Top 96 Music Albums of the 2000s

I don't have many 5 stars in the aughts. But more than I have in the '10s and '20s! Pretty slim pickings after 70, and I couldn't even get to 100.

I think many people regard this as a top-heavy album - a couple of good singles and the rest is lesser songs. I rather see it as a consistent mood and atmosphere established from beginning to end, with no filler, which is why I see it as the best album of the past 25 years. Fantastic production, arrangement, and performance. They lay down a masterpiece here. It's jarring how quickly their catalog falls off from here.

The deluxe edition that includes "You Are Fading." This is a profoundly underrated album for mood and atmosphere as well as great songwriting. They were abject buffoons for abandoning this approach, although the follow-up was still good.

The deluxe version that includes "Swimming." My least favorite songs on the album are "Dog Days are Over" and "Kiss with a Fist." The last 5-star album here.
