BEST
1. Devin Townsend - Ki <easily
2. Jesu - Infinity
3. Sepultura - A-Lex
4. Raekwon - Only Built For Cuban Linx 2

i cant think of other albums that were released this year but i know theres plenty

WORST
1. Muse - The Resistance <just very dissapointingly average
2. U2 - No Line On The Horizon <i just really hate them

Dude, it's only September.

yep... hence the "i thought id get this started early" as the majority of the year has passed.GET LISTING YOU MOTHER FUCKER!

"Early" is a light way of putting it. If this thread were a thanksgiving turkey, we'd all have salmonella.

well some of us are vegetarian

Forget the negative naysayers, dude, some amazing albums have come out this year and it's a worthy thread. AND I'm a vego too!

In fact, I don't even know where to start!

PT: The Incident
Devin: Ki
Karnivool: Sound Awake
Jen Cloher: Hidden Hands
Exivious
DT: Black Clouds...
Empyrean: Quietus
OSI: Blood
Derek Sherinian: Molecular Heinosity
Deadlock: Manifesto
Cradle of Filth: Godspeed...

Still to come: Alice in Chains, Dead Letter Circus, Addicted?

Damn, it's gunna be hard to pick a top 10 this year!

Best in 2009 so far, in my humble opinion are...

1. Devin Townsend "Ki"
2. Megadeth "Endgame"
3. Sepultura "A-Lex"
4. Born of Osiris "An Ascent"
5. Disharmonia Mundi "Nebularium"

The list can change. Still long way to December.

No order really... Just a few that immediately sprung to mind.

Dev - Ki
Final - Reading all the Right Signals Wrong
Final - Guitar & Bass Improvisations 3 / Infinite Guitar 3
Animals as Leaders - Animals as Leaders
Mastodon - Crack the Skye
Cloudkicker - The Map is not the Territory
Cloudkicker - Portmanteau

As for worst. I dunno. I've gotten lazy in terms of reaching out to music in the last while. I just read around every now and again, see what sounds like summat I'd like, YouTube it, etc etc. So every album I've got this year has been one I know I'll like.

It's early (in the year and in the morning). First thoughts--I'll come back later...

Best:
1. DTP - Ki
2. Mastodon - Crack the Skye

Worst:
1. Dream Theater - Black Clouds and Silver Linings

1. Alestorm - Black Sails at Midnight
(incredible catchy-ness beats Ki, but Devin is preparing a huge counterattack )

2. The Devin Townsend Project - Ki

3. Dream Theater - Black Clouds & Silver Linings
I didn't expect this to be this addicting! Some parts are really silly, but other parts are fantastic.

4. Sonata Arctica - The Days of Grays
(might swap with #3)

5. Darm Moor - Autumnal

The Born of Osiris album is A Higher Place and it's definitely a good one!

I need to get some Karnivool, stuff they have on myspace is sweet. Which also reminds me I still have massive Cog records shortage.

I wont post any list here, I don't listen to that many musics. I'm taking notes what to listen tho

Best:

Dev - Ki
Anaal Nathrakh - In the Constellation...
Muse - The Resistance (yup, I love it)
Napalm Death - Time waits for now slave
Mastodon - Crack the Skye
Wolves in the Throne room - black Cascade
Clutch - Strange cousins from the west
Isis - Wavering Radiant

Disappointments:

Riverside - ADHD (it just bores me, can't help but it does)
Hacride - Lazarus (bores me too. I don't see where this is special by any means)
Pure Reason Revolution - Amor Vincit Omnia (just terrible. What were they thinking?)
Behemoth - Evangelion (no, I'm not saying it's bad. It's good..but not more than that. It's certainly not the milestone that Nergal promissed either. I had high expectations for this and yes, it is brutal and whatever but there is hardly anything memorable on this CD, alas...and that is coming from a huge Behemoth fan)

I'm sure there will be more good and not so good ones over the next few months!

I agree with the Behemoth. It's no Demigod by any means.

But I love the new Hacride, tis groovy as fuck and has their signature sound all over it.
