Ну что тут сказать... 2009 год выдался очень очень урожайным: с таким большим количеством суперхитовых пластинок я еще не сталкивался никогда.. Хотя, скорее всего, это потому, что я умудрился прослушать порядка 200 пластинок прошедшего года... И это радует!
Большое впечатление на меня произвел так называемый стиль Alternative Rock с примесью пост-гранжа: сразу несколько топовых групп этого жанра выпустили свои пластинки (в 2006 году было тоже самое, они как будто сговорились) - Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin, Papa Roach, Hoobastank, Skillet. Из них в этот раз выделились "брекеты" и "скилеты": настолько сильных альбомов я от них просто-напросто не ожидал. Немного разочаровали TDG: по сравнению с прошлыми двумя почти идеальными релизами новое творение группы можно назвать только "хорошим".. Хотя по сравнению с другими альбомами групп TDG выпустили отличную пластинку.
Более чем порадовали старички Bon Jovi - снова хороший альбом, правда, слушая некоторые песни, испытываешь чувство дежавю: некоторые песни явно слизаны с прошлых хитов группы.
Очень приятный альбом выпустили Lazy Bitches - группа явно повзрослела, на смену полтора-минутным песенкам пришли серьезные баллады, да и инструментальная составляющая стала заметно технологичней.
Не обошлось, конечно, и без групп, разочаровавших своими релизами. Особенно огорчили Тараканы!: по сравнению с альбомом 2006 года новое творение просто ужасно. На смену драйвовым песенкам с классными мотивами пришли однообразные композиции за исключением 2-3 песен, из которых больше всего запомнилась То, что не убивает тебя - вот она действительно суперхит.
Так же разочаровали альбомы групп 30 Seconds to Mars, AFI, Franz Ferdinand, Rammstein, Panic и чувачков Eminem и Timbaland.
Ну и конечно, как же без новых открытий. В 2009 я впервые познакомился и глубоко проникся творчеством таких групп, как Adelitas Way ("My Dirrrty little thing..."), CAVO, Corroded, Dead by Sunrise (сайд проект Честера Беннингтона получился более чем хорошим), Decyfer Down, Evans Blue, Halestorm, Jonas Brothers, Paramore, Red, The Veer Union и Thousand Foot Krutch.
В общем, год выдался просто восхитительным. От 2010 хотелось бы ждать хоть половину от прошлого, и это вполне реально: должны выйти альбомы Linkin Park, Disturbed, Bullet For My Valentine и многих других.

As the title suggests, a list of all the greatest hits / best of CD's I own in non-digital form ;) I didn't buy all of them, a lot of them were given to me as gifts because some people know I collect them, and some I got for dirt cheap and was purely for collections sake. I wouldn't listen to a fair few of them :P (a couple havent been!).

Feel free to suggest me some to get. I have a list of what I want, but you may surprise me with an artist I haven't thought of :)
