Scott's Top 10 Albums of 2009: Number 2


2. Phoenix - Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix

Listening to this album walking through the airport will make you feel like a badass.* Living up to it's lofty title, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix is a masterfully composed album. Definitely the most "pop" album on my list, the band from France delivers 10 precise, well crafted songs. Frontman Thomas Mars' vocals provide the cohesion for most of the tracks, but the instrumentation is what makes this album special. Tight drums, innovative guitar licks, and atmospheric synths make this the album The Strokes wish they could still make.
*Seriously, try it.
