i was born in the desert...

I now present the three best albums of the year:

1.
ANTICS (2004)

This is post-punk at its best. Interpol has now released two singularly brilliant albums, both of which will become rock classics (see their 2002 debut album, Turn on the Bright Lights, which earned them favorable comparisons with the likes of Joy Division and The Fall).


2.
FRANZ FERDINAND (2004)

Addictive beyond repair, this New Wave glam rock band delivers the year's best debut. Who can resist the doom-thumping dance beats of tracks like "Take Me Out," "Michael," and "Darts of Pleasure"?


3.
THE CURE (2004)

This is the year's comeback album. Robert Smith transcends the 80s, finally, and it is a sight to behold.

Though I absolutely love The Cure, I am afraid that this album is hardly worthy of being noted as the best album of the year. Perhaps, Muse's Absolution or Green Day's American Idiot are more suited for this role.
