Overall I'd say it's been a good year. Not as many "great" albums as 07-08 had to offer, but in addition to the stuff listed above, I thought there was a lot of good/enjoyable releases from: Akron Family, Cornershop, Dear Landlord, Decemberists, Eels, Marked Men, The Sidekicks, and probably a bunch more that I've forgotten and/or haven't heard yet.
