IMHO it was. It was one of those that I listened to a bunch to write the review, and haven't even thought of since I turned the review in. It was pretty rough.

The Decemberists album isn't "bad" compared to the music spilling on the airwaves, but compared to other indie stuff and especially what they've accomplaished before, it's a low feat.

I haven't listened to a lot of stuff, like the Phoenix, the YACHT album, Veckatimest, and Dragonslayer, but here's the albums that more likely than not will end up on my list.
The Field - Yesterday and Today Royksopp - Junior St. Vincent - Actor The Dream - Love vs. Money Animal Collective - MWPP Dirty Projectors - Bitte Orca Jenny Wilson - Hardships
Also, there's a ton of shit that hasn't come out yet like the Annie album, the Aeroplane album, the Mariah Carey album, the LCD Soundsystem album (hopefully out before the end of 09), and the Joanna Newsom album that I pray will be announced the next day every night before I go to sleep. It would be really great if my favorite album of 2009 was some absolutely surprise shit that hasn't been anticipated to death. |

Good call on Bat for Lashes. Also, I want y'all to know that Bromst is $5 on Amazon until the end of June, if you're lookin to buy. (Do a brother a favor and buy from my link, if you do buy.) :)

In no particular order...
Woods - Songs of Shame The Field - Yesterday and Today Micachu & the Shapes - Jewellery Sunn O))) - Monoliths & Dimensions The Horrors - Primary Colours Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavillion Super Furry Animals - Dark Days/Light Years Bat For Lashes - Two Suns Antony and the Johnsons - The Crying Light Hell - Teufelswerk
I'm disappointed by the Grizzly Bear and Dirty Projectors albums so far. I need to play them a bit more, but they sound kinda bland compared to past triumphs. The Black Moth and Sonic Youth albums both sound too similar to their other stuff to really make much of an impression. Also, I really haven't heard much great hip-hop or electronic music this year. Anyone got any recommendations? |
