Lamb of god - Wrath
a day to remember - homesick
the devil wears prada - with roots above and branches below
chimaira - the infection
atreyu - congregation of the damned
I voted for Animal Collective - Post Merriweather Pavillion because it was the only album on there that I thought was worthy of making it into a best of 09 list.
Keep in mind I don't listen to the hardcore and the screamo. ;)
boo! at no Morrissey 'Years of Refusal' or The Ghost Of A Thousand 'New Hope, New Demonstrations' on the list. BOTH thse are the THE releases of the year.
The Red Shore's 'unconsecrated' was released in 2008! not 2009, The US re-release was released in 2009 which was both it, and lost verses on one cd plus the dvd.
anyway, my vote outta those is This Time Next Year. impressed the hell outta me it did and more points for the The Movielife reference in their name. :)
XXX
AFI, Art vs. Science, Kisschasy, Passion Pit, Short Stack. Yeah Stack is the New Black was not too bad, but wouldn't go so far as to say that they have more talent than any other band here. Have you even heard every band on this list?
I voted for Short Stack, Lady Gaga, Hilltop Hoods... nah I actually voted for Alexisonfire, Closure In Moscow, Taking Back Sunday, Dashboard Confessional and Paramore. Bit disappointed that Emerys album didn't get a mention though
wow either im not in the loop of a short stack joke or there are alot of fags on this website these days...... ADTR, Alexisonfire, August Burns Red, Evergreen Terrace & Every Time I Die
afi - crash love
strung out -agents of the underground
nofx - coaster
Billy talent - III
moneen - the world I want to leave behind
lots of other contenders though!
SHORT STACK! SHORT STACK! I LOVE SHORT STACK SO MUCH! Sexiest guys in the world. Best music ever! Know every song word for word.
I WISH i could b with them, but obs the chances are very small. I will get with them one day tho. haha
No! I LOVE SHORT STACK. Will see them December 12th. Can't wait. I LOVE YOU SHORT STACK! U will win I know it!
yeah short stack are kinda cheating becouse no other bands are telling there fans to come over and sign up just to vote for them in my opinion its ruined the whole thing because instead of being who site users like now its who short stack tweenies like.
i dont mind you voteing but actually use the site dont just vote and leave.
i think short stack should be removed from the comp just to make it who KYS users think is the album of the year. thanks guys you not only ruined australian music but now KYS oh i went there.
i downloaded short stack in the wake of all the hype on this thread. clearly this band is about image and to a much lesser extent - music... The integrity of this album of the year poll has been compromised...needless to say i deleted it shortly after.
And to all the people who voted for it - get your head out of the sand !
Short Stack : D
Best band everr'(:
i mean who calls there fans if they pre-order sway sway baby :/
um SHORT STACK, do : D
hehe good luck Short Stack ;)
i vote Short Stack!,
and i wouldnt of known if they hadnt of tweeted vote for us blah blah blah : D
so im glad they did tweet that : )
well short stack rocks (:
Ooh ; deffinatley short stack:)
you'd have to be of true douche baggery not to vote for them
they're amazing, and so is thier album.
deffo more gorgeous in person though Short Stack are mass wins :)
ill be your sweet december btw ;)
voted Propagandhi, New found glory, A Death in the family, Polar bear club and Set Your Goals.
Would have voted for John Mayer's "battle studies" if that was an option though.
gallows hopefully are up there that album was a big fuckin step up from orchestra of wolves. Even tho they signed on with a big name company they still kept it dirty
Break even takes the cake for sure.
also set your goals, trapped under ice,polar bear club and passion pit get a mention.
shortstack are jepordising this contest.
also its weird how you have the odd pop/hiphop/dance album seeing as there have been a lot of notable pop releases, and you've just put in a few?
i always assumed this site was based on heavier kinds of music punk/hardcore/metal
WTF is with all the Short Stack votes? Are these people actually serious??!!
They have no talent whatsoever.
My votes are for ADTR, Silverstein, BCE, Closure & Confession!
Freaking Short Stack?? Get real!!
@hollyy___x (134): they don't exactly fit in with the other bands... but then again short stack is on there so we may as well let any trash be voted for.
brand new,alexisonfire,billy talent,afi,all time low,phoenix. (fav's of '09)
and yeah tegan and sara should totally be on that list, cause that was my favorite album of '09 for sure.
there is sooooo much good stuff to pick from, but I decided that my final 5 IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER is: 1-Devildriver:Pray For Villains, 2-Between The Buried And Me:The Great Misdirect, 3-Cattle Decapitation:The Harvest Floor, 4-Unearth:The March Reissue, and 5-Hatebreed: Hatebreed. It was real hard to leave out Slayer, ABR, Cannibal Corpse, The Red Chord, The Red Shore, and The Black Dahlia Murder. Honestly though, the 5 cd's that I picked were albums that REALLY stood out for me.
alexisonfire, a day to remember, saosin, set your goals and taking back sunday-i love all of those albums, but there are a few others i wouldve voted for too :D
Thrice, A Day To Remember, Polar Bear Club, Jamie T and Paramore. Paramore was a substitute for either Biffy clyro or Them Crooked Vultures who both werent in the list :( Either way, hard to make a top five with all the awesome music this year
Confession-Cancer, August Burns Red-Constellations, A Day To Remember-Homesick, The Red Shore-Unconsecrated & Deez Nuts-Stay True, althought it was released last year >_>
I voted
Short Stack (AUS) Stack Is The New Black
Dizzee Rascal Tongue N' Cheek
All Time Low Nothing Personal
Atreyu Congregation of the Damned
Dream Theater Black Clouds and Silver Linings
WTF, I agree with whoever said 'What's with all the Short Stack votes'. They are shit, why the hell would you vote for them, bah. And by the looks of it, they going to win this freakin' thing! Grrr, angers me. My votes; Atreyu - Congregation of the Damned, Green Day - 21st Century Breakdown (whom I just saw live ^_^), Killswitch Engage - Killswitch Engage, The Get Up Kids - Something To Write Home About (re-release) [I think these guys are good, considering I'm more of a metalcore fan, I actually like listening to some stuff like these guys too] and.... Hilltop Hoods - State of the Art.. I'm not a Hilltops fan, just thought this album was pretty good, I went and saw them live too. That was actually pretty sick but yeah. Wishing I could have added Lamb of God and Devildriver, but yeah.
Mean Everything to Nothing - Manchester Orchestra
Vecktamist - Grizzly Bear
Brothers Blood - Kevin Devine
First Temple - Closure In Moscow
Axe To Fall - Converge
Daisy - Brand New
Nobel Beast - Andrew Bird
on the top of my head anyway.
Stack is the new black - Short Stack - worst thing i've ever heard.
i voted for all the people who voted for short stack to be locked away and forced to listen to Mastodon's Crack The Skye and BTBAM's The Great Misdirect over and over until they realise what REAL musicianship is.
Some Of You Guys actualy Voted for Shortstack You must be Messed up in the head they are crap...........The Red Shore,August Burns Red,A Day To Remember & Atreyu Ftw But there is so many more like Behind Crimson Eyes and Deeznuts That are good They are missing out on one good band Before Clear Skies and At Fates Mercy Adelaide Band They Are kick ass www.myspace.com/beforeclearskies http://www.myspace.com/atfatesmercy Check em out
Dead Kings- Dead Kings, Confession - Cancer, Killswitch Engage - Killswitch Engage, August Burns Red - Constellation, chimaira - Infection....i considered log - wrath but went with chimaira
Lol no, ^^^^^ im not being serious. Just trolling, like im sure most people are. Or at least, I hope.
I voted The Used, Say Anything, Dashboard, FYS, & The Dangerous Summer.
dude i agree manchesta orchestra was the album of the year.
in retrospect i wish i had voted for defeater.
how do you win stuff? by just voting?
also short stack deserve a wedgie and/or castration
Say Anything's Self Titled definitely takes all. There's a lot of embarrassing muck on this list. I found it hard to even get to five. Say Anything was one of the most refreshing lyrical masterpieces I have heard in a while. Billy Talent III was also most impressive.
I also think Art vs Science are the most original conceptual group to come out of Sydney in my lifetime.
Now bury my opinion.
To anyone who voted fuckin Short Stack or Brokencyde....you sir are a moron
my votes - Gallows, Lamb Of God, Muse, DevilDriver and Green Day
If Short Stack win music is officially dead....
