Top 15 Of 09 So Far

so far, my top 15 of 2009. not in any order.
1Coalesce
Ox


comebacks are awesome, aren't they? When a comeback is as awesome as this they sure are.
2Dream Theater
Black Clouds and Silver Linings


Dream Theater prove that they can actually write a song.
3Isis
Wavering Radiant


Isis are so consistent. Every album they put out is nothing short of top quality.
4Mono
Hymn to the Immortal Wind


This was the first post-rock album I have ever heard, and it was totally worth it.
5P.O.S.
Never Better


Some of the lyrics this guy spits are absolutely mindblowing. best hip-hop album of 09.
6Silversun Pickups
Swoon


Mixing indie with Alt. with grunge? Why haven't I heard these guys before last week?
7Suffocation
Blood Oath


They still slay people. Excellent album.
8Spires
Flowers and Fireworks


Excellent debut album from the only screamo band of 2009 (so far).
9Animal Collective
Merriweather Post Pavilion


just started listening to these guys. very challenging. but amazing nonetheless.
10Anaal Nathrakh
In the Constellation of the Black Widow


total mindfucking brilliance. absolutely brutal, extreme, uncompromising metal with strange layers of atmospheric, melodic brilliance. Metal album of '09 so far, and easily Anaal Nathrakh's best album.
11Agoraphobic Nosebleed
Agorapocalypse


sooooo satisfying when you're angry. This is the only AN album I can stand, due to the amount of songs.
12Heaven and Hell
The Devil you Know


Dio proves once again why he kicks Ozzy's old, wrinkly, arthritic ass.
13mastodon
Crack the Skye


The Last Baron is sickeningly good.
14Gnostic
Engineering the Rule


Completely surprising. I thought this would be a sucky, more hardcore Atheist. In a way it is, but in ways it isn't.
15The Decemberists
The Hazards of Love


The decemberists take their indie/folk sound and add elements of prog, alt, and even metal to make one of the most surprisingly diverse, powerful, and emotional albums of 2009. best indie album of 09.
