Anybody been working on their top albums list yet...

You liked that Stryper that much?

I thought it was OK...but it didn't stick too hard for me.

I like Reborn but, aside from 3-4 songs that had an older feel, Murder By Pride left me really disappointed.

[Crimson Idol]

Chinese Democracy
Sonic Boom
Anomaly
Endgame
World Painted Blood
Black Gives Way to Blue

Um yeah.  I have totally missed basically everything else new this year.  Hopefully next year I'll be able to get back to my old metal ways.

I just realized Chinese Democracy came out last year, but whatever.  I listened to it so much this year that it's a 2009 album to me.  

Also, I'm pissed that I still haven't heard the new W.A.S.P.

Don't know what to tell ya...I'm as suprised as you!
Seriously it doesn't get old for me.  That album has gotten way more mileage than anything else I bought this year...
And believe me, I liked older Stryper too.  Never loved them though...

[Pelata]

I broke down and began compiling a list...still a work in progress:


Mastedon/John Elefante - 3/Revolution Of Mind
W.E.T. - W.E.T.
Heaven & Hell - The Devil You Know
Katatonia - Night Is The New Day
Gotthard - Need To Believe
Dream Theater - Black Clouds...
Primal Fear - 16:6

I feel the exact opposite. I found "Reborn" to modern for my tastes, but "Murder by Pride" has been my biggest surprise of the year 

[Pelata]

what no Jorn??? 

It's most likely going to change a little...but Jorn won't make it.

[Stefan, ein windir]

I totally forgot about Crystal Viper until today!

AHAB - The Divinity of Oceans is my number one album this year, the rest I'm still trying to get in order.

I'd like to hear that Crystal Viper.  I'd planned on getting it way back in the spring but couldn't find it.  Maybe some day but not before year's end.

The Ahab is in the same position except I will own that guaranteed.  Doom death is one of my favorite genres.

[Pelata]

OK, no changes now...took a lot of filtering and stuff came on and fell off...but here's what I'm left with:


My favorite 2009 releases (in no order):
Katatonia - Night Is The New Day
U2 - No Line On The Horizon
Redemption - Snowfall On Judgement Day
Gazpacho - Tick Tock
OSI - Blood
Long Distance Calling - Avoid The Light
Mastedon/John Elefante - 3/Revolution Of Mind
Muse - The Resistance
Paradise Lost - Faith Divides Us...
Amorphis - Skyforger

Other really good albums:
Dream Theater - Black Clouds...
W.E.T. - W.E.T.
Isis - Wavering Radiant
Heaven & Hell - The Devil You Know
Candlemass - Death Magic Doom
Mastodon - Crack The Skye
Megadeth - Endgame

Disappointments:
Alice In Chains - Black Gives Way To Blue
W.A.S.P. - Babylon
Chickenfoot - Chickenfoot
Queensryche - American Soldier

Still haven't heard but want to:
Porcupine Tree - The Incident
Mars Volta - Octahedron
Ghost Brigade-Isolation Songs
While Heaven Wept - Vast Oceans Lachrymose
The Gathering - The West Pole
The Butterfly Effect - Final Conversations
Anubis Gate - The Detached
Novembers Doom - Into Nights Requim Infernal
Transatlantic - The Whirlwind

[Venom]

It's most likely going to change a little...but Jorn won't make it.
