Halfway Through 2009
Besides the big 3 household names that we've lost over the
course of the past 3-4 days, a local
police officer/D.A.R.E. counselor of my city also passed away
because of cancer before reaching
the age of 50. A local girl also died a few days ago after being
hit by a falling tree. Top 20 albums
of 2009 motherfucker. |
1 | | Mono Hymn to the Immortal Wind
sucks dick. |
2 | | Gwynbleidd Nostalgia
Better than more than half of Opeth's discography - this coming from an Opeth fanboy. |
3 | | Maudlin of the Well Part the Second
Album gets better with repeated listens. Still have a mancrush on Mr. Driver. |
4 | | Dream Theater Black Clouds and Silver Linings
BY THE GRACE OF GOD ABOVE EVERYONE SURVIVED. ROOOOOOAAAAARR |
5 | | Isis Wavering Radiant
Grew off of me, but growing on me again. My favorite Isis record. |
6 | | Be'lakor Stone's Reach
This is growing on me, possible 4.5 in the future. |
7 | | Fightstar Be Human
This came out of nowhere for me. Really digging this atm, especially Give Me the Sky. |
8 | | Gorod Process of a New Decline
I listened to this while mowing the lawn the other day and have never had more fun whilst doing so. |
9 | | Darkest Hour The Eternal Return
Better than I anticipated, nearly as good as Deliver Us. |
10 | | Propagandhi Supporting Caste
Not too big on the really short tracks but the rest rules. |
11 | | Drudkh Microcosmos
Need to get more of these guys' material. |
12 | | Mastodon Crack the Skye
Grown off of me a lot since I first heard it, but still really good. |
13 | | Coalesce Ox
Kicks ass. 'nuff said. |
14 | | Riverside Anno Domini High Definition
The first track pretty much sucks but the album gets progressively better from there. |
15 | | Silversun Pickups Swoon
Grown off of me as well. The first half is so much better than the second half. |
16 | | The Mars Volta Octahedron
Sometimes I really love this, other times I find it a little boring. |
17 | | Gnostic Engineering the Rule
Fucking crazy ass shit. |
18 | | Sacred Oath Sacred Oath
I should review this probably. More people should hear these guys. |
19 | | Wolves in the Throne Room Black Cascade
Long, but really good for the most part. |
20 | | Dredg The Pariah, The Parrot, The Delusion
Lots of great material here. |
