Favourite Top 10 albums of 2009

[Postulate]

Some good picks so far, hope you guys don't mind if I use this topic as a "to listen to" list... :|

Absolutely check out these!

 

[Taliwakker]

The Dear Hunter-Act III

Best album of the year....don't worry about another 9.

 

[JesterIF]

There's nothing really standing out for me from 2009. I could say Devin Townsend's Ki did it for me, and it could well be my favorite release from 2009. After that, there's like 15-20 albums I like, but I can't really make a top 10 list.

Aahh...there is someone else who likes them here. Like I said in my post...I'm really liking Act III so far. I haven't delved into it as much though, still letting the first two sink in.

Has anyone heard the new Immortal album yet?

It wasn't all that good in my opinion, especially with this insane black metal renaissance of awesome bands going on currently.

I Just got act 1,2 and 3 and really digging them all , they remind me of Muse and Dredge exept much more going on in the music not so boring IMHO

 

[Kenneth R.]

You're saying it's better than Dredg? You're out of your gourd.
