Some people are very incapable of picking just a few albums they like I feel as though if I regularly listen to albums then they deserve the promotion of being on my list. I feel bad for not including albums I enjoy even if they are not better then the other 20 I like.

Paramore - Brand New Eyes 08. Matthew Good - Vancouver 09. Madina Lake - Attics To Eden 10. Alexisonfire - Old Crows/Young Cardinals
Sorry if this comes off harsh, but that's not really the point. The point is it was decided last year that there would be no huge lists of every album a person has listened to in the year. ------------------------------------------- Anyway, my final list for the year.

Nile - Those Whom the Gods Detest 10. August Burns Red - Constellations 11. Confession - Cancer 12. The Devil Wears Prada - With Roots Above and Branches Below 13. 30 Seconds to Mars - This is War 14. Lights - The Listening 15. Forever the Sickest Kids - The Weekend: Friday
