My Favorite 19 Albums of 2019

 

1. STRUNG OUT - SONGS OF ARMOR AND DEVOTION 

1. Ulysses, 2. Strange Notes, 3. Bloody Knuckles

If you ask me we ain't got much time
So excuse the mess
it's just pictures in my mind
I need to show you
I need to show you
So you understand 

 

2. BLEACHED - DON'T YOU THINK YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH?

1. Rebound City, 2. Somebody Dial 911, 3. Heartbeat Away

You're more fun to be around
Higher than the clouds
Nod out on the couch
Saying such sweet things to me
When you're swimming in dopamine

 

3. RIVAL SONS - FERAL ROOTS 

  

1. Do Your Worst, 2. Sugar On The Bone, 3. Too Bad

I know you better than you think I do
You could've stuck with me, but a girl's got to do what she has to
But every now and then my name passes your lips
Your late night strolls down memory lane on your fingertips

4. PIXIES - BENEATH THE EYRIE

1. Daniel Boone, 2. On Graveyard Hill, 3. Long Rider

Last night I was driving around
Nothing to do
Thinking of you
I sighted here on the bend
Reindeer and then it was through

  

5. THE WILDHEARTS - RENAISSANCE MEN

  1. My Kinda Movie, 2. Dislocated, 3. The Renaissance Men

If I'm pacing up and down your hall
And if I'm casting shadows on your wall
Don't let my proximity mean what it may imply
I'm just working on a way to say goodbye 

 

 6. BETTER OBLIVION COMMUNITY CENTER - S/T

1. Sleepwalkin', 2. Dylan Thomas, 3. Service Road

You like beer and chocolate

I like setting off those bottlerockets

 

7. MICHAEL MONROE - ONE MAN GANG 

1. Last Train To Tokyo, 2. One Man Gang, 3. Black Ties And Red Tape

 From the heart of the city
to the out-of-the-way
Everybody's pissing on their own parade
But I'm a one man gang
and I'm runnin' on that P.M.A.

 

8. BAD RELIGION - AGE OF UNREASON

1. My Sanity, 2. Candidate, 3. Age Of Unreason

Hey kids on the right and left

Do you feel dispossessed?

If you're on the left or right 

I feel your pain tonight

So shake off reality it's as easy as you please

Soon everyone is dancing con-spir-a-tor-i-a-lly 

 

9. L.A. GUNS - THE DEVIL YOU KNOW

1. The Devil You Know, 2. Rage, 3. Stay Away

I got plenty of time

You got a fuckin' rock you live under

I am a zen motherfucker

You are rage

  

10. SNUFF - THERE'S A LOT OF IT ABOUT

1. Patient Zero, 2. Bob's Song, 3. Summer's Over

 A shark's a shark and sharks get hungry
I'll dress for lunch
See you next Tuesday

 

  

11. SUM 41 - ORDER IN DECLINE

1. Out For Blood, 2. A Death In The Family, 3. Heads Will Roll  

I believe that I am losing faith
in all of human kind
But then I realize it's plain to see
that a number is just all you are to me

 

12. THE SUBJUNCTIVES - SUNSHINE AND RAINBOWS

 Hey Dad
Where's Mom?
She's gone dancing again

  

13. BLINK-182 - NINE

1. No Heart To Speak Of, 2. Darkside, 3. Black Rain  

Lying on the bedroom floor
Hanging on the words that you said before
No heart, no heart to speak of

 

14. THE DARKNESS - EASTER IS CANCELLED

1. Heart Explodes, 2. Easter Is Cancelled, 3. In Another Life

Take me to the open road
Run until my heart explodes
Take me to the open road
Or give me back the love I'm owed

 

  15. IDA MAE - CHASING LIGHTS

 1. Baby Be Mine, 2. Chasing Lights, 3. Love Is Still A Long Road

One day honey when we're free and clean
with a baby on the backseat like a jellybean 
You won't remember when you wanted more
or the shadows cooking at the kitchen door

  

16. DAVE HAUSE - KICK

1. Bearing Down, 2. Fireflies, 3. Eye Aye I

 I see you shining in the sun again and I know
For the first time in forever I'm certain I can't go
You're the one I want to wither with
I want to see you when you're old
And be the one to keep you warm when the world turns cold


 

 17. SACRED REICH - AWAKENING

1. Manifest Reality, 2. Something To Believe, 3. Awakening 

Give me something to believe
Give me something I can see
 



 18. MASKED INTRUDER - III

1. Stay With Me Tonight, 2. Just So You Know, 3. No Case

But he's lying next to you, I'm in the treehouse outside
He gets to hold you whenever he wants to
I sleep alone all night



 

19. 24-7 SPYZ - SOUNDTRACK TO THE INNERMOST GALAXY 
  
1. Anthem, 2. Repeating Myself, 3. Thank You 

 On top of the game as they always did
bringing that noise man I'm loving it
All around the world they got it goin' on
Heavy Metal Soul pioneers from the boogie down Bronx
Spyz 24-7 
365 from '86 to the present
