Best Rock Albums in 2009, so far


I would like to nominate the album: Keep It Hid - Dan Auerbach. From 2008 I reaaly liked Only by the Night - Kings of Leon

Well that can't be, since Love and Theft was itself (yet) better than Time Out of Mind. But Together is good, huh? is it an all analog affair? I imagine not.
There is variation in SQ between songs, and a reference to Pro Tools in the notes. SQ is generally excellent. His voice holds up pretty well-- more old master than old croaker. The album has blues flourishes not heard from Dylan in a long time, and some of the best lyrics ever about the high cost of romance.
Katy Perry -- "One of the Boys"

Hot and Cold
and
I kissed a girl
are my favorite tracks.
The audio quality is very fine too -- no glare
or over-punchiness.

I also plan to pick up Lady Gaga -- The Fame (2008).

I would also recommend "No Line On The Horizon" by U2. I am a U2 fan and have been disappointed with their last two albums, but "No Line...." is great.

Good music but terrible recording. Have you guys managed to crank up the volume and listen at moderate to high volume levels say 75dB? I am disappointed of not being able to enjoy my favourite track "Magnificent" on the CD that lasted less than 5 minutes in the player. I am not sure whether it would go back into the CDP after the disastrous outcome.
