| Best Albums Of 2009
Here Are My Top 10 Albums of 2009. Hope you agree. Please comment. | | 1 |  | Alice In Chains
Black Gives Way To Blue
Its an album nobody thought would ever happen, and if it did, no-one would have thought it would be this kind of masterpiece. From the ferocious and unsettling Looking In View, and the poppy Check my Brain, to acoustic Your Decision and Black Gives Way To Blue, this is AIC at their very best. Stanley is dead. Long Live Alice in Chains. | | 2 |  | Pearl Jam
Backspacer
Backspacer is probably the closest pearl jam have come to returning to their epic debut Ten. When it gets going it develops into something strange, beautiful..and rather special. | | 3 |  | Rammstein
Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da
This is the most complete album the Geramns have ever made. Their mad and mighty vision perfectley fullfilled. Its heroically exessive slabs of metal countered by skillfully placed light and shade. | | 4 |  | Dream Theater
Black Clouds And Silver Linings
The prog metal lords are back with one of the most inventive and heavy albums in their catalouge, if you want an album with hairpin turns and twists, Black... will confuse the hell out of your prog-rock sat-nav. | | 5 |  | Biffy Clyro
Only Revolutions
Biffy Clyro have stuck to their guns with 'Only Revolutions', and its paid of. The addition of the 100 piece orchestra adds more to the album and BC turn out with another great album. | | 6 |  | Mastodon
Crack The Skye
If you need reassurance that their are bands that go beyond coocie-cutter metal and tired retro retreads, and who make hard rock as they intended listen to, then listen to Crack... a heavy metal masterpiece. | | 7 | | The Blackout
Best In Town
Even after one listen it is clear that The Best In Town is a more defined and rounded effort than their debut album. | | 8 |  | Slayer
World Painted Blood
The Reigning lords of metal deliver another slab of furious metal. did you expect anyting else? Of course not. | | 9 |  | Converge
Axe To Fall
Axe To Fall gives us a classic Converge album, but with a few well recieved differences. | | 10 |  | Muse
The Resistance
Confirming that they have evolved into a post millenial Queen, albeit with a touch less camp and a lot more swivel eyed craziness, The Resistiamce is an extravagant and bold record. | | 11 | | Alexisonfire
Old Crows/Young Cardinals
Alexisonfire make their best record to date with Old Crows/Young Cardinals. | | 12 | | Gallows
Grey Britian
The boys from Watford deliver an album with crushing guitar riffs, killer bass lines and political lyrics, Grey Britian expreiments with metal folk and classical. | | 13 |  | Lamb Of God
Wrath
Lamb Of God dont experiment or veer of the path on 'Wrath', which is a good thing. The Virginia metal band get back to brain battering basics on an album that crackles with metallic intensity. | | 14 |  | LeatherMouth
XO
When it was announced that My Chemical Romance's Guitarist Frank Iero would be making a side-project called'Leathermouth', no-one was expecting it to be as aggressive and dark as XO. Recorded in various basements arond America, XO is aggressive, dark, and heavy. | | 15 |  | Porcupine Tree
The Incident
On the face of it this is a typically reassuring PT album, but dip beneath the surface and 'The Incident' is an unnerving masterpiece. Its forlorn...but undeniably brilliant. | |

01.02.10 | Yes, finally a list with Slayer. This album is great. Too bad some trend-makers got on its back early on. | TheWarning
01.02.10 | Thanks. it took me a while to come up with this list. Glad you enjoy it. | ART36
01.02.10 | Good call with 7. I saw a few minutes of their set @ warped tour. They were pretty good, but unfortunately there were only a dozen or so people actually watching them perform. | bungy
01.02.10 | Stanley is dead | Knott-
01.02.10 | 7 are plagiarist cunts.
11 wtf does that descr even mean?!
list is, imho, shit | PuerkitoBio
01.03.10 | Well, seeing as 1, 6 and 9 are among pretty much every "best metal" list of 2009 out there, I can't see how this list is shit. I'm no fan of either of these bands, this is just an objective observation. | Knott-
01.03.10 | i based my assertion on the fact that the albums ive heard from here are 2 5 7 9 10 11 and 15 and none of them are good enough to make a top 15 list in my opinion | Comatorium.
01.03.10 | List has a few missteps, namely 4, 10, 8, and 14, but you're new, you'll learn soon enough. | PuerkitoBio
01.03.10 | ^^ Yeah, what he said, get in the ranks... Everybody thinks the same here, so forget about your own opinions. | austin888
08.15.10 | 6 should be 1. | hobblepot
10.02.16 | "List has a few missteps, namely 4, 10, 8, and 14, but you're new, you'll learn soon enough."
Yes of course his taste is going to be drastically changed by the music police here at Sputnik, jeeeeeeez
Side note 14 is awesome |
