. The most interesting of the new elements is the emergence of guitarist Daron Malakian as a second vocalist. While he had previously been relegated to the occasional background vocal, this time we seehim stepping up to share the spotlight with lead vocalist Serj Tankian. The two are harmonizing on at least half the vocal lines and not only does Malkian take a lot of the lyrics solo, but he gets an entire song to showcase his talents. While he's not quite capable of the gymnastics Tankian is, Malakian's got an otherworldly scream and is capable of a number of different vocal sounds--including a strangely endearing affected British accent on  Lost in Hollywood.  Mezmerize was conceived as the first half of a double album (with the two halves released seperately in true Use Your Illusion style). The second half ( Hypnotize ) complements Mezmerize well, but this CD still manages to be a total thrill to listen to even if you've never heard its companion piece. 6. Starflyer 59 - Talking Voice vs. Singing Voice website , listen I once mentioned that SF59 was perhaps the most unjustly overlooked band in music today, and this album just proves my point. With Talking Voice vs. Singing Voice , they've created a wonderfully lush pop masterpiece that somehow manages to eclipse their definitive 2001 album Leave Here a Stranger . Horns, keys, strings, handclaps, and electronics weave their way through Starflyer's dense, shoegazer-derived sound and wrap around Jason Martin's breathy vocals. This evening I was listening to  Good Sons  and I just kept thinking one thought over and over: This is crazy good. I've espoused the virtues of Starflyer 59 before, so there's no need to recap. Suffice it to say that these nine songs are better than any other nine Martin has written before--and that's saying something. Listen to his songs at the link above and then go out and buy the CD so he can afford to make a video. 7. Extol - The Blueprint Dives website , listen , watch Scandinavia must be a weird place because the only bands to ever come out of there are ABBA, The Cardigans, and about 800,000 of the most brutal metal bands known to man. Apparently there's something about Norway, Sweden, and the rest of those countries that makes kids dream of growing up to make songs that either sound like a bunch of ice pixies or like you're going through a self-made Pi -style lobotomy. Extol has chosen the latter route. The Blueprint Dives is Extol's fourth and best full-length. The band has never been one to sit still, as they've sampled from just about every type of extreme metal and changed up their sound quite a bit on each release--from their death/black metal roots to the more technical, thrash informed work of more recent releases. On The Blueprint Dives , however, the band has found a way to integrate all of their previous exploration into one coherent vision and the results are beautiful. The disc starts out with two tracks that manage to distill everything Opeth does into a succinct three-minute song, but Extol are by no means aping those giants of Scandinavian metal. As the rest of the disc shows, this band is about breaking the chains that have held this style of music so genre-bound. Song after song, Extol take extreme metal as a touchstone and expand into brand new territory, creating one of the the most--dare I say it?-- accessible discs they possibly could. This is a band that can at once appeal to fans of Mudvayne and fans of Pink Floyd. There's not reallyany group out there today that is merging different sounds the way they are. You catch glimpses of Tool, Meshuggah, At the Gates and others upon occasion but it's just that--a glimpse. It never overwhelms the highly original sound. Instead, what you get is a rewarding and memorable listen. 8. At the Drive-In - This Station is Non-Operational: Anthology website , listen , watch When At the Drive-In  went on hiatus  (aka, broke up) in 2001 they were little more than a quick flash in musical history. Based on the strength of the single  One Armed Scissor,  their album Relationship of Command hadcreeped to #116 on the Billboard charts--perhaps a decent showing for a previously independent band's major-label debut, but nothing really notable. They were just another in a long line of Spacehogs. But since they disbanded, the music has taken on a life of its own and At the Drive-In has grown to have a massive influence on today's rock scene. Not only have the members go on to found more successful bands (The Mars Volta and Sparta), but the music they made together as At the Drive-In has spawned boatloads followers. Their importance to the emo scene is eclipsed perhaps only by Weezer and Sunny Day Real Estate, and the inroads they made--for good or for bad--went a long way toward making the current crop of emo-punk bands marketable. They really are the new Minor Threat. This greatest hits disc, then, serves as a great overview of the entire career of a groundbreaking band. The extraordinary musical growth is evident. You see them as a bunch of El Paso kids who obviously listened to a lot of Fugazi and Quicksand ( Picket Fence Cartel ); you see their flirtation with Hum-style artiness ( Lopsided ); and you see them meld post-hardcore with nu-metal ( One Armed Scissor ). This isan essential purchase for anyone interested in how rock music got where it is today. But even for serious fans of the band it holds a lot of interest because of the numerous b-sides tacked onto the end of the disc and the included DVD of videos and other info. 9.
