Prediction: Top 20 Of '09
This is how its probably gonna go down, but rec stuff. |
| 1 |  | Mono
Hymn To The Immortal Wind
Obviously. If this isn't in your top 20 then you obviously didn't listen close enough, *cough*Caleb*cough*. |
| 2 | | Do Make Say Think
Other Truths
I just listened to the second time and now I'm thinking I see a classic coming along. |
| 3 | | Brand New
Daisy
I'm not exactly expecting them to pull another classic out of their ass but anything lower than 3rd spot will be a slight disappointment, I'm looking at you As Cities Burn.I listened to Do the first time and got what I was expecting; a song that was obviously great. |
| 4 |  | Jonsi and Alex
Riceboy Sleeps
A minimalist masterpiece, but apparently I'm in the minority. |
| 5 | | Converge
Axe To Fall
Dark Horse kicks so much ass. |
| 6 |  | The Antlers
Hospice
The concept is poweful, lyrically devasting and catchy as eff. Everything about this is gorgeuos. |
| 7 |  | As Cities Burn
Hell Or High Water
Come Now Sleep was a life changing album, this is obviously not. But what it is, is one of my favorite records of the year. |
| 8 |  | Tiny Vipers
Life on Earth
Its kind of like if Soap And Skin and Sleepingdog had a baby, and the Great Lake Swimmers and Glissando had a baby and those two babies fucked. That would be Life On Earth. |
| 9 |  | Spires
Flowers and Fireworks
Well I acually haven't heard this yet but I assume it's just that awesome. Since My comps being retarded, I'll probably just order it here. The split with Mesa Verde chould be mind blowing. |
| 10 |  | Great Lake Swimmers
Lost Channels
Why have no one listened to this yet? It's incredible! |
| 11 |  | Mew
No More Stories
The only reason I've given it a 4 is because I haven't had it for long and it seems like the kind of thing that would bore me from like a week from now but yah this is sooo good. I know I heard a version of Comforting Sounds thats with guitar and not synth and fell inlove but the vocals always turned me off to their other material until I gave this a chance. I'm so glad I did so far. |
| 12 |  | P.O.S.
Never Better
The "omg an acual good rap record" feeling kind of died down but this is still an amazing release. |
| 13 |  | Soap and Skin
Lovetune for Vacuum
Thanks Balls. |
| 14 |  | Cursive
Mama, I'm Swollen
The first Cursive I acually really enjoyed. And I enjoy this alot. |
| 15 |  | Manchester Orchestra
Mean Everything To Nothing
The Only One and Shake It Off are such awesome tunes. |
| 16 |  | Sights And Sounds
Monolith
Devin Townsend produced it, now go listen to it. |
| 17 |  | Japandroids
Post-Nothing
Because we've all cranked Young Hearts Spark Fires and Wet Hair at some point. |
| 18 |  | Wolves In the Throne Room
Black Cascade
Not Two Hunters good but still fricken mind blowing. |
| 19 |  | Pilate
Wooden Bones
See 10. Just not as incredible. |
| 20 |  | Towers
Full Circle
I also have not heard this but I'm pretty sure it rocks out with its cock out. Probably will order this. |
| 21 |  | Wilco
Wilco (The Album)
Because every record needs alittle Wilco. |
