Retrospective 2009: Best Albums

Posted by Matt | Posted in Music | Posted on 04-01-2010

If last year retrospective was called ‘Laisse Moi Tranquille 2008‘ since it was quite fitting considering the fact that I wanted nothing else from it, 2009 on the other hand was quite different, like I said in my previous post, it shared it’s own of ups and downs but the pace was more stable than 2008… leaving me time to breathe, which was a very good thing.

Anyway, I’ve always found that making lists was a bit egotastic as everyone has different tastes and rarely you will find an universal list for anything, at least a list that is ranked. Which is why, my lists are not actually ranked as I also find it very hard to put music in order, especially when so many good albums came out in 2009.

I highly suggest to check out the albums that I listed down below if you never did or heard of them before. They’re also accompagnied by reviews, a thing that I never (or rarely) did before, something I’ll probably look up to in twenty ten.

worth mentioning: Jay-Z – Blueprint 3, Handsome Furs – Face Control, Metric – Fantasies, Japandroids – Post-Nothing, Patrick Watson – Wooden Arms, Fever Ray – Fever Ray, Yeah Yeah Yeahs – It’s Blitz, La Roux – La Roux, Bat For Lashes – Daniel, The xx – xx

ps. I had to make them as images, because I couldn’t format my post in ‘advanced html’ with the use of <div> nor <table> … somehow Tumblr does not allow that.
