NOISECREEP UNVEILS THEIR TOP TEN ALBUMS OF 2009

Sing it with me now: It’s the most wonder-ful time of the year…

Our pals at Noisecreep are the next ones up to unveil their favorite records of ’09. While it doesn’t look much like my own list, I will say that every album that made the cut is very good, and worthy of your consideration.

An interesting side note: I’ve seen Decibel’s list, too, and not only did their number one pick not make NC’s list at all, but NC’s number one pick is number seventeen on Decibel’s list. Is this going to be a year when there’s a lack of critical consensus – or does the gap just speak to the difference in tastes (and tones) of the respective staffs of each website/magazine? I guess we’ll need a few more media outlets to weigh to know for sure.

Check it out here, then come back and argue about it.
