Your favourite album of 2009

Cymbals Eat Guitars

Why There Are Mountains

1."And the Hazy Sea"
2."Some Trees (Merritt Moon)"
3."Indiana"
4."Cold Spring"
5."Share"
6."What Dogs See"
7."Wind Phoenix (Proper Name)"
8."Living North"
9."Like Blood Does"

The reason this is my favourite album of the year is because of the way these guys squeeze every last drop of emotion out of themselves and inject it into this wonderfully ambitious and assured debut. It's an album full to the brim with imagination and adventure, not satisfied with being shackled to the conventional rock formula, the music swoops and soars; the elastic song structures twist and bend around a slew of hooks and melodies. Above all else though, they sound like they're having a fucking good time playing this music, nearly as much fun as i had listening to it.

Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx Pt II

Overall, this years has been quite disappointing.

Let's not talk about the fact that that album was supposed to have been released almost 5 years ago.

Going to have to agree, but maybe I was spoiled by last year.
