2009 was just disappointing to me because so many bands I follow released material that year I simply didn't like...Weezer, Foo Fighters, DMB, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Green Day. Of course, they're all '90s bands past their prime. But I listened to albums by newer bands as well. I listened to the '09 albums from Mumford, Phoenix, and Silversun Pickups. I tried, but couldn't get into any of them. The only albums I can think from that year I like are The Resistance and Horehound.
Here's some 2009 albums that I think are great and think that they would resonate well with you to:
Honstly I feel like 2014 was a weak year, it had the heights of other years, but I don't think it had the consistancy.
How would you base consistency?
For example. I'd imagine it'd be really hard to measure the consistency of 2014 vs 1986 just based on how it's unlikely you'll take as many chances on first listens to albums from 86, since we've had nearly 3 decades to evaluate the records from that year. _________________ http://jonnyleather.com

I can't say I have enough synoptic knowledge of last year or the few years before to make the statement objectively, but having explored the top rated albums from a few publications, BEA and RYM as well as a few member's charts here, I can say I enjoyed listening to new music more in 2012 and 2013, and I find myself returning to albums from those years more often.
I can look at my top 10 of 2013 knowing they're all very solid albums in my eyes, whereas my top 10 from 2014 start to feel more awkward even by number 5.
2012 was a meh year for me. Certainly, there are many good albums, and arguably a few future classics–i.e. good kid, m.A.A.d. city, Lonerism, and Channel Orange. Other than that, I found a lot of it to be pretty forgettable. _________________ Inversion Verses
