my personal album of the year
House vs. Hurricane - Perspectives
I spent about 2200 minutes listening to this album over the last 12-months.
i wish i knew how i could describe this.
I've always known this band had a sound that appeals to a younger audience. For me hardcore was the 2nd last stepping stone into the world of music. I started listening to punk in grade 9, to hardcore in grade 10, and metal starting around grade 11. I listened to A LOT of metal over the next few years. That was my first foundation into a specific genre. Eventually I started to branch off into a lot of different tastes. Since then i haven't stopped discovering new music. Last year i can remember getting back into hardcore. Listening to all the stuff i used to, and finding new stuff progressively. So I love hardcore, what can i say.
This album is a post-hardcore album. It's very original. All i can pick out is the styles of music they borrow from it. The way the keyboards work with the music is something i haven't heard done this well by people so young. they keys are very trancelike voices, which is pretty widely used by other bands which might be classified as the same genre (i won't get into that right now). The songs are pretty much all exceptionally written.
I wouldn't even recommend this to anyone because it was perfect for me. well in reality i also don't think anyone would really like them.

album of the year honorable mention
Merchant Ships - For Cameron
screamo with a midwest feel (cleaner/mathier guitars and shouting/yelling/group vocals). their older stuff is even more midwest oriented, but this album has a great balance between the two.
GOOD FUCKING STUFF! it makes me be happy to be alive.

album of the year honorable mention runner up
The Seven Fields of Aphelion - Periphery
nice ambient album. modern, and sounds like it was made by someone who likes pretty indie music.
