| Jom's Top 25 Of 2009
In an effort to be less verbose (what, has Jom gone senile?!), I'm just gonna run down my Top 25 albums of 2009. If you want to see the infamous EPIC WALLS OF JOMTEXT, be sure to have a look out for the collaborative staff feature (whose list looks awesome!), where I will proceed to knock everybody into a coma with my lines of bullshit. Until then, though, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to you... wishing you good luck, good health, and good fortune in 2010 and during this holiday season. Love, Jom | | 1 |  | Hilltop Hoods

12.21.09 | Good stuff Jom. I think you and I are the only ones that had 14 in our top 25. | TRMshadow
12.21.09 | 3 8 and 24 are wins. There are probably a bunch of other awesome albums on here, but I have yet to check them out though. | Jom
12.21.09 | Dave and Mike had it in there, too, I believe. Solid records that I listen to consistently throughout the year, even if they're not the best in an artist's discography, will tend to find a place on my list. | cirq
12.21.09 | decent list. would have expected fun. and raekwon | klap
12.21.09 | nice list jomster. when're the features coming out? | Yotimi
12.21.09 | Good to see 22. | PanasonicYouth
12.21.09 | no epic wall of text =( | Jom
12.21.09 | We decided against individual features like we did last year for a number of reasons (staffers are away on holiday, frustrations with the editor, time constraints, etc.) so we're just going to do our collaborative staff feature, the Users' Top 100 feature, and then a few of us are going to do genre-specific or 2010-themed features over the next couple of weeks. It'll be a good time.
In terms of when they'll be published, I'm not 100% sure because of the Christmas holiday looming. My guess is that the staff feature will precede the User feature, and both will be published between the 26th and New Year's Day. What's been nice about this year is that we've taken on a more collaborative perspective (e.g. Greer tabulated the results using a program while Dave and I will be helping with editing and aesthetics, etc.). | greg84
12.21.09 | Wow. 22 and 5 have literally ripped my face this year, along with The paper Chase album. Also, major props for 24, 23 & 2. | klap
12.21.09 | excellent, i'm pumped | bloc
12.21.09 | Jom bomb | Gyromania
12.21.09 | Really good list, Jom. Glad to see 7, 11, 14, and 16 on here. | Iluvatar
12.21.09 | are we the only people who liked Therapy? this much. lame. | PuddlesPuddles
12.21.09 | Definitely one of the best 2009 lists Ive seen
Probably because it contains Therapy? | redskyformiles
12.21.09 | HAHAHAHAHA 25 has the same cover as EITS - The Rescue | Romulus
12.21.09 | Yeah, nice to see Crooked Timber on here | tombits
12.21.09 | Nice to see 2 that high. | AggravatedYeti
12.21.09 | seasons greetings & I kinda miss being knocked into a coma by force of sheer word count. enjoy the holidays & stay safe Jomster. | AliW1993
12.21.09 | i really need to check out 22 i enjoyed their first | Jom
12.21.09 | Yeah, I don't know why Therapy? goes relatively unnoticed around the site, especially with their changes in sound on their new record. | Ire
12.21.09 | This is probably the best top 25 list for today, its just missing Florence, bro. |
