There was some talk in the comments of the Best Albums of 2009 post about a lack of standout discs and that 2010 could be a bit of a “rebound year”.
It turns out, an absolutely ridiculous 22 OF MY BEST BANDS OF THE 00s (that post is also coming soon) have new discs due this year!!! and the other 10 on this list ain’t too shabby either. It’ll take some doing for a dark horse to win best album this year – can’t wait to see if they can pull it off!
