Top album growers of 2009 so far..

Now I know some people won't agree and will think my musical tastes suck but..I don't care!? This is the music I enjoy so ner :P

Taking Back Sunday - New Again


I've loved TBS for years now, I've seen them live twice and was really looking forward to their new album. I wouldn't say Louder Now was a complete disappointment, but it's not up there with the previous two albums.
Their new album, New Again has really grown on me. I love albums that grow on me because everytime I listen, I hear something new and my favourite tracks change about a million times!

I was a bit sceptical about the new TBS album because of Fred's despartue, would it be the same TBS? Well, yes it is, but better. The album has everything that the band is known for yet they seem to have grown up loads since previous albums and are producing much better songs because of it. I would say Fred's departure has done the band a favour if anything!



Green Day - 21st Century Breakdown


I have been waiting for literally years for a new album from Green Day and when I heard 'Know Your Enemy,' I was quietly disappointed if I'm honest. It didn't sound half as epic as American Idiot did but I bought the album regardless (and also tickets to see them live!) and although it took a few listens, I love the album. It's has lots of similarities and differences to American Idiot and although most people say that they could never top American Idiot, I think they have done so.



A Day To Remember - Homesick


Now, A Day To Remember. I wasn't keen on them to start off with and I can't even remember how I got onto listening to them but I wasn't too impressed. I'm pretty sure I downloaded the album, deleted it and then downloaded it again after I had heard a few more songs. This album has taken a long time to grow on me and I have this weird thing where I have to like at least 4 or 5 songs on an album before I buy it and although I like more than 5 songs there was still something stopping me from buying it, but now I can't stop listening to it when I open ITunes so I've bought the album ready to blast in the car. :D


So that's my top 3 album growers of 2009, so far. There are still a few albums to come this year, Paramore, Brand New, The Used and plenty more I hope!
