Overlooked in 2009: 16. DeVries – “Death To God”

I’ve decided to list 25 albums that will get shafted/overlooked on this 2009′s Best Albums of the Year Lists.

Check back each day for a new addition to the list. (no particular order)

16. DeVries – Death To God

mp3: deVries – “Darkest Summer”

Stone Roses made one great record, but that record continues its legacy as one of the most influential to ever be made by a British band. The minute I heard DeVries’ Death To God, I couldn’t help but hear Stone Roses. Death to God is darker and draws from quite a few other influences like Ride and T Rex, but the Stone Roses link is the most apparent. Despite a bunch of 2009′s bigger bands like Pains of Being Pure at Heart and The Big Pink being heavily influenced by the same sounds, DeVries has gone unnoticed so far despite having released this incredible record.
