Best albums of 2009
A great year for music has come to an end and, unlike most other people, we’ve managed to wait until the year is actually over to publish our lists of best albums. I mean, what if someone got the crazy idea of releasing an insanely great album a few days before new years eve? Not that it happened, as far as I know, but that’s really not the point.
Picking out a list of the ten best albums of a year can be tough. Either you have too many albums you think deserve to be up there, or you’re finding it hard to pick as much as a handful that deserves such praise. Mikael is a bit picky, so his list is only five albums long, while Ole Torstein could probably make it twenty instead.
We’ve also included the list of a new writer who’s joining us. Her name is Amalie and you’ll probably see an article with her name on it pretty soon. Her list is a full ten albums, but they’re just ordered alphabetically, not from how good they are.
Anyways, here they are!
