| Mid-year Top 10 Records
So yeah, it's my first list and I thought it'd
be neat start this
with the records I'm in love with in ' 09 so far.
Here it goes: | | 1 |  | Taking Back Sunday
New Again
At least for me, this record it's their best since Tell All Your Friends. Maybe
I'm
a TBS fanboy, but this record couldn't be released at a better time in my
life than this year. Just like TAYF was the soundtrack of my days as a high
school kid, New Again is the soundtrack of my young manhood. | | 2 |  | Thursday
Common Existence
Geoff Rickly does it again. This man is a legend, probably the Tim Kinsella of
this decade. This record is fucking solid, awesome to those moments when
I want to scream my lungs out. | | 3 |  | As Cities Burn
Hell or High Water
Addictive. One of the most catchiest songs of the year are inside this baby.
Excellent record. | | 4 |  | Manchester Orchestra
Mean Everything To Nothing
This record, unlike so many others, deserves all the hype it gets. It isn't
exactly what I'd normally listen but I can't get enough of it. | | 5 |  | Japandroids
Post-Nothing
Such an astonishing surprise. If that's a sign of the change of times, if this
breeze of fresh air that it is Post-Nothing is just the tip of the iceberg, then
hook me up with the new revolution. | | 6 |  | The Decemberists
The Hazards of Love
Beautiful. Probably will crawl its way up on my Top 10 until the end of the
year. | | 7 | | Cursive
Mama, I'm Swollen
Great record. Not their best, not their worst... but I'm a sucker for Cursive.
Sue me. | | 8 |  | The Dear Hunter
Act III: Life and Death
Brilliant. Like any of The Dear Hunter records. | | 9 |  | Emery
...In Shallow Seas We Sail
Emery is back with a vengeance. Arguably their best record to date. Growing on
me each time I listen. | | 10 |  | Alexisonfire
Old Crows / Young Cardinals
I've just bought this one, and I think it could go up a little until the end of
the year. I'm proud of this band for reinventing themselves. And I like the
new direction. And yeah, I know most of people will disagree with me about
this. | |

06.25.09 | not bad
1, 5, and 7 are all solid and i'm thinking i might give in and check out 3 | Comatorium.
06.25.09 | 2, 3, and 4 are good. 10 is growing on me more and more. I like it, a lot. As for 8, I've never listened to anything by them... I'm thinking i should start. | lobby
06.25.09 | These half-year lists by indie kids are always so predictable, same albums over and over again... | Yotimi
06.25.09 | ^I count 3 indie albums here so nice try. 3&4 are awesome. 9 was awful imo and I love Say Anything and Saves The Day. | TheGoddamnBatman
06.25.09 | I'd hardly call anything on my list as indie but Japandroids. And Yotimi, I know that Two Tongues isn't that good, it isn't what I expected either. But I need something until the new Say Anything is released. I just placed it here almost in a way of saying "well, it's crap, but since I'm waiting for Say Anything's new record, it will do". | TREO5
06.25.09 | Not bad. Love Dear Hunter and Alexisonfire (but haven't hear old crows, almost bought it today.) I also bought Mama, I'm Swollen on an impulse buy, I have never heard their music before. I really want to listen to it but am really enjoying the other album I bought Margot and the Ultimate So Sos Not Animal. | Electric City
06.25.09 | this is pretty unique tbh compared to a lot of other stuff | freddievillarreal
06.26.09 | 8 & 10 win. :) | TheGoddamnBatman
06.27.09 | Thanks for the (if I can dare call it) compliment, Eletric City (: | TheGoddamnBatman
07.06.09 | Bumping this because I've done some little changes on my top ten list. New Emery is fuckin bad ass. | Knott-
07.06.09 | needs Mono! |
