Yesterday morning, I was having a conversation with my friends Ian and Arsenio at Digg about our favorite albums of 2009. I realized that I've never taken the time to make a list of my favorite music from a particular year, considering how much I tend to tweet about what I'm listening to. So, without further adieu - my 10 favorite albums of 2009 (in no particular order), with links to my favorite tracks.

Suicide Silence - No Time To Bleed
Converge - Axe to Fall
Irepress - Sol Eye Sea I
