Your biggest 'album surprise' of 2004....

I have quite a few to choose from this year... but, based on some fellow boardies recommendations.. I purchased these cds and found myself pleasantly surprised to have enjoyed them very much. The first of these...

 

Keane- Hopes and Fears

 

At first I found myself saying.. "bah.. I cant get into this record"... but I slowly grew into it.. I started listening to it everynight before I went to bed.. and BAM! I fell in love.. it also happens to be the my best album pick for 2004. :cool: (thanks Esther! :kiss:)

 

The second one...

 

Snow Patrol- Final Straw

 

I heard it like 2x before really sinking my teeth into this one. Then again.. a fellow boardie told me.. "give it a few listens.. it'll come to you" and low and behold... he was right! :) "Gleaming Auction" is one of my favorite tracks and of course "Run"... the entire album really.. its a great record. :)

 

So there you have it.. those are just two of my most surprising albums of 2004.. what are some of yours?? :cool:

i think Franz Ferdinands album was a suprise, i really didn't think it was gonna turn out good, and i was scared when i bought it that i was gonna hate it

 

tand snow patrol, well when i first heard them i thought they'd have most of there songs like run, but then i heard the more upbreat songs (spitting games) and now im addicted :D

KEANE "Hopes and Fears" .. I though this one could be very good but I never ever thought that it would be THAT great.

 

ESKOBAR "A thousand last Chances" ... great Scandinavian Pop

 

U2 "How to dismantle an atomic bomb" ... also over my expectectations. I didn't think that they would be that good again :D

My surprise of the year is Sufjan Stevens' Seven Swans. I'm a relative newcomer to Sufjan's music, and when I bought Seven Swans on the recommendation of a friend I wasn't really expecting to like it too much, based on what I'd read about it. But I ended up loving it and buying the rest of his records (Michigan's my favorite though). :D
