Am I the first to think that almost every album this year has been, like, terrible?
With the exception of a few?

Anyway... my 'Top 10' so far

10. Queens of the Stone Age - Era Vulgaris
09. The Used - Lies for the Liars
08. Jimmy Eat World - Chase This Light
07. Chiodos - Bone Palace Ballet
06. Enter Shikari - Take to the Skies

04. As I Lay Dying - An Ocean Between Us
03. Alkaline Trio - Remains
02. Kanye West - Graduation
01. From Autumn to Ashes - Holding a Wolf by the Ears

I've not yet had chance to listen to the new Foo Fighters, Jay Z or Dillinger albums, so I'll post opinions on them later.

Now for all the albums I really got hyped about that REALLY let me down this year: Atreyu, NIN, Say Anything, Coheed & Cambria, Funeral for a Friend, Thrice!

Four of my favourite bands in there, churning out pure crap.

Really bad year, I reckon.

 

Probably.

 

Not trying to sound rude, but maybe you're just like the person that loves a girl so much that they find the most minor fault with her and become obsessed with that fault? Buying into hype can do that to you sometimes; happens to me every once and a while, as I'm sure it does most people.
