Prediction: Top 20 Of '09
This is how its probably gonna go down, but rec stuff. |
1 | ![](images/albums/34657.jpg-thumbl) | Mono Hymn To The Immortal Wind
Obviously. If this isn't in your top 20 then you obviously didn't listen close enough, *cough*Caleb*cough*. |
2 | | Do Make Say Think Other Truths
I just listened to the second time and now I'm thinking I see a classic coming along. |
3 | | Brand New Daisy
I'm not exactly expecting them to pull another classic out of their ass but anything lower than 3rd spot will be a slight disappointment, I'm looking at you As Cities Burn.I listened to Do the first time and got what I was expecting; a song that was obviously great. |
4 | ![](images/albums/39123.jpg-thumbl) | Jonsi and Alex Riceboy Sleeps
A minimalist masterpiece, but apparently I'm in the minority. |
5 | | Converge Axe To Fall
Dark Horse kicks so much ass. |
6 | ![](images/albums/36044.jpg-thumbl) | The Antlers Hospice
The concept is poweful, lyrically devasting and catchy as eff. Everything about this is gorgeuos. |
7 | ![](images/albums/36115.jpg-thumbl) | As Cities Burn Hell Or High Water
Come Now Sleep was a life changing album, this is obviously not. But what it is, is one of my favorite records of the year. |
8 | ![](images/albums/38853.jpg-thumbl) | Tiny Vipers Life on Earth
Its kind of like if Soap And Skin and Sleepingdog had a baby, and the Great Lake Swimmers and Glissando had a baby and those two babies fucked. That would be Life On Earth. |
9 | ![](images/albums/37059.jpg-thumbl) | Spires Flowers and Fireworks
Well I acually haven't heard this yet but I assume it's just that awesome. Since My comps being retarded, I'll probably just order it here. The split with Mesa Verde chould be mind blowing. |
10 | ![](images/albums/37634.jpg-thumbl) | Great Lake Swimmers Lost Channels
Why have no one listened to this yet? It's incredible! |
11 | ![](images/albums/39418.jpg-thumbl) | Mew No More Stories
The only reason I've given it a 4 is because I haven't had it for long and it seems like the kind of thing that would bore me from like a week from now but yah this is sooo good. I know I heard a version of Comforting Sounds thats with guitar and not synth and fell inlove but the vocals always turned me off to their other material until I gave this a chance. I'm so glad I did so far. |
12 | ![](images/albums/35042.jpg-thumbl) | P.O.S. Never Better
The "omg an acual good rap record" feeling kind of died down but this is still an amazing release. |
13 | ![](images/albums/35538.jpg-thumbl) | Soap and Skin Lovetune for Vacuum
Thanks Balls. |
14 | ![](images/albums/35887.jpg-thumbl) | Cursive Mama, I'm Swollen
The first Cursive I acually really enjoyed. And I enjoy this alot. |
15 | ![](images/albums/36483.jpg-thumbl) | Manchester Orchestra Mean Everything To Nothing
The Only One and Shake It Off are such awesome tunes. |
16 | ![](images/albums/38876.jpg-thumbl) | Sights And Sounds Monolith
Devin Townsend produced it, now go listen to it. |
17 | ![](images/albums/37202.jpg-thumbl) | Japandroids Post-Nothing
Because we've all cranked Young Hearts Spark Fires and Wet Hair at some point. |
18 | ![](images/albums/35889.jpg-thumbl) | Wolves In the Throne Room Black Cascade
Not Two Hunters good but still fricken mind blowing. |
19 | ![](images/albums/39702.jpg-thumbl) | Pilate Wooden Bones
See 10. Just not as incredible. |
20 | ![](images/albums/39598.jpg-thumbl) | Towers Full Circle
I also have not heard this but I'm pretty sure it rocks out with its cock out. Probably will order this. |
21 | ![](images/albums/37680.jpg-thumbl) | Wilco Wilco (The Album)
Because every record needs alittle Wilco. |
