[Feenucks]

AFI - Crash Love

[abcdefghijake]

...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of The Dead- The Century of Self

No doubt the best album out this year so far for me.

[chipdip18]

daisy isn't even out yet!

daisy isn't even out yet!

A few of those aren't. I commented on that too, but read more closely, and:

Yeah, I was confused about that too for a while. I'm even more surprised that nobody has said anything about New Again making the list.

this.

release of the year so far.

also Patients- s/t (the guy behind electric president and radical face) i really enjoy

minus the bear's new album i'm super pysched for also, as well as frightened rabbit's 3rd effort. looking forward to aim + ignite (once it's out...) should be good.

[lesterCorp.]

Yeah, I was confused about that too for a while. I'm even more surprised that nobody has said anything about New Again making the list.

oh yeah, you've put a few bad albums on there but it's to personal taste surely? otherwise i'd be saying "U2!? You're fucking high!"

If that's your favorite release of the year so far, you obviously haven't heard A Mouth Full of Dust yet. Check it out. Highly recommended if you like anything by mewithoutYou.

[kianacarly]

I wasn't complaining about it, and I did read that the OP said it was his personal preference and to add to the list as you see fit. I've never listened to New Again because I have no desire to. I'm just surprised that nobody flipped out when they saw New Again because it's usually instantly attacked when it's merely brought up.

yeah i ain't heard it either but im sure if this thread gets read enough, there'll be some animosity towards the choice, tis the way of a site full of opinionated music snobs (i of course include myself in that)

[myplanforescape]

The Catalyst - Swallow Your Teeth

[arson]

I've heard a lot of music so far this year and currently my top three favorites are:

1) The Horrors - Primary Colours
2) Matt & Kim - Grand
3) Thursday - Common Existence

[Troggy]

...but has anyone heard anything really good?

[briewer]

This year has been pretty shitty. The only albums I really liked were Bitte Orca, The Ecstatic, and Bromst. I'm looking forward to Wind's Poem, Till The Casket Drops, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II, and Embryonic, but I don't have much hope for any of them to be good.

[inuewiwedem]

Holding Onto Hope - Of The Sea

Best album of 09 so far.

If you haven't heard this band, you will soon.

[Feenucks]

AFI is still around?

Haha! Yeah, it's easy to forget about them since they take forever to release their albums...

[DejaNew]

Lots of those aren't even out yet.

[Thomas Nassiff]

thank you all

[Thomas Nassiff]

AFI - Crash Love

...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of The Dead- The Century of Self

thank you everyone who made a suggestion, ill add them tomorrow morning

it says slated to come out later this year as well....please read first post.

man, i dont know what music you listen to at all, but ive never heard of any of those albums and on the other hand there's been a lot of cds released of music that i like.

weird.

[thespearkid]

Dirty Projectors - Bitte Orca

Album of the fucking year. I also dug Discovery - LP, The Dead Weather - Horehound, Wheat - Black Ink White Ink, St. Vincent - Actor. That's all I can think of right now.

[DejaNew]

thank you everyone who made a suggestion, ill add them tomorrow morning



it says slated to come out later this year as well....please read first post.
Ah, alrighty. Didn't take the time to read it. My bad.

i didnt put New Again or No Line on the Horizon there because i liked either album. i think that those are the two worst albums by each respective band. i put them there because both were major releases that came out this year. that way when people read it the list can appeal to more readers and it hits really all the major releases.

[Thomas Nassiff]

Ah, alrighty. Didn't take the time to read it. My bad.

ha, its cool.

[Thomas Nassiff]

if i didnt quote you, its not because im ignoring you. by noon tomorrow all suggestions will be added to the list.

so feel free to keep posting

[phil19]

I've barely heard anything this year, well not much I like.

great avatar!

[DejaNew]

Really neat idea btw, then I don't have to search through 80 pages of shit to find a few new releases. If you could find the release dates too, that would be incredible. A lot of work though.

[Thomas Nassiff]

Bradley Hathaway - A Mouth Full of Dust

Sleeping Giant - Sons of Thunder

These are just a few that come to mind off the top of my head.

i was thinking about alphabetizing it. if i have the time then i definitely will, tomorrow when im adding all these new albums

[Thomas Nassiff]

Really neat idea btw, then I don't have to search through 80 pages of shit to find a few new releases. If you could find the release dates too, that would be incredible. A lot of work though.

yeah, thats exactly why im doing it.

i think this is what ill do....ill add all these tomorrow and ill keep doing that until the amount of albums suggested slows down. then eventually ill alphabetize them and even later on ill add the release dates.

itll all get done before august 14th or so i imagine, im moving up to college then and so ill be too busy to spend a lot of time on anything like this.

[Losing Streak]

New Found Glory - Not Without a Fight

This was a hugely pleasant surprise for me.

[DejaNew]

Alrighty, maybe somebody else can take it over after, and start a new thread. I can, if need be.

[Thomas Nassiff]

This was a hugely pleasant surprise for me.

lol, what do you mean?!

surprised that the cd was good or surprised that it was on this list?

i wouldnt have been surprised by either...lol

[Thomas Nassiff]

Alrighty, maybe somebody else can take it over after, and start a new thread. I can, if need be.

yeah maybe, then again maybe ill be able to keep it going. im sure that every day wont have as many suggestions as today and by next friday it should have really slowed down, im hoping the thread will just turn into talking about the albums or an aoty discussion war place

and speaking of, i have no idea what my aoty is yet..

[Losing Streak]

lol, what do you mean?!

surprised that the cd was good or surprised that it was on this list?

i wouldnt have been surprised by either...lol

Surprised at what a good album it was. Not knocking on NFG, but I've had so many older bands put out disappointing albums for a while. That's starting to change though. H2O did the same thing, put out a badass album even though they're old farts.

lmao! i hear you there. im lucky, because springsteen is my favorite and his new stuff still rocks.

thank you guys. im gonna start updating the first post now, but im at work so it might take some time.

now how is everyone this fine morning?

[Thomas Nassiff]

okay, just finished updating the first post. it took a lot less time than i thought it would. it has all the suggestions now, everyone make sure you read through that list and dont re-post any cds that are on there! im gonna see if i can alphabetize the list on microsoft excel, i think that might work..

EDIT: yeah the excel thing worked, hooray for automatic ABC-ing

[bard]

you might as well just went to some major release chart because there are so many people on here with so many, mainly bad, tastes in music that the majority of albums released this year will be listed anyways...

if you can find a link to a website that lists major releases with all the relatively unkown bands that are lsited on here, then please post it. because i dont think it exists.

[Thomas Nassiff]

why is my avatar so small even when i keep making the picture bigger. poop.

here's most of them:

here's most of them:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_albums_released_in_2009

you were critizing my list because it was going to have to many releases and some of them will be bad and itll just end up being a list of most of the albums that came out this year.

.....then you showed me that.

[mar_]

Yeah, I was confused about that too for a while. I'm even more surprised that nobody has said anything about New Again making the list.

I noticed that, and it seems like a lot of people don't like it. But if you don't really compare it to some of the older ones, it's not that bad. It's just a bit different for them. Maybe it's me, but it seems almost more accessible.

[actionpat]

Yeah, I was confused about that too for a while. I'm even more surprised that nobody has said anything about New Again making the list.

is it worth anything? i decided that louder now was where my enjoyment of this band came to an end...probably a little late. i heard one of the singles from new again and wasnt feeling it and i didnt want to ruin this band forever for me. i wonder what their concerts are like these days. anyway i digress.

passion pit and manchester ftw.

[dmobley]

Lydia's "Illuminate" was released in March of 2008.

Also, how about Anchor and Braille - "Felt"

No mention of Ace Enders and a Million Different People, This Providence, or Emery. Granted not the best releases by any of them, but still pretty solid albums.

Third Eye Blind- Ursa Major

[Thomas Nassiff]

I noticed that, and it seems like a lot of people don't like it. But if you don't really compare it to some of the older ones, it's not that bad. It's just a bit different for them. Maybe it's me, but it seems almost more accessible.

its just not their own quality music. fred was clearly more a part of the songwriting than they let on. i was so disappointed with the album. it hasnt got any lasting quality at all.

I'm not disagreeing. Because of my age Where You Want To Be is actually what I heard in its entirety first, and it's still my favorite. It was something I just randomly picked up one day for no reason other than it was on sale and I'd liked You're So Last Summer and Timberwolves at New Jersey.

yeah, i mean you and i are the same age. but i happen to think louder now is a better album, although where you want to be is also incredible

I kind of failed to notice the age thing initially. I was referring more in reference to Tell All Your Friends, which came out when we were what, 11? But I know I bought Where You Want To Be right after my 13th birthday, and I remember buying it and listening to it at the same time as CDs that it had absolutely nothing in common with, and I guess that's why it stuck with me. And it might be something in the whole you sort of fall in love with the first thing you hear by a band that you really like, and I guess that's sort of what it was. And I never really gave Louder Now a chance, so I can't really have an opinion on that. So I may have to give it another listen in its entirety.

i know what you mean. and you should try to listen to it again, its my favorite TBS for sure. and yeah, i didnt even get into TBS at that age, i probably heard where you want to be when i was 15

[Thomas Nassiff]

sometimes its tougher than others. cuz that album was something that some people really liked but most people hated...

[pblest]

last lights was a hardcore band, think refused, thursday, and modern life is war. NPNPNF is their discography, their singer died after wrapping the mic around his neck and cutting off blood to his brain somewhere during a show late last year. incredibly sad.

Yeah, here's an age breakdown of fans' reactions to Punk Goes Pop 2:

1 day- 16 years old: "OMGZ! Alesana is god!" or "Craig Owens could record himself shaving his pubes and I'd listen to it!"
17 years old- 21 years old: "DUDE ADTR made the Fray look hardcore! Let's put on our bandanas and bro down!"
22 years old- onward: "How is this anywhere near passable music?"

lmao! fairly accurate. ADTR is really the only song i liked off the album. i actually lol'ed at the alesana thing.

and im a fan of chiodos. im hardly a craig owens fanboy but i defended him when there was all that shit going on about his EP title. i just respect the things he does, even though lately he's been letting me down. a new chiodos record should solve it

yeah, completely accidental. he was fine for like two hours and then he fainted and was rushed to the hospital later on in the show.

[Thomas Nassiff]

I'm listening to it now. I'm only halfway through though. And I think I first heard Louder Now last year when I found out my friend had the CD. I'd just never bothered to pick up a copy for some reason.
And I apologize for being completely off topic in your thread.

im sorry that youre such a mad, angry person.

this thread serves a purpose and provides for good discussion. i didnt make it so i could get into arguments. so just be an okay guy and dont post here if you dont like it.

what is it with people, man?

[Thomas Nassiff]

good morning, thread, you're looking wonderful.

i saw green day last night. if their tour is coming near you in the future, go. its worth the rediculous 60 dollar ticket and then some.

i think that green day's album is going to end up being aoty for me, i love it.

Definitely worth the ridiculous priced tickets, because they put on one terrific show.

And 21st Century Breakdown is a great album to spend 70 consecutive minutes listening to. Though I feel like parts of it sound like they came straight from older Green Day songs.

thats because they do! its a concept album, you know that. and its supposed to be like the end of the world, and christian and gloria are looking back on the past. thats why songs in the latter part of the album have references to songs at the beginning of the album as well as old green day songs, because they are in the past.

I got the references within the album. But I guess I missed the purpose of the older references. Thanks.

I have to say I didn't especially like 21st Century, think the best bit is that it's produced by Butch Vig :)

no problem! i love the entire thing, its a great story. i still think american idiot is their best but this is a great follow-up. i didnt think they could do it twice and they proved everyone wrong.

how much did you listen to it? i have to admit that the first time i heard it i wasnt that impressed, i was like, theres 4 or 5 good ones on here....but now i love every song on that album.
