The Full Bestest List and also rans

So for the love of god we're finally done with all these damn record reviews for 2005. We never realized how difficult it is to talk about music that you love... but it is, and we hope that you have mostly enjoyed our thoughts on some of our favorite new music. Anyway, here is a full list of the albums we reviewed and the links to the original reviews, as well as some other records we liked this year that didn't quite make the cut. Oh, and for some reason our #1 post about Caribou was published down the page a little bit, so scroll down or just click the link to take a look.
