As the year comes to a close I've been reminiscing about all the great music that came out this year. I've listened to hours and hours of music that broke barriers, pushed limits and brought artistry back to the scene. Here are a few of my picks for best album of 2009.
5. Mos Def - The Ecstatic
Everyone underestimates Mos Def and then he goes and puts together yet another amazing album. He's got this new style India vibe on his background tracks, and he spits out amazing Buddha-like knowledge on the masses. He truly is a modern day poet that elevates rap and blazes trails for rappers that want to rap about real life, not the media concocted reality that rap is all about now.
4. Girls - Album
These guys are crazy good. The whole album has really unique feel with a mashup of genres, and you can really hear Beach Boys and Elvis Costello influences but it's done up with an indie pop vibe. It's a must listen to album. Oh yeah, and it's about girls.
3. Phoenix - Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix
As candy coated this is, it still has musical chops. I get blissed out every time I listen to this album. Very pop, but very artistic at the same time.
2. Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest
Along with having the surprising video I've seen all year, they are surprisingly one of my favorites. It's a perfect album. Every sound from vocal, to synth to ambient background is in the right place and makes for a very polished experience. Some say that some songs are boring but you have to take the whole album into account, and it really works from the first to last track.
1. Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion
This is the most original album I've heard in a decade. Each song on the album seems to have it's own feel and it's hard to pick a genre for it because of it's ultimate diversity. If you haven't listened to this album from first to last track then your are missing out on an awesome music experience.
I hope you liked the list and don't forget to buy music to help support bands that create art and help music progress and evolve.
