Before I get into there reviews there are some honorable mentions. I ordered three albums using gift cards, but they won't be in for another couple days, so I can't give them reviews. However, they were technically purchased in 2009 and deserve recognition:
Jenny Owen Youngs - Batten the Hatches (2007)
The White Stripes - White Blood Cells (2001)
The Xx - Xx (2009)
Now here is the conclusion of my 10-word reviews of all the albums I collected this year.
---------------------------------------------
Or, The Whale - Or, the Whale (2009)
Anti folk done well, but pretty slow. 4 good songs.
Phoenix - Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix (2009)
Another top 5 album of 2009, it’s really quite good.
Port O'Brien - Threadbare (2009) (VINYL)
I liked them a lot live, and followed them since.
The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow (2003)
This was on a best of decade list. It’s good.
Spiral Beach - The Only Really Thing (2009) (VINYL)
I really like this band, regardless of what you think.
St. Vincent - Actor (2009)
A pleasant album that pairs well with a sauvignon blanc.
The Submarines - Declare a New State! (2006)
Mellower than their latest album, but still catchy as hell.
The Sugarplastic - Bang, The Earth is round (1996)
I liked their song from Powerpuff Girls. Don’t judge me.
Teddybears - Soft Machine (2006)
One word; “Cobrastyle”. Crap, that wasn’t ten words – oh, wait.
Telekinesis! - Telekinesis! (2009)
Catchy, fun, and recommended. Not as much as others, though.
Those Darlins - Those Darlins (2009)
These girls are awesome. Awesome. Hilarious and great. Garage LIVES!
The Unicorns - Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone? (2003)
- 2014 [EP] (2004)
A seminal indie pop band. Man, these guys are depressed.
We Landed on the Moon - These Little Wars (2008)
-We Landed On the Moon (2006)
PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS BAND, THEY KICK MAJOR BUTTOCKS. Seriously.
White Rabbits - It's Frightening (2009)
I loved their first album, I like most this one.
Windmill - Epcot Starfields (2009)
Very similar to first. Weird vocals might be a hangup.
The Wooden Birds - Magnolia (2009)
Screw this review, I’m finally done with this damn game!
