im still hoping that Midnight Juggernaughts and the Klaxons will release their new albums this year because if they do they will definitely be two of the best of the year.

2009 was/is an absolutely great year for music. I could do a top 50 of albums that are all more than worthwhile to listen to. I'll confine myself to ten here though:
1. Ga'an - Ga'an 2. Kreng - L’autopsie phénoménale de Dieu 3. Shogun Kunitoki - Vinonaamakasio 4. Klotzsch & Krey - Through All These Years of Trying to Belong 5. Big Blood - Already Gone II 6. William Basinski - 92982 7. Jacek Sienkiewicz - Modern Dance 8. I.U.D. - The Proper Sex 9. The XX - XX 10. Tim Hecker - An Imaginary Country

For the album of the year, I am split between Chickenfoot's self-titled debut, Queensryche's American Soldier, The Trans-Siberian Orchestra's Night Castle, Megadeth's Endgame and The Protomen's Act II.
Chickenfoot is easily one of the best hard rock albums I've ever heard and these guys are easily up there with the hard rock legends. Granted, they are technically a superband (formed by ex-Van Halen members Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony, Red Hot Chili Peppers' Chad Smith and guitar legend Joe Satriani), but for a debut album, they couldn't have done any better. American Soldier is a deep concept album that outlines the struggles of American soldiers. I'm not talking about the struggles of war, but rather the things most people don't think of when they think of the military, their families, friends and comrades. All of the songs are based on testimonials of actual war veterans, including Geoff Tate's own father. Night Castle was five years well spent by the TSO's composers. Unlike three of their other four albums, Night Castle is not a holiday album, but it definitely has the same kind of epic songs one would expect from their other albums. The orchestrations are brilliant and the performances by the orchestra's members are astounding. Endgame is arguably Megadeth's best album since 1991's Rust In Peace. Musically, it ranges from the hard thrash of the early albums such as those found on Peace Sells... But Who's Buying? to the speed of Rust In Peace to the melodic vocals found on The System Has Failed and United Abominations. The way Dave blends all of what Megadeth is into this one album has made Endgame my favorite Megadeth album. Act II: The Father of Death continues to show why bands such as The Protomen get far less attention than they deserve. Never mind the loyal fanbase, never mind the unique style, never mind the fact that these guys could be and probably would be if a record company gave them a chance. Where Act I took the nearly non-existent storyline of Megaman and ran with it, Act II takes the generic dystopia of Act I, gives it life and runs further with it. I can only imagine how Act III will turn out. I just hope I don't have to wait another four years for it. However, I am not divided on what my most disappointing album of the year is: 3 Inches of Blood's Here Awaits Thy Doom. If my doom awaits there, then I'm not too worried. I was expecting a hard-hitting, fast-paced epic metal beat down similar to what I got from their 2007 release, Fire Up The Blades. Instead, I got a soft, slow, boring marshmellow thrown at my chest. Something is missing here, whether it is more of the lack of Jamie Hooper (on hiatus due to vocal injury) or the lack of cheap bear, bongs and black metal in the process of writing the thing isn't up for debate as no matter how you look at it, this thing is a massive disappointment. |
