Best new album of 2009

[QUOTE="grenadexjumpr"]

Beggars by Thrice.

If you have an entire day to burn listen to all their songs..from their first ever to their most recent. The progression and evolution of their music is astounding. The Alchemy Index, Vheissu, and Beggars are 3 of the most amazing albums I've heard EVER. Hands down.

[QUOTE="web966"]

So good.

sammyjenkis898

Nice. Daisy is pretty different from The Devil and God though. The first time I listened to it I thought I put in the wrong CD, it didnt sound anything like Brand New. Its alot heavier.

The Resistance by Muse.. although it's not their best album imo.

That makes me happy.

Most of their albums tend to grow on you over time.

Same here. I totally hated that album the first time around and couldn't stand it. Then I forced myself through it and learned to love it.

I loves it.

So far, this is it.

I really want to pick up Brand New's new album, Daisy. I just recently got into them.

Brand New Eyes had a fantastic deluxe edition as well.HybridPhoenix

Agreed. I just love the whole album.

They are starting to get more popular. You should listen to their albums Lightbulb sun, Deadwing, and In Absentia.

I'd also like to mention Dear Agony by Breaking Benjamin. I'm listening to it now and it might be better than Phobia.

Did anyone hear John Frusciante's solo album The Empyrean? Its really good, his best by far next to Curtains. Also Steven Wilson's solo album insurgentes came out in wide release in january, has anyone else heard that?

"Number Seven" by Phideaux.RPG10080

Yay, someone else likes Phideaux:D I loved Number Seven, its their best album so far.

sammyjenkis898

Same, really like the direction they're taking. They really could have easilly marketed on the poppier success of misery business but they stuck to their guns and wrote this album as a process of how they've grown and changed and did what they needed to do.

It's what I expected too. It;s really hard to pick favorites because I really think they all have their awesome points, I'm gonna say my only real complaint is on brick by boring brick, I find that the verses really build up for something big then you hit the chorus, and it sounds awesome, I just feel like I was expecting something really big and agressive. Still a great song though.

Honestly I'm trying to think of a song that really stands out but then I just think of one of the others and I can't decide

I agree with you on Brick by Boring Brick to an extent. I love the end, with the chorus.

I absolutely love Misguided Ghosts. It reminds me of a City and Colour song. All I Wanted is beyond epic. Hayley really takes her vocal talents to another level.

yeah, it is a lot like dallas's style. I totally agree on all I wanted, they picked fantastic opening and ending songs. Her vocals give me the shivers because I know she's pushing it farther than she ever has which is amazing because she already puts in so much. Just overall a great album and I'm really looking forward to catching a show if I get the chanceHybridPhoenix

It's a shame so many people judge them on Misery Business. They're missing out, if you ask me.

I'm seeing them on the 27th. I can't wait.

On a side note, I really hope Dallas makes a City and Colour album by the end of this year/beginning of next year. I would love to see him live.

Why is this even debated Crack the Skye by Mastodon.

One song is about the drummer going out in the middle of the night because his dead sister came to him and told him to dig up her body. So he tried, jacked up on acid and scrapping at her grave with his fingernails. Then looking at the sky and thinking of his sister and how much he loved her.

THAT is deep.

Right Now for me it would be

The Used-Artwork

Paramore-Brand New Eyes

Breathe Carolina-Hello Fascination

Muse-The Resistance

Jay-Z-The Blueprint III

Jay-Z brought real hip hop back. I used to hate hip hop.

My fav album of 09 is Crack the Skye by Mastodon, and hopefully Brand New Eyes by Paramore is godly like I am hoping it will be.

09 has been pretty disappointing for me. Only two albums I'd say was fantastic would be Post-Nothing by Japandroids as well as Wavves by Wavves and thats only because I'm on a major noise-rock bent at the moment

I enjoyed The Eternal by Sonic Youth and Horehound by Dead Weather, them being the two albums I was interested in most, but they were fairly "meh" by "best album" standards.

This year I spent collecting good albums by Pavement, Sonic Youth and Steve Albini's projects, because, yes, I buy my music.

just got Kill Hannah's "wake up the sleepers", and I have to say it is my favorite album this year. so many different sounds, this album makes me want to rock out, and dance at the same time, yet has a few trackss that send me into an emotional state like some of radiohead's stuff.

Anyone who says otherwise is wrong.Big_Bad_Sad

Cosmogenesis, Oracles, and In the Constellation of the Black Widow kindly disagree:).

Another album I forgot to mention is Art Brut's newest album Art Brut vs Satan. Anyone else like this album? Also An Horse's debut album rearrange beds is worth listening too. I think 2009 rocks for good music:D

Nothing Personal - All Time Low.

New Again - Taking Back Sunday.

Pretty much it for me.

Marriweather Post Pavillion

Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest

Definitely my favourite album of the year.

I picked up a lot of new albums this year and I can't recall if some of them came out this year or not. From what I can remember:

Thrice -Beggars, Portugal. the Man -The Satanic Satanist, Brand New - Daisey,
