Top 10 Albums of 2009

The decade closed out strong. While there was only one album that was overwhelmingly spectacular and moving this year (hint: it’s #1), there were more wonderfully solid and balanced albums than there had been in years.

Rather than try and cram my thoughts on these gems into suffocatingly concise little blurbs, I thought it better if I made it so you could just click on the album titles to be linked to the full review.

Enjoy.

1. Hospice – The Antlers
2. Daisy – Brand New
3. Mt. St. Helen’s Vietnam Band – Mt. St. Helen’s Vietnam Band
4. Actor – St. Vincent
5. Yes! – k-os
6. Never Better – P.O.S.
7. Now We Can See – The Thermals
8. Sainthood – Tegan & Sara
9. Mean Everything To Nothing – Manchester Orchestra
10. Mama, I’m Swollen – Cursive
