My 11 Best Albums of 2004 should have been 12. I don't know how I forgot William Shatner's masterpiece, but I have fixed it now. Laugh all you want, but I have never heard a record that blends humility and hubris like this. I love it.
Ben Folds' Super D EP is an early candidate for 2005's list. I haven't heard the other EPs yet (he's on an EP kick), but I might combine them into a single entry. This record's pretty incredible.
