Top Albums of 2009 - The Thread

[Jeff-Loomis-fan]

say wut! new Necrophagist album... hmm i wonder...

 

[derek]

That's a pretty great list.

I am pretty psyched about the new Novembers Doom.

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

That's a pretty great list.

I am pretty psyched about the new Novembers Doom.

Oops missed it, add that to my list.

 

[stefan86]

Would be cool if ND did something new, "Novella Reservoir" was kinda "Pale Haunt Departure" part 2. With that kinda vocalist I'm hoping for something growltastic

 

[derek]

Those two records are excellent though. I'd be happy with more of the same, but something a little different would be equally awesome.

 

[Calamitas1786]

The new Freak Kitchen doesn't come out until December?

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

All the ones I have interest in. Pretty sizable list!

The new Rudra is fucking amazing. A lotta people here would probably dig it.

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

Agreed.

Glittertind gets my vote so far. New Jesu is fucking GOOD though.

 

[Nikki]

Checked out the new Insomnium...I need to give it another chance.

Definite candidates:
