Time for your list of favorite releases for 2009 (studio albums, no live or reissues... list those separately). Feel free to post what you were disappointed by also.Favs that i found myself listening to a lot this year:
MASTODON - CRACK THE SKYE
THRICE - BEGGARS
PEARL JAM - BACKSPACER
PORCUPINE TREE - THE INCIDENT
STEVEN WILSON - INSURGENTES
VOIVOD - INFINI
QUEENSRYCHE - AMERICAN SOLDIER
THE COMPANY BAND - THE COMPANY BAND
OSI - BLOOD
SLAYER - WORLD PAINTED BLOOD
METALLICA - DEATH MAGNETIC (aside from the crappy overblown production, i really enjoy this album) Bummed about:
MEGADETH - endgame (a few classic megadeth tunes but too many songs just don't cut it for me)
BRAND NEW - daisy (complete shit)
CLUTCH - strange cousins from the west (this would be a great album for most bands but i was a bit let down in what i expected from clutch)
DREAM THEATER - black clouds & silver linings (i almost forgot this was released this year because i guess i tried to forget it came out at all... another miss) -------------------- yawn

Voivod - Infini
Mastodon - Crack The SkyeThe 20th anniversary gig of LOA in Lierop, damn big moshpit that was  The Living Colour gig in Tilburg rocked. Hearing the first two songs of the new Triptykon album was great(and a relief it wasn't a disapointment)! But absolute #1 were the two Voivod gigs last summer on Waldrock festival and in Antwerpen and meeting the guys after the superb Antwerp gig rocked mega!! -------------------- Travel now, journey infinitely

2009 hasn't been an impressive year for me to be honest. But there's been some nice releases nonethless...Here are the albums that I've been truly excited about and satisfied with: 1. Alice in Chains / Black Gives Way to Blue
2. Sepultura / A-Lex
3. Pearl Jam / Backspacer
4. L'esprit du Clan / Chapitre IV - L'enfer c'est le nôtre
5. Mass Hysteria / Failles
6. Kreator / Hordes of Chaos To a lesser extent, albums I was excited about but wasn't blown away by: 1. Voivod / Infini
2. Mastodon / Crack the Skye
3. Throwdown / Deathless
4. Kiss / Sonic Boom (yawn) Don't get me wrong, I enjoy Infini but I'd be lying if I said I was blown away. Mastodon, meh, just meh. Kiss, what can I say? Stop writing new songs and just keep doing what you've been doing forever : stick with the classics. That's what people wanna hear anyway... Not album related, but the thing that got me the most excited this year was Faith No More's reunion. FUCK YEAH!

FNM reuniting was indeed a highlight and hoping for new material really excites me. I liked the new AiC and was thrilled they got back together, but after a few spins I kinda forgot about it... it didn't have the hooks to keep my attention. I would also add Hordes Of Chaos to my fav list for the year. -------------------- yawn

GORGOROTH - Quantos Possunt Ad Satanitatem Trahunt Gigs:
FEAR FACTORY with Gene Hoglan on drums, a must see for all.
AC/DC, classic.
MAIDEN on the Somewhere Back In Time tour, so I could pretend I was at Long Beach Arena! 
ENTOMBED, at last! -------------------- "Forty-five moments of perfection translated through a cautionary escape into the perils of the mundane, the inherent entropy in ultimate order, and the potential threats of eternal, unchecked apathy in civilization; all cloaked in musical expression so thoughtful, creative and forward thinking that almost a quarter-century later, few can even comprehend it, much less match it."
