I have been approached multiple times within the last week, about my "Top 10 Albums of the Year" and I was never prepared. I've never had one, but was told I must. So I thought about it and came up with my ten favorite albums of the year, but not necessarily the best. I also came up with one sentence for each.


(1)A Wilhelm Scream :: Mute Print
There is not a single song on this album that does not rock, nor is there a dude in this band that doesn't rock.

(2)Rise Against :: Siren Song of the Counter Culture
I believe that this would have been the next Rise Against record, no matter what label it came out on.

(3)Break the Silence :: Near Life Experience
We had to wait a long time for this album after it was completed and it was totally worth the wait, it shreds.

(4)Atreyu :: The Curse
This album gave me goosebumps the first time I heard it because it is 2004's Motley Crue.

(5)OneLife :: EP
Ok, this band was awesome, then they fell apart, released this EP online for downloading, and is disgustingly disappointing to know that they aren't making this music anymore.

(6)Bayside :: Sirens and Condolences
These guys have such a cool sound, and this album just is a great mix of heavy and meaningful.

(7)Tony Sly/Joey Cape :: Acoustic Split EP
One half of this record made this list of 10, and it wasn't the Joey Cape half.

(8)15 Minutes Late :: Is This How You Feel?
Weeks upon weeks went by went I didn't at least listen to one track off of this album, plus the hidden track is the coolest.

(9)David Cross :: It's Not Funny
He did most of this act at SXSW, so it reminds me of one of the best experiences of my life, plus he is a sarcastic dick.

(10)Preacher Gone to Texas :: From the Heartland
Again, another band that didn't make it much past their best work, but this album just sounds awesome.

Worth Mentioning=
Green Day :: American Idiot
Lots of hype, most warranted, and I was lucky enough to be at the live listening party where they played the whole album live from start to finish, it was magical.

Underoath :: They Are Only Chasing Safety
I didn't like this album at first, but after seeing them live, the songs are way better.
