Favorite Summer '09 Album

[superichie]

Out of these, which album released this summer was your favorite?

[CarpeDiem8711]

Where's the love for Rx or Portugal (who arguably released two of best records this year)?

[TotalCollapse]

I would choose Rx Bandits, but that's not an option, so I chose Mute Math. I'm still waiting to get the physical copy of Beggars, but I expect that to be among my favorites.

[Forever.Zero]

Haven't heard the new Thrice yet so TMV

[11:11]

3EB, Thrice, and Mute Math are my choices, but I voted 3EB.

[Machu505]

Write-in vote for Rx Bandits.

[phil19]

the only one ive heard is new again but i wouldnt exactly call it my favourite

[didwhat77times]

Portugal. The Man - The Satanic Satanist

[PenThrive]

fun. - Aim and Ignite

[WhoSaidThat?]

Beggars. Honorable mentions go to TWBTDOU, Ursa Major, S/T Killswitch Engage, Armistice, Octahedron, Nothing Personal, and Explains it All.

[newfoundmichael]

A lot of stuff missing for me...I didn't even love the new SYG, but out of the selection I went with it. Haven't heard the new Thrice though.

fun., manchester orchestra, rx bandits, quite a bit missing but still a fun poll.

[Broden Terry]

I chose Nothing Personal because I haven't listened to Beggars.

[Indoor Living]

Dave Matthews easily for me. I haven't connected that well with a record in a while. This could also be my vote because I'm waiting to buy Thrice.

[Un'Aria Ancora]

Bandits blew all of those away.

[trappedintime]

Chose Set Your Goals, then realized Thrice was last on the list. :hitself:

[neverenoughhaha]

Nothing Personal
I haven't heard a lot of the others, though, so that's a little biased

[Blaise&Panthia.]

Yeah, mine would have been Portugal.

[kdefrisc]

fun. - Aim and Ignite

This. I picked Set Your Goals out of this list, but A & I was really my favorite

[PenThrive]

This. I picked Set Your Goals out of this list, but A & I was really my favorite

Same. Out of this list, I listened to SYG the most.

[kdefrisc]

Same. Out of this list, I listened to SYG the most.

It's so good, I just saw them live and they were fantastic

[threepunchjim]

fun. is definitely my sleeper hit of the summer, but Mutemath by and large takes the cake. Armistice is that good.

[Deadbolt01]

Thrice edges it over TBS.

[bard]

none of them

[jtresk26]

Reach For The Sun- The Dangerous Summer

[riseagainstfan]

ok why isnt Big D and the Kids Table-Fluent in Stroll on there it is pretty much the ultimate summer album

[batmannj]

Thrice, but I loved MM's and ATL is a good summer jam.

[muchoawesomeo]

volta

[mike'smannequin]

thrice hands down

[krista13]

set your goals

[sargentlgfuad]

Set Your Goals, MuteMath, then Thrice. and im trying really hard for TMV to grow on me.

[ManchesterOrch8]

Out of these, I only extensivly listened to New Again. :shrug:

[MADSTA]

I have not heard any of these albums, and am only interested in Mute Math.

[Radiology]

those aren't that great at all...

I'd obviously go with Veckatimest, seeing as it's one of the best albums of the past 10 years...

also Bitte Orca has blown me away, it's one of those albums that just continues to grow on you every listen.

[queenofcrouton]

Set Your Goals

[Zippedychick]

Fun

[A7XBlink]

I chose Set Your Goals, because Thrice hasn't grew on me just yet...Nothing Personal and Ursa Major are also both up there.

[vernon]

love drunk lol

[thehereaway]

Where's the love for Rx or Portugal (who arguably released two of best records this year)?

This. The Dear Hunter & Sunset Rubdown too.

[HometownHero]

Set Your Goals all the way

[HometownHero]

Out of these, I only extensivly listened to New Again. :shrug:
I'm sorry

[Colin1755]

set your goals really really surprised me i thought they sucked but then i listened to this album and i was amazed it is so freaking good, a little short, but awesome for any fan of rock, it has everything, deffiently give it a listen if you have not, best summer album this year.

[Colin1755]

i am also really into the mars volta.

[BulleTheory]

Rx Bandits - Mandala

[porttheman]

From Monument To Masses-On Little Know Frequencies

[VIVALAMATT]

Of these, the only albums I really truly enjoyed were from Thrice and The Mars Volta. Both of those will make my AOTY list.

Lots of failures on this poll though............I'm looking at you, All Time Low and Cobra Starship. -_-

[Neo Cassady]

Nothing Personal is the only album on this list I've heard. I'm waiting for Beggars to be released for real, though.

[dontdrivenaked]

no fun.?

[atarirockstar]

Broadway Calls is my favorite. Followed by fun. and then FYS.

[_><_]

Thrice - Beggars / Portugal. The Man - The Satanic Satanist

[SeanEBoy2686]

Armistice is by favorite by far... DMB in the distant second

I'd also include fun. on this list (that or DMB would be second for me)

[spunkmastaflex]

Set Your Goals was awesome

[slImChanCe]

other..... AlexisonFire- Old Crows/ Young Cardinals

[RoadTrippin33]

I voted 3EB, but As Tall As Lions, The Matches, and Portugal. The Man released the best summer albums so far. (even though the matches album wasn't technically released.)

[Cøltøn]

Set Your Goals!

[im_FINK]

Wanted to be able to say New Again, but gave it to All Time Low. A good, upbeat album fits summer. Thrice's album would/will be a good fall album.

[yoyostring]

SYG, Thrice, 3eb, & MuteMath. picked MuteMath due to the fact they have more plays on my Itunes.

[theherox]

poor dave matthews band. i totally would have voted for that if i hadn't had seen thrice at the bottom of the list. but they are always my first choice! third choice probably poison the well

[DGlazier]

Satanist was NOT a contender for album of the year. Compared to Beggars?

[DGlazier]

Satanist was NOT a contender for album of the year. Compared to Beggars?

Oh, but....the RX album was great.

[steven31]

Of course my favorite is Thrice...

[Viva Sonata]

Mandala

[COTA]

All Time Low having more votes than Set Your Goals is a crime.

[ThrownAwayKyle]

Satanic Satanist

[Paulb-182]

The fact All Time Low are second makes me question the sanity of the people on this site nowadays

[tonyC4L]

I haven't heard all of the choices but my vote goes to Set Your Goals. Among unlisted choices, I'd say fun. - Aim and Ignite or RXB - Mandala. Mars Volta was disappointing.

[yayitsjoe]

i know it's not really a good album, but my favorite is the Discovery album. i voted for Four Year Strong though.

[COREhorizon]

I voted Set Your Goals -

They should have had August Burns Red or The Chariot up though IMO

[tonighttonight0]

It'll inevitably be Beggars when I get it when it comes out

[stonecoldfox]

where the hell is fun? album of the year for sure.

[screamoutmyname]

i dont think i liked any of these... yikes.

david bazan

[justinmfi]

Im going to have to go with Portugal. The Man - The Satanic Satanist, 3EB, Beggars, and fun...all in all, its been a good summer for music...there is alot more i can put, but i'll keep it simple!

[zachff]

Mute Math, of this list

[CarouselBoy]

i went with set your goals, but I've been holding off on thrice til the physical copy comes out

[TheZeroKid]

This poll is wrong, the correct answer is Act III by The Dear Hunter

[gusta0117]

new found glory - not without a fight

[kbi the crowing]

Portugal. The Man - The Satanic Satanist

[kbi the crowing]

This poll is wrong, the correct answer is Act III by The Dear Hunter

Mandala

these too

[briewer]

Was Bitte Orca released in the summer? Whatever, that one. AOTY.

[Heart-A-Tact]

I'm pretty into that DMB record. If not for DMB, I would've chosen Third Eye Blind's album.

[MSIndulgence]

People actually chose "New Again"?

[gcreams]

I was disappointed by most of these to be honest. Mute Math, Thrice and SYG all put out really good albums. I really need to listen to the new Rx Bandits.

[lauren1234]

Just because it has a summer feel to it I chose Nothing Personal. Overall, though, I would say Thrice or Set Your Goals.

[abcdefghijake]

I'm concerned that TBS got 63 votes. Why?

[IceAge/HeatWave]

no one's first, and you're next.

(yeah i know it's an EP, but it's 33 minutes and 8 tracks of solid music.)

[Nick Le]

Beggars. But I listened to Nothing Personal the most, loved SYG as well. Then probably MUTEMATH and FYS

[Metal Now]

SYG by far.

EDIT: Also, this poll is missing some important ones...

[Nick Hull]

I'm not voting, because you excluded Aim and Ignite.

[glassjaw777]

beggars then rx bandits then portugal

[Charles777]

I wanted to choose Mandala, but that's not there so I chose New Again.

[tttygxlove]

Aim and Ignite
