    The only album released in 2009 that comes to my mind that I really like. But this is a great one.

    ...and that's about it. I would normally list the Tori Amos release here, but I've never been able to get to grips with Abnormally Attracted to Sin...or its dreadful title...oh, and Midwinter Graces wasn't very good either...

    I kind of missed a lot of 2009. I was touring the US playing music at youth camps, so it will probably be a short list :)

    Muse - resistance
    Madness - the liberty of norton folgate
    Decemberists - Hazards of love
    Devin Townsend - Ki
    Devin Townsend - Addicted

    there's probably more. but that's all that's coming to mind for me. Quality over quantity :)
