Alright, guys. I’m on hour five of staring at my computer screen (hooray paper writing season in the PoliSci department!), but I feel like I’m somewhat prepared for the rundown of the ten best metal albums of 2009. If this is incoherent, I apologize. But then again, no one reads this anyway.
Actually, looking at the list I have in front of me, it’s absolutely impossible to cut this list down to ten. I have finished on twelve and will be presenting that. Suck it, what I said in the past.
