Notable Releases Of 2009

The decade isn’t over, man! Not till 2011!!
I hear year end reviews, decade end reviews, best ofs, worst ofs coming from every movie, music, television, and print outlet there is. I believe Rolling Stone picked U2 for album and song of the year, which was very predictable. I expect more out of them, but am not surprised in the least. I’ll just lay out some notable releases I’ve enjoyed in 2009 (in no particular order):
