Ve l'avevamo già proposta l'anno scorso e ovviamente non possiamo che fare lo stesso anche quest'anno, stiamo parlando della classifica degli album migliori del 2009 secondo Metacritic . Metacritic è molto importante perchè raccoglie i voti di molte testate musicali e successivamente ne fa una media complessiva. Ma non è tutto oro quello che luccica, infatti è molto USA-oriented, il che si traduce nel fatto che spesso bisogna aspettare la release statunitense di un'album per vederlo inserito nel database. Quindi prendiamolo per quel che è: un autorevole aggregatore di "valutazioni", nulla di più. [...]

Looking for concert trends across our top live picks from this past year, the magic of the live music experience in 2009 seemed inversely proportional to the size of the venue relative to the artist playing there. Whaaa? Let's try that again: the bigger the artist crammed into the smaller the venue made for some of the most mind-blowing shows we've seen in quite some time. Was it a result of the recession? A reflection of our thrifty times? Or simply dumb luck on our part? We're not really sure, but from the world's biggest metal band [...]

Thieves By Tuesday*
There had been way too many remarkable songs to fit into a top 10, heck, even a top 25 list for me. So here, I'm giving you a peek into the colossal (to exaggerate it a bit) number of songs that shook, ripped and sewn together my year. 2009 bore witness to the influx of exquisitely created music from an expansive and diverse pool of genres. Indie, rap/ hiphop power reigned supreme in the charts and year-end lists. These songs may not be what you'll rank as your best 100, but I guarantee you, these are DEFINITELY worth having in [...]

Can You See the Sunset
So this is it. My favorite full-length albums of the year. So many other blogs post their top songs of the year, but I guess I'm a bit more old-school (and probably older) than most of them. I prefer the album format rather then just ranking singles against one another. I posted Part I of this list yesterday, but there are so many good albums from 2009 that I had to leave off the list completely (unless I was going to make it an even 100). Maybe next year, right? Also, fuck all the [...]

Merry Rotting Christ mas, ladies and gentleman, and welcome to the year-end installment of this column. Though other, more industrious writers have cast their vision back across the decade to craft comprehensive lists of goodness, spanning all ten years, this morsel of prose will focus solely on the dying year. Some of 2009's best offerings have already been profiled in my two previous columns , so spots are reserved in my top ten for Baroness' Blue Album , Shrinebuilder's self-titled release, and Gama Bomb's Tales from the Grave in [...]

The Ripple Effect
Someone in this band has been listening to Wishbone Ash . That's the first thing that popped into my mind after giving the new Baroness a spin. It's not surprising since Baroness has always brought in traditional classic rock influences as well as some psychedelic stylings to their brand of metal. 2007's Red Album (nice Grand Funk reference) was one of the better albums of that year, but Blue Record is a big improvement. This year has seen real breakthrough albums from Mastodon and [...]
The Cargo Culte
He was a Benedictine priest, a linguist, a foremost world authority on archaic pre-Christian, pre polyphonic music. He was also the most famous exorcist in Venice, Italy as well as a quantum physicist. He was a world class scholar who did not view science and the metaphysical to be differentiated by a hard and fast line. Father Marcello Pelligrino Ernetti was born in 1925 outside of Rome and entered the Benedictine abbey of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice at the age of 16, remaining there until his death at the age of 69. Ernetti first crossed the [...]

Can You See the Sunset
Over the last few years it has somehow become hip and cool to like metal bands again despite metal being and inherently uncool genre. Sure, there's lots of shredding and Guitar Hero idolization associated with metal acts, but these bands still sing about dragons and mythical fantasy lands or wear tight leather pants and too much guyliner. Savannah, Georgia's Baroness is not one of "those" metal bands. At its core, their latest album, Blue Record , is a sludge-metal masterpiece, but even more melodic and clear than anything the band has done before. [...]
