Forum Overview :: No Stairway to Heaven :: A lot of you are wondering what the album of the year was.

[quote name="Fussbett"]The album of the year was "Darkness Come Alive" by Doomriders. <img src="http://www.beyondrace.com/images/stories/doomriders_darkness.jpg"> And the music lives up to that album cover! TURN IT UP: [youtube id=UNVptkIol1o] Here's one of the more pensive ballads about not letting the fuckers grind you down: [youtube id=WL5BrOC55TQ] I almost gave 2009 to Kylessa's "Static Tensions" or Shrinebuilder's S/T, or (yawn) Mastodon's "Crack the Skye", but then I heard Darkness Come Alive. You should probably listen to <a href="http://www.myspace.com/manchesterorchestra" target="mean">Mean Everything to Nothing</a> if you're too much of a fag for Doomriders. I don't mean that as a diss, some people are just fags and this is another great album. The best non-Doomriders single of the year was "Crown on the Ground (soiled)" by Sleigh Bells. Their other songs are not nearly as good as this unfortunately: [youtube id=3z8ppcFGPlY] Your speakers are not broken. Best song title that I discovered this year: "Crappy Shop (50 Cent diss track) - Forensics.mp3"[/quote]
