Christ I know.

"It's a stereotypical deathrock album that offers nothing new."

Shut the fuck up with that already! What did you expect from a band called "Cemetary Girlz"? I for one welcome a return to the basics when it is done so damn well.

Anyway I love this album. New FOF is also great, but I think I may like this one more.

Wow, really. Man, they've got some tough competition than. All music gave them 4.5 stars out of 5 in their review. That really surprised me. I can't wait to see them again.

Lots of good releases this year. I really feel like I'm going to have to isolate myself and listen to all of the nominated albums. Before, I would look at the polls and think the winner should be the only album I've heard.

The shuffle option on my IPOD has corrupted me I just listen to the same songs over and over and skip all the new stuff.

I'm not nominating these two cause I haven't actually listened to them yet. But, has anybody heard Legion Within or Kid Congo Power and the Pink Flamingos?

I think they both just came out with albums this year.

I know some of the folks in Legion Within and got myself a copy of their latest single, and it is pretty kewl. I think William broke his ankle during one of their recent shows.

Honestly I haven't even listened to their new album yet, but I am waiting for it to arrive in the mail. I love some of their newest tunes on their Myspace profile so I am excited to hear the new album.

I'm re-nominating Coranach by Cross Stitched Eyes (my earlier nominating post has mysteriously disappeared). I know Mark doesn't like them, but I do - they remind me a lot of Rudimentary Peni.

That album sucked, I was SO disappointed. They're one of my favorite old-school groups but the new one...sigh.

I'll admit the album wans't what I had expected. But, when I heard the some of the new songs performed live they really stuck out. I don't know I just felt more in tune with the rhythm after one of their shows. Now, I really enjoy the songs from the new album.

I'm om-nom-nominating Escarlatina Obsessiva's Pandemic for album of the year, 2009.

I haven't had a chance to listen yet but I liked what I heard on the myspace.

They're OK, but for me Plastique Noir IS the best Brazilian band I've listened so far.

About the nominated bands, I'm still kinda undecided... I've haven't listen to Blacklist yet and as for the rest... Squishy Squid, FOF and the Cemetary are OK, but although I absolutely loved Cemetary Girlz's demo, the album was not the same for me. How to say it, I think it is a little overproduced and it lost the harsh sound I felt for; the voice gets lost in there, too.
As for Joy Disaster, I only liked "The Light" song from that album.

I'll re-check for the albums I loved this year anyway, there actually ARE several very interesting in my humble opinion XD

Cheers!

Welcome Gabrielle!

See I think with "Smoke my Brain" the higher production values only add to the intensity of the album. Give it another shot in a few weeks.

I love Plastique, but I have to say the last four tracks off their debut album were duds. Still I really enjoyed their debut.

Blacklist is as James put it, 'faceless' rock. I don't like them at all really.

Gotta admit it, 2009 is a great year for DR.

Am I the only one who also feels Blacklist sounds a bit too "pretty" . "Flight of the Demoiselles" is too happy for me and the lyrics don't really get my attention.

Zola Jesus, I guess. And the new Factums.

Which one's the new Factums
