2009 Top 10 (etc.)

Wow, first post since April! Hmm... there has been a lot going on since then, hasn't there? If you're in the know, you know, and if you're not - don't worry about it, you'll find out if it matters.

2009 Top 10
These are the 10 albums released this year that I enjoyed the most. I started writing out detailed explanations, but it was holding up progress, and really - if you know me and/or my taste in music, this will all make sense, and you should be able to spot which ones you might like yourself, and which ones you'll truly hate (hint: if your name rhymes with "Cars Cane" you will not like my #1 pick at all). Onward!
Honorable Mentions: The Fold - Dear Future, Come Get Me; Them Crooked Vultures - Them Crooked Vultures
10. Passion Pit - Manners
9. Relient K - Forget and Not Slow Down
8. Thrice - Beggars
7. Paramore - Brand New Eyes
