Best of 2009 List

Compared to previous years, I listened to much more music and tried to give more sub genres a chance to impress. I've increased the amount of albums on the list to 125 and tried to give a small review to each which took an insane amount of time to write. Also, I've changed the order so the best is at the top, so people don't have to scroll for ages to see the best albums. It was a huge challenge to try and put these in order but I gave it my best shot. So here is a list of my top 125 greatest albums from the year 2009 in approximate order of greatness:

1.Devin Townsend Project - ADDICTED!

industrial metal , metal
Devin Townsend usually makes some kind of industrial metal, and I've never really been a fan of his. I checked out this album anyway not expecting much and it really blew me away. It is still industrial metal sounding, but its as though Devin has taken the best of industrial metal and pop…

Last Saturday, I discussed the issues with the current similar artist formula...especially Metallica being top 10 in similarity with The Offspring (like what?).

Well, since then, I put my programming skills to work and well, I built a little program to test to see it would work with other artists. Results were noticed on several bands/artists as their similar artists over went a make over. However, it did lead to new problems as I tried testing it out super-mainstream acts including our favorite band...Radiohead.


Rage Against the Machine showed up as a similar artist.


...well, apparently. Radiohead's top 250 similar artists currently are all over the place in random genres. A bigger batch of similar artists would be needed to get the best results, but the question is...is my new formula better. I'm going to show you some examples of artists top 25 similar artists...before, and after. You guys make the decision.


Oh, you don't remember the formula? Very well...time for a quick summary
