Best of 2009.

[black coffee]

You're right about that, and I am willing to explain:
About dredg, I think it is their worst album to date. And to be honest, I never really understood all the hype about Wavering Radiant. It is a good album, even a very good one. But Oceanic, Panopticon and In The Absence Of Truth do much more to me. If there is some hidden brilliancy in it that I cannot see, please tell me about it.

If you haven't discovered it yourself I can't tell you about it, man.

To each his own I guess...

[defTHE1s]

best albums:
Thrice - Beggars: Fell in love with it before 3 listens
Chevelle - Sci-Fi Crimes: same as Thrice
Rammstein - Liebe ist Für Alle Da. I'm a fan. Get over it 

worthing mentions:
The Horrors - Primary Colours: Pretty decent in my opinion
Muse - The Resistance............ some songs are very good, but... it feels is lacking something...

need to check:
Them Crooked Vultures
and some others in my "now playing" list

Damn this is hard.  So many great releases this year!

1. Kid Cudi- Man on the Moon: End of Day
2. Passion Pit- Manners
3. Dredg- The Pariah, The Parrot, The Delusion
4. Thrice- Beggars
5. Animal Collective- Merriweather Post Pavilion
6. Isis-Wavering Radiant
7. Chip The Ripper-The Cleveland Show (mixtape)
8. The Big Pink- A Brief History of Love

I think Im the only one that didn't fall in love with The Crooked Vultures album.  Which is a huge bummer for me.  I was so stoked for that release and It just doesn't impress me that much.  And I've given it plenty of spins.  It sounds like you guys all love it.  But everyone has their own taste!
