you guys are  so heavy

[godin]

I thought Young Cardinals was okay. AOF are so mainstream now though, especially here in Canada

[Frankz0r]

You people always listen to the same shit all over the years. Every year in every thread in here you write about the same fkng bands haha. I'm talking about the 5 years that I'm here. Not shitty bands, but hey... Be open mind to new music.

Ok, now start insulting me. Go.

[Livewire]

Dethklok - Dethalbum II

I know I'll get bitched out by some people for the next suggestion but I don't care:

Wolfmother - Cosmic Egg

[defTHE1s]

I know I'll get bitched out by some people for the next suggestion but I don't care:

Rammstein - Liebe ist Für Alle Da

Ok, now start insulting me. Go.

i wanna know just who the fuck you're talking about here, because i'm fairly certain all of the regulars in the sticky topics in here and the rest of it have pretty varied tastes.  are we just supposed to forget about the bands that we like that keep releasing good cds just for variation's sake?  and not to hate on deftones, i clearly love the band, but you're more all up on their dick than a hell of a lot of the people here so it seems a little weird for you to try to call us out on that topic.

Let me hear everyone's top 3 favorite albums this year. Yeah, it's hard as fuck to narrow it down to only 3 albums, but give it a try.

My picks:

Dredg - The Pariah, the Parrot, the Delusion
Thrice - Beggars
Isis - Wavering Radiant

[bright lights, big city]

I'd say wait another month or so, then everything will officially be out, and we can do our top 10 lists or whatever

But if you want my top 3 right now, this is probably what it'll be:
1. Poison the Well - Tropic Rot
2. dredg - Pariah, Parrot, Delusion
3. Between the Buried and Me - Great Misdirect

[theis]

I can dig that list

Are there other mention worthy albums coming out before 2010?

[bright lights, big city]

Them Crooked Vultures I've got some high hopes for. Other bands with albums coming are Throwdown, Destiny Program, Gaza, and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones (I used to adore them, so I always get their albums)

[theis]

Oh yeah, forgot about Vultures.

[E-Money]

Yea i got a feeling CV is gonna be on the top of my list when it comes out.

but......

Dredg
Isis
Kid Cudi
Thrice

Good year for new tunes!  but i got a feeling were all gonna love 2010...especially feb/march...
