New, disappointing material by Kevin Shields. It was the fact that the soundtrack contained new material by Kevin Shields. If you’re anything like me, the main selling point of Sofia Coppola’s Lost In Translation wasn’t Bill Murray’s acting. While all of our individual writers’ lists are idiosyncratic testaments to the music that they’ve enjoyed over the past five years, when it’s all said and done, Stylus Magazine’s Top 50 Albums of 2000-2005 are “something in which no one believes and to which no one objects.” T was Margaret Thatcher that once said, “consensus seems to be the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values, and policies.” As we wind down our list bonanza for this year, it seems more and more obvious that the Iron Lady had a point.
