top 10 of 2009

Right now it's like this:

Warning - Watching From A Distance (Album of the year, all years.)
Absu - Absu
Gov't Mule - By A Thread
Master's Hammer - Mantras
The Chasm - Farseeing The Paranormal Abysm
Slough Feg - Ape Uprising
Phish - Joy
Arghoslent's half of Send Forth Ye Best Of Breed
Mastodon - Crack the Skye
Katharsis - Fourth Reich


May change when I actually dive into some of these 09 releases I'm seeing mentioned in this here thread.
 
Watching from a Distance is not a 2009 release, is it?

No, it's 2006... but it's Album of the year all years... so it goes in.

Edit: the real reason it's there is that I can't actually think of a 10th album right now... Time to listen to some 09 releases.
