BD Music Best Of 2010: Jonny B’s Picks

Published

So, we’re at the end of another year and we here at Bloody-Disgusting love sharing our favorites (and our most hated) of the past year with you. So, I decided to put together a list of some of my favorite releases of the past year. Here’s the catch: I only used albums or songs from albums I reviewed in 2010. So, check after the jump for my “Best of 2010”!

Best “Get Me Pumped Up” Song
Soilwork – Late for the Kill, Early for the Slaughter
Runner up: Nevermore – The Obsidian Conspiracy
The chorus for ‘Late For The Kill, Early For The Slaughter’ nearly got me pulled over for speeding. I think I topped out at 100mph on the freeway. 
As for ‘The Obsidian Conspiracy’, try listening to the first 30 seconds and not getting pumped up. I dare you. 
Best “Album To Get Busy To”
You all know what I’m talking about. And if you don’t, go ask mommy and daddy to tell you about the birds and the bees. These two albums side by side would probably cause my hips to break ::hint hint::
Song of the Year:
Karnivool – New Day
Quick disclaimer: I know that this album came out in 2009, but it only received a Stateside release in 2010, thereby allowing me to include it in this list.
This song exemplifies how to properly build up a song from beginning to end, passage to passage. Starting with guitars and vocals only, the song segues into a simple yet driving bass line with focused, rim-shot drums. Each transition afterwards is a logical step forward that plays perfectly to the previous passage. When Ian Kenny triumphantly cries, “I’ve been waiting my whole life!” at 6:50 never ceases to give me goosebumps. To get the full effect, you need to wear your best headphones or put this on a great sound system with the volume a few notches below the pain threshold. And last thing: don’t let anything interrupt this 8:21. This is a song that needs to be heard from beginning to end without pause.
Album of the Year:
This one is a little bit of a stretch as it’s technically not a full-length album. However, it’s also the most cohesive and well arranged album I’ve heard this year. Basically one long song, ‘Concealing Fate’ is an album that hasn’t left my car stereo since I got it. 
2011 Most Anticipated Albums
TesseracT – One
The Haunted – Unseen
So, by now you probably realize how much I love TesseracT so instead I’ll explain that I LOVE The Haunted. ‘Versus’ took some time to grow on me but ‘The Dead Eye’ was a CD that I barely stopped listening to for six months after it’s release. So when a new The Haunted album is announced, my loins go aquiver and my blood starts pumping.

A Halloween classic turns 60 this October, and Craft Recordings is celebrating with a special limited edition vinyl release for Peanuts special “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown”.

Arriving August 7 and available to pre-order today, this anniversary reissue comes pressed on an eye-catching 45 RPM zoetrope LP, featuring memorable scenes from the special on each side, plus a new essay from Sean Mendelson.

Get a peek at the cool new release below.

The release features Vince Guaraldi‘s jazzy score, including favorites like “The Great Pumpkin Waltz,” “Graveyard Theme,” and, of course, the iconic “Linus and Lucy.”

After its first official release in 2018 and rerelease upon the discovery of the original master tapes in 2022, the soundtrack returns to vinyl in its entirety, alongside a selection of rare outtakes.

If the zoetrope LP isn’t enticing enough, look for a variety of limited-edition Halloween treats that can be found at exclusive retail partners, including an Orange 4-inch Tiny Vinyl (Target) available starting July 17, featuring “The Great Pumpkin Waltz” on Side A and “Graveyard Theme” on Side B. Pumpkin-shaped pressings will also be available in exclusive colorways from August 21st, including Electric Pumpkin Patch (Barnes & Noble), Pumpkin Spice (Walmart), Ghost White (Target), and Candy Corn (Craft Recordings). Additionally, the Orange Pumpkin pressing will be back by popular demand at all major retailers.

In the 1966 animated special, the Peanuts gang celebrates Halloween. Linus hopes that he will finally be visited by The Great Pumpkin, while Charlie Brown is invited to a Halloween party.
