Scarface187 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Figured I'd refrain from posting two topics and just combine the two. First, list your top 10 albums of this year,then give your honorable mentions as well as your biggest disappointment of the year. Then share what you think were the best albums of the decade. 1. HORSE the Band - Desperate Living 2. Between the Buried and Me - The Great Misdirect 3. Kylesa - Static Tensions 4. Mastodon - Crack the Skye 5. Clutch - Strange Cousins From The West 6. Converge - Axe to Fall 7. Big Business - Mind the Drift 8. The Mars Volta - Octahedron 9. Baroness - Blue Album 10. GWAR - Lust in Space Honorable mentions: A lot to come. I just need to remember what came out in 09 and not 08, haha. Biggest disappoint: Porcupine Tree - The Incident. It just bummed the hell out of me. There were a lot of great parts but overall it drags a lot and gets kinda boring, but that's just me. Now for albums of the dacade (this ones gonna have a lot of edits): (in no real order) Iron Maiden - Brave New World Converge - Jane Doe Mastodon - Leviathan Coheed and Cambria - In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 Coheed and Cambria - Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV Volume I: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness Porcupine Tree - Lightbulb Sun Porcupine Tree - In Absentia Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet Opeth - Blackwater Park Melvins - Nude With Boots Melvins - (A) Senile Animal Big Business - Here Come the Waterworks Municipal Waste - Hazardous Mutation Melt Banana - Cell-Scape Sleep - Dopesmoker Clutch - Blast Tyrant The Killers - Hot Fuss Baroness - Red Album Between the Buried and Me - Colors Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/435269-top-albums-of-2009-and-the-decade/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhoda Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 (edited) Topping 40 views and no replies. About a third of that is me, I've come into this topic and left again so many times today it's making my head spin. It's hard enough choosing my favourites, and harder still to remember what year they were even released; I too am having a bit of trouble distinguishing between 2008 and 2009 for some reason. Static Tensions (Kylesa) is definitely up there, as is Nude With Boots (The Melvins), but I have a special fondness for Them Crooked Vultures' self-titled album. I may just be biased because I think all three men are fantastic, but there's not a single bad track on there. Also, while it's nowhere near as good as the albums I've previously mentioned, I must say I enjoyed Muse's latest effort, The Resistance, a lot. I'm not a big fan of Muse at all, I don't even like the songs they release, but it was just so easy to get into. Oh, and while I'm name-dropping, Buckethead's first 2009 effort, Slaughterhouse On The Prairie, was one of his best albums yet. I'm a sucker for instrumental work. I've probably missed a damn lot off too. I can't even begin to think of the best albums of the decade... I'll edit this post when I decide. LIST SO FAR: Steve Roach - Afterlight Buckethead - Albino Slug Machine Head - The Blackening Jack Johnson - In Between Dreams Sunn O))) - Monoliths And Dimensions Coheed And Cambria - In Keeping Secrets Of Silent Earth 3 Lightning Bolt - Wonderful Rainbow Edited December 14, 2009 by Masterkraft Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/435269-top-albums-of-2009-and-the-decade/?do=findComment&comment=1059685335 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonshield Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Jesus, I hate threads like these because it really makes me think what I picked up this year and what actually came out this year. The new Wolves in the Throne Room and Sunn O))) definitely delivered. Shrinebuilder was f*cking monumental, but I wish it was a track or two longer. Big Business's album was a big letdown. And like masterkraft, I'm gonna have to edit this after putting a list together.

Tsar_Smirnoff Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 (edited) Can't say I've bought any albums this year(or from this year rather), but here's two of my favorites from the decade as a whole: Songs for the Deaf by Queens of the Stone Age Death Magnetic by Metallica How's the new Pearl Jam album?

epoxi Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Big L - The Big PictureNas - Stillmatic Nothing I can't think of that isn't in your list, but these two have to be my favourites. It never really occurred to me that Big L released it this decade...changes my whole perception of the Hip-Hop timeline. Nas's Got yourself a gun was a true classic.

Cheat Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 2009 had good albums but none was actually perfect. I liked Raekwon's OB4CL2, Clipse's Til The Casket Drops, Jada's The Last Kiss and Hov's BP3 but none (maybe Raekwon) had a perfect one. Decade's best were no doubt Jay-Z's The Blueprint, Nas's God's Son and Stillmatic, Gang Starr's The Ownerz, Kanye's first three - College Dropout, Late Registration and Graduation and a f*ckload of others.

Hey, I really enjoy repeatedly listening to the album so sue me Have you listened to the Remastered version? More specifically the Deceifer Remix? It's got the non brickwalled Guitar Hero III tracks with no audible compression/distortion, they've been adjusted so the bass is much higher and clearer in the mix, and it's got a snare drum sample from The Black Album, so the drums also sound better. I've downloaded it. (it's okay folks, I bought the original) and it sounds f*cking amazing in comparison to the original.
