Rate 2009 music wise so far.

I would say its great so far, better than 2008 already. I would give it a 9, I'm looking forward to porcupine tree's new album THE INCIDENT, and the Avett Brothers new album later this year.

for the most part its pretty meh.The only new album i bought this year was Green day's 21st century breakdown, but MCR's new album may be out late this year so that'll brighten up the year for me :)

Like the past ten years...meh.

Terrible, that's why I haven't heard any.CRS98

There are lots of fantastic albums from 2009, you just havent heard them yet;) Search around and you will find something.

Thats a terrible assumption, new music is fantastic.

To be honest, I don't think I can think of any noteworthy songs so far this year. If I can't think of anything, then perhaps this year has been weak for the most part - for me, anyways.

I don't believe any of my favourite bands have made any music this year, though Incubus did release an album of awesome B-sides. Mind you, that doesn't really count, so I'll give this year 2/10 thusfar.

It's been pretty damn good so far despite one or two albums I had to look back on an say "well that wasn't as good as I thought"

nothing has stood out for me. last year had cynic's newest album and the year before had the debut of blotted science. LoG-Sacrament

Here are some albums that stand out to me, you should check them out if you havent yet:)

Wild Light- Adult Nights

Dredg- The Pariah, the parrot, the delusion

Todd Snider- The Excitement Plan

Crystal Antlers- Tentacles

Tortoise- Beacons of Ancestorship

Grizzly Bear- Veckatimest

Dirty Projectors- Bitte Orca

Papercuts- You can have what you want

Bill Callahan- Sometimes I wish we were an eagle

Woods- Songs of shame

St. Vincent- Actor

Fever Ray- Fever Ray

The Decemberists- The Hazards of Love

The Dear Hunter- Act 3: Life and Death

Other Lives- Other Lives

Super Furry Animals- Dark Days/Light Years

Bell X1- Blue lights on the runway

Animal Collective- Merriweather post pavillion

Anthony and the johnsons- The Crying Light

Andrew Bird- Noble Beast

It's such a good year, thus far it's been a 7 but by the end of it, it could be a 10 if all the albums I am anticipating turn out greatToriko42

Which albums are you anticipating the most this year?

Merriweather Post Pavillion by Animal Collective- 3.75ish/5

Crack the Skye by Mastodon- 4/5( could be better if it wasn't lyrically and conceptually all over the map)

The Ecstatic by Mos Def- 3.5ish/5

Still looking forward to albums by AFI, Porcupine Tree, Wintersun, and Between the Buried and Me... and Mew :P. This year has a lot of potential to own or suck, still.

I've bought a couple of decent albums. But it doesn't beat two Nine Inch Nails releases in a year.

Good albums this year are:

Journal for Plague Lovers - Manic Street Preachers
Primary Colours - The Horrors
Immolate Yourself - Telefon Tel Aviv
Veckatimest - Grizzly Bear

The Eternal - Sonic Youth, earns a mention, although not as good as it could have been.

I await the new Mew album, and the new Health album, as I expect both to be good. Other than that, average year so far.

Mos Def- 3.5ish/5DivergeUnify

New Mew album? Details plz

DivergeUnify

No More Stories, comes out 24th August in the UK. They were supporting Nine Inch Nails and playing stuff off it, it seemed as good as ever.

The only album that I've really enjoyed this year is Fantasies by Metric. The new Set Your Goals album comes out this Tuesday, though.

:D

With the exception of Maxwell's Black Summer's Night...this year has been horrible.

I don't really listen to any underground or indie music, but most of the mainstream has been quite annoying so I rate it fail/10.

kasabian's album is ok, although the best songs on it were either on the fast fuse ep or leaked, arctic monkeys new stuff sounds boring, twangs new stuff amazing, but hands down and miles out in front so far this year for me has been doves brilliant album

Haha I just don't really listen to much music in general lately. The only album I'm looking forward to is the new Muse album in the fall.

Tech N9ne's Sickology 101 & Krizz Kaliko's Genius have made it it a great year so far. And once Tech N9ne's K.O.D. releases in October it will make it a wonderful year.

Well I've found a lot of great new music this year, but most of it is not from this year. However, Contagious by Trapt, New Divide by Linkin Park, and Lifeline by Papa Roach were all released this year, so it isn't all bad so far. I just wish Breaking Benjamin would come out with something new. >__>

Will do. Thanks for the suggestions.

Some fantastic stuff right there...DivergeUnify

The Killers have been doing a good job with their recent singles

Other than that, not much.

I was expecting something new from Amy Winehouse but that's obviously not gonna happen
