Must have albums of 2009

I'm always on the look out for great albums, basically just post albums in here when they are released that you consider to be a must have.

I'm sure redkenny will agree with my first 'must have' album

White Lies - To Lose My Life

21st Century Breakdown - Green Day
Out soon

21st Century Breakdown - Green Day
Out soon

It's definately going to be interesting. I was brought up on Green Day but personally I feel they have lost their greatness as the years have gone on. Let's see what they can come up with this time.

Have you heard any songs from it yet?

Great topic this:

I'm listening to "Keep It Hid" by Dan Auerbrach a lot at the moment and can highly recommend it. It's sort of (stubbornly) retro blues/rock with lots of fuzzy guitar work but beautifully crafted.

I'm looking forward to Green Day's latest offering (their Foxboro Hot Tubs venture was excellent IMO) and will keep you posted when I *ahem, cough* get the hold of it - hopefully some day soon. 

So far I've only been able to get the hold of a Demo of the single - "21st Century Breakdown" - a great, typically anthemic, GD tune.

Sounds promising , keep us updated when you 'get hold of it' , I for one am really interested to see what it's like.

Personally I loved American Idiot, my favorite of their albums to date. There has been no leaked songs yet though

Ah, for me Dookie is their best.

2nd favorite for me .

Music For The People by the Enemy. Absoloutely love this band, probably me fave band at the mo.

the official video to that song is here http://www.theenemy.com/

DLS - I've caught The Enemy live a couple of times and they're a cracking wee act. This track sounds a bit heavier than their normal fare but that ain't a bad thing - it's whet my appetite.

I didn't even realise they had new material out, that was quick!

I'm anticipating Editors new album, should be out in the summer I think.

the great escape by the rifles, i thnk it came out in 2009, great album!

Kasabian's new album in June. Mega band!

If "No Love Lost" is anything to go by it should be great.

I might get the new one soon.

21st Century Breakdown - Green Day
Out soon

I actually cannot wait for that! I LOVE Green Day. It's been a while since American Idiot so I'll be interested to hear any changes to their music.

Sorry but I dont agree. American Idiot was more mature and gave their own look at the politics of today. The songs had more relevence to what alot of people were feeling at the time particularly towards the Bush administration. You could see the effort that was put into it. That said their previous albums were great also.

Yeah, I appreciate all that, don't get me wrong, it was a good album.

What I meant really was the whole American Idiot era, I thought they had become too commercialised, released ridiculous merchandise and in my opinion kind of sold themselves a bit.

I see what you mean. But really that is the only way to get to the mainstream, commercialisation. They are very much in the mainstream now so I hope to see them go back to Green Day the band, not the brand.

I've been reading a few articles about the new album and it sounds great. There is supposed to be 16 songs on the album and it will be broken into 3 pieces. I think there is a short demo of the opening track on their official website?

If "No Love Lost" is anything to go by it should be great.

I might get the new one soon.

"No Love Lost" was a great album, "The Great Escape" sounds sort of different but its still good, its a departure from their first album which isnt always a bad thing if you know what i mean.

Well I'm going in to town tomorrow, so I'll see if HMV has it in. If it does I'll be buying

Good shout there on Green Day there Mag, here's a couple more that I'm keeping my eye on.

30 Seconds To Mars - This Is War

Blink 182 - TBA (Scheduled to be released before the end of the year)

Paramore - TBA (Scheduled to be released before the end of the year)

Bullet For My Valentine - TBA (Scheduled to be released before the end of the year)

My Chemical Romance - TBA (Scheduled to be released before the end of the year)

But my favourite albums that I've heard recently are Only By The Night by Kings of Leon, and Folie á Duex by Fall Out Boy.

 ...Blink 182 have an album coming out? I can't wait for that!

Didn't they split up though?

They've only just mentioned last month that they have got back together, and are in the studio's producing a new album, and planning a world tour.

They better book a date in Liverpool!!!

i dunno if they would have the same style they had back in their peak but ive got my fingers crossed!
