Top albums of 2009

Ok so they might not all be 2009 releases, or they might be? I'm just saying these are the top 9 albums I came across last year.

9. Black Eyed Peas- The E.N.D. Now I know it doesn't seem like my kind of music. The album is very good though. It definitely got significant play time on my iPod. Highlights: I gotta feeling, boom boom pow.

8. JET- Shaka Rock. Really the first jet album I had ever listened to. It definitely made me a fan. I even got a chance to see them play live in November. Highlights: she's a genius, beat on repeat, k.I.a., black hearts (on fire).

7. Switchfoot- Hello Hurricane. Switchfoots best album since "the beautiful letdown" and that's saying something. Although it hasn't gotten huge play time (due to timing of it's release). Highlights: the sound, mess of me, hello hurricane.

6. Kutless- It Is Well. The second worship album kutless has released. I was a little wary before I heard it. After not so much. It is an amazing album. Highlights: it is well, what faith can do, give us clean hands.

5. DC*B- Church Music. This was actually the one I anticipated the most. I even got it on vinyl. Crowder puts out another amazing album. Complete with a Flyleaf cover. Highlights: all around me, how he loves, oh happiness.

4. Skillet- Awake. Skillet=amazing music. Again bad timing along with switchfoot. Highlights: hero (was actually used by NBC for NFL promotions), it's not me it's you, Lucy.

3. Flyleaf- Memento Mori. I'll admit normally I'm not a huge fan of chick rock singers. However lacey's voice is amazing. The album just flows. No weak points. Highlights: beautiful bride, alive, treasure, tiny hearts.

2. Thousand Foot Krutch- Welcome To The Masquerade. Starts off perfectly with a minute intro of loud rocking instrumental that just flows into the title track. Then every song is awesome and rocking. It was hard not to make this one number one. I hadn't really payed attention to tfk since The Art Of Breaking. This one is well worth it. Highlights: the invitation, e for extinction, smack down, and of course the title track.

1. Capital Lights- This Is An Outrage. Honestly I found this in December after hearing a Christmas song they do, which coincidently is my favorite. High energy, more of a loose type. Not like hard rock. Can't really describe it. Great music for playing loudly. Highlights: let the little lady talk, mile away, outrage.


Hope you enjoyed reading this. If you check out the music I hope you enjoy it. I do.
