It's the day before 2010 and it's been a fantastic year for music. I've been revisiting a lot of the 2009 releases and have concluded that I simply need to re-do my list. Some albums I didn't put on my list, in the first place, have simply grown too much on me, that it would be a crime not to include them now.

So here goes - TOP 10 OF 2009 (ALPHABETICAL ORDER):

1. Alice in Chains - Black Gives Way to Blue


2. Baroness - Blue Record


3. Converge - Axe to Fall


4. Dredg - The Pariah, the Parrot, the Delusion


5. Isis - Wavering Radiant


6. Kylesa - Static Tensions


7. Mastodon - Crack the Skye


8. Russian Circles - Geneva


9. Them Crooked Vultures - Self-titled


10. Thrice - Beggars


Honorable mentions:
Soulsavers - Broken
Between the Buried and Me - The Great Misdirect
Dethklok - Dethalbum II
Karnivool - Sound Awake
Pearl Jam - Backspacer
Tom Waits - Glitter and Doom Live
Poison the Well - The Tropic Rot
Zombi - Spirit Animal
Pelican - What We All Come to Need

hm, maybe I should pay more attention to modern music. I can't even come up with 10 albums from 2009. here's what I really liked though:

Faunts - Feel. Love. Thinking. Of.
Mew - No More Stories/Are Told Today/I'm Sorry/They Washed Away/No More Stories/The World Is Grey/I'm Tired/Let's Wash Away
Paradise Lost - Faith Divides Us, Death Unites Us
Pearl Jam - Backspacer
Isis - Wavering Radiant
Alice in Chains - Black Gives Way to Blue
Dredg - The Pariah, the Parrot, the Delusion
Thrice - Beggars

I know I've missed a few simply because I haven't listened to them yet, but I can't really put them up there until I have.

[funk_brother]

baroness:blue album
mastodon:crack the skye
alice in chains:black gives way to blue
muse:the resistance
