Better than last year, I suppose.

Let the bitching begin.

I had ABSOLUTELY no clue the Testament album was doing as well as it did.

Yeah, it was handsomely in fourth. I personally thought it sucked, save for a couple of songs.

And Fleet Foxes is WAY too low

If you don't mind, I'd like to see the point totals for each album, including the honorable mentions.

SomewhereInTime72 · #6 01-14-2009, 08:47 PM

Yeah, I'm pretty surprised by Testament.

I also think it's ridiculous that Amon Amarth got into second place. Bah.

JRA · #7 01-14-2009, 08:49 PM

I'm surprised Lil Wayne didn't make it.

This is the first year we've done this that I didn't like a single album in the top 6.

ADD · #10 01-14-2009, 08:57 PM

I do not endorse this top 10

That being said thanks again Brad for taking the time to put together and do this thankless task yet again another year, keep it up
