My Favorite Album of 2009
Death – …For The Whole World to See
This actually came out back in February but I didn’t hear it until October when I saw a tweet about it from Todd Bratrud that intrigued me enough to do a little click and read session. I have probably listened to it at least 5 times a week since then.
The album was recorded as a demo 35 years ago and described as:
“…a remarkable missing link between the high-energy hard rock of Detroit bands like the Stooges and MC5 from the late 1960s and early ’70s and the high-velocity assault of punk from its breakthrough years of 1976 and ’77…”
I can’t get enough. Go buy it.
