I'm pretty convinced I will fall in love with the Whirlwind.

In the mean time, Dear Hunter's The Tank would be my number one favorite this year.

All from the Incident:

- Black Dahlia

- Bonnie the Cat

- Blind House

- Time Flies

All from the Skye:

- Oblivion

- The Czar

- the Skye

These two albums are BY FAR the best releases of 2009 for me, and really they're all that came to mind.

Hopefully I'll be loving some new 3 soon too
