| Top Ten Of 2009 As Of 6/22
2nd half of 09 gonna be > 1st half otherwise an excellent year for music lovers. hope you enjoy the list | | 1 |  | Animal Collective
Merriweather Post Pavilion
Absolutely breathtaking, far and away the best of 09 so far. Feels like a landmark album.
Best Tracks: "My Girls", "Summertime Clothes", "Daily Routine", "Lion In A Coma", ahhhh pretty much the entire album. | | 2 |  | Silversun Pickups
Swoon
Might not sound like it at first, but actually quite a leap from their debut in terms of songwriting and overall punch. Looking forward to their next one big time.
Best tracks: "Growing Old Is Getting Old", "Panic Switch", "Substitution" | | 3 |  | Grizzly Bear
Veckatimest
In a year where Animal Collective destroy everything, there's not much room for this little indie gem.
Best tracks: "Two Weeks", "Ready Able", "While You Wait For The Others" | | 4 |  | Japandroids
Post-Nothing
This album is incredible. The amount of sound these two guys can create is a marvel, overall just a really fun and high energy album.
Best Tracks: "Young Hearts Spark Fire", "Heart Sweats", "I Quit Girls", "Wet Hair" | | 5 |  | As Cities Burn
Hell Or High Water
Much better than Come Now Sleep, sleeker songwriting and "Into The Sea" is probably one of their strongest tracks.
Best Tracks: "Made Too Pretty", "Lady Blue, "Into The Sea", "Pirate Blues" | | 6 |  | Mono
Hymn To The Immortal Wind
Mono name this album perfectly, as it's just a magic carpet ride through the clouds the whole way through. Some of the best post-rock in a while.
Best Tracks: "Ashes In The Snow", "Burial At Sea", "Everlasting Light" | | 7 |  | maudlin of the Well
Part The Second
Awesome, awesome album. You can really hear the band maturing even more.
Best tracks: "Excerpt from 6,000,000,000,000 Miles Before the First, or, the Revisitation of the Blue Ghost", "Rose Quartz Turning To Glass" | | 8 |  | Taking Back Sunday
New Again
Great driving record, just put it on and go. The guitarist change didn't seem to effect them, may have even made them better.
Best Tracks: "Sink Into me", "Cut Me Up Jenny", "Everything Must Go", "Capital M-E" | | 9 |  | The Decemberists
The Hazards Of Love
About as good as The Crane Wife, just another solid output
Best tracks: "The Wanting Comes In Waves", "The Queen's Rebuke", "A Bower Scene" | | 10 |  | Patrick Wolf
The Bachelor
Fantastic album from start to finish, didnt know where to rank it so it goes at 10 lol.
Best tracks: "Oblivion", "Vulture", "The Sun Is Often Out" | |

06.22.09 | 1 and 5 are average. I've been meaning to give the new Silversun Pickups a listen, though I didn't like their last one. 3,4,6,7,9 are all on my list so good list overall. | CompanionCube
06.22.09 | 9 is pretty boring tbh | lauriej
06.22.09 | 1, 6 and 7 ruuuule | Metalstyles
06.22.09 | you are new here so i am not going to give you shit about this list, but it just makes me wonder when will anyone make a interesting 2009 list | Metalstyles
06.22.09 | yaah I have nothing against these albums, especially regarding that i have not heard any of them but if to exclude 8 and 10 then all the others are also on everyone elses top 10 of 2009's first half lists, and because of that the 2009 lists have really sucked in my eyes, regarding that there is a new 2009 list almost every day | myhigherpie
06.22.09 | digging 6 and 9. | NovaSilver
06.22.09 | Pretty good list, I might download a couple of these and let them sink in a little more because I've only really given 5 a lot of my time (well spent time). As for the lists, admittedly most revolve around similar indie or metal bands at the moment but you can't really criticise 'best of the year' lists for looking similar unless you have a go at the whole concept behind them. The best music is likely to be everyone's favourite. | robertsona
06.22.09 | 1 owns and 3 is boring and has three good songs and the rest are zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz | ZiBug
06.22.09 | I really liked 5 and 8 but not 1. | ScorpionStan
06.22.09 | good list, but Hell or High Water isn't "much better" than Come Now Sleep. CNS is awesome. | thebhoy
06.22.09 | metalstyles, that was the dumbest thing ever. A lot of these are some of the best albums to come out this year, hence why they are on a lot of best of lists.
Grizzly Bear are boring if you have a hard time paying attention to stuff. | Chewie
06.22.09 | this is a really great list, and ya, these albums pop up on a lot of lists for a reason twats. Calling these albums uninteresting because they're well known is retarded logic. I've heard 1 and 6 and they're sexy | roofi
06.22.09 | good stuff but come now sleep is far superior to 5 | Metalstyles
06.22.09 | @ thebhoy
you seem to miss my point, i already told that I have nothing against these albums, my only concern is that I would like to see a original "best of 2009's first half" list, rather than 15 lists with the same bands on them
@ Derek
you not following all the comments and then talking about retarded logic is actually pretty retarded on your part so stfu | thebhoy
06.23.09 | no, I knew what your point was, I'm just saying I think your point is stupid. | Electric City
06.23.09 | these lists need more hospice | AggravatedYeti
06.23.09 | ^^ his point is stupid
don't worry, you're right (kinda) | atrink
06.24.09 | 5 is good but i don't think it should be on this list. | Ewednesday
10.14.09 | I Love 8, never got 1, and will listen to the rest when spotify decides it wants to work. |
