So here we are at the Top 10 of 2010. The best of the best. If your favorite cds of this year aren't in this list of 10, than they're more than likely INFERIOR.
Kidding. Or am I?

Holy HELL, what am I hearing here?
It's like Envy and Taken formed into one powerfully emotional and epic force. Some may call this CD cliche or it's already been done before (Envy again, Funeral Diner, etc), but sometimes that doesn't matter to me, as long as the songs are affective and are written well, and on An Age Among Them, they definitely are.
This record is also incredibly consistent throughout. One first few listens the immediate mind blowers like "Sol Winds" and "Past Maidens" stick out, but after more spins, songs like "This is Our View" and the strong finisher "The Gates" begin to shine.
The tone on this album is fantastic as well. One moment it could sound blatantly like a post-rock band, and then the next it's crushing you with bass distortion and crunchy guitars, ala post-metal.
This is one of the greater underrated CDs of this year. Listen to this if you haven't or listen AGAIN if you're neglecting it.
