December 21, 200817 yr "The Skull Collectors" by Hibria is definitely my favourite album of the year. I actually prefer it to their debut.
December 28, 200817 yr My favourites this year, in no particular order The Academy Is... - Fast Times At Barrington High Airbourne - Runnin' Wild Death Cab For Cutie - Narrow Stairs Every Avenue - Shh. Just Go With It. Fall Of Troy - Phantom On The Horizon EP Four Year Strong - Rise Or Die Trying Kids In Glass Houses - Smart Casual The Maine - Can't Stop Won't Stop Paramore - The Final Riot! The Pink Spiders - Sweat It Out Secret Lives! of the Freemasons - Weekend Warriors We The Kings - Secret Valentine EP Those are all good but I wouldn't say any stood out as my favourite. The Pink Spiders and Paramore are my most-played albums from this year according to Last FM Wasn't impressed by Cute Is What We Aim For - Rotation. Thought that was rubbish, compared to Same Old Blood Rush And AC/DC surprised me, was surprised that a 60-year-old man still felt the need to dress as a schoolchild. I love Angus Young, but man you look like a paedophile... Wasn't too keen on Black Ice either, that was alright but not as good as it was supposed to be Maxed 15/06/13
December 28, 200817 yr When every man is torn apartWith nightmares and with dreamsWill no one lay the laurel wreathWhen silence drowns the screams?
December 28, 200817 yr How'd I forget M83? When every man is torn apartWith nightmares and with dreamsWill no one lay the laurel wreathWhen silence drowns the screams?
December 28, 200817 yr Fall of Troy's Phantom on the Horizon. I haven't listened to anything else new this year.
December 28, 200817 yr Children of Bodom's Blooddrunk was awfully disappointing. Metal fans, check out my band!Still the King....
December 29, 200817 yr Favourites this year:Kings of Leon - Only by the night Metallica - Death Magnetic Although i have listened to a lot more music this year that i maybe wouldn't have gave a chance before and found a lot of new (to me at least) bands/artists i like, so '08 was a good music year pour moi. It isn't in the castle, It isn't in the mist, It's a calling of the waters, As they break to show, The new Black Death, With reactors aglow, Do you think your security, Can keep you in purity, You will not shake us off above or belowScottish frictionScottish fiction
December 29, 200817 yr I haven't bought many albums this year, in fact I bought no new rock albums at all. It was a pretty hip hop year for me album wise I liked; Nas - Untitled Even as a Nas fan, after all the controversy about naming the album I was ready for a weak album to be honest but instead it was pretty good. Q-Tip - The Renaissance I like Q-Tip both as a solo artist and as a member of A Tribe Called Quest, the album is exactly what you want/expect from him - a smooth, quirky hip hop record that doesn't follow the normal rap formula. Q-Tip - Kamaal The Abstract It wasn't recorded or released this year but I discovered it this year. Q-Tip's label has it shelved as they don't know how to market it so it is only available illegally because of this (it was sent out to journalists for reviews) but I would pay for it if it is ever released properly. It sounds a bit like some of Outkast's music at times. On the other hand I found Kanye West's album disapointing generally (although 1 or 2 tracks do stand out) and Lil Wayne's much hyped album was just junk (minus Dr Carter). I haven't had time to get/listen to Guns N Roses new album but I'm not too keen on the single so I'm not to enthusiastic to be honest. He who learns must suffer, and, even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart,and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God. - Aeschylus (525 BC - 456 BC)

It was a pretty hip hop year for me album wise I liked; Nas - Untitled Even as a Nas fan, after all the controversy about naming the album I was ready for a weak album to be honest but instead it was pretty good. Really? All of the reviews I read said it was horrible. But, really, the only worthwhile Nas album I've listened to has been Illmatic. Q-Tip - The Renaissance I like Q-Tip both as a solo artist and as a member of A Tribe Called Quest, the album is exactly what you want/expect from him - a smooth, quirky hip hop record that doesn't follow the normal rap formula. As a fan of Q-Tip and ATCQ, I'll check this out. On the other hand I found Kanye West's album disapointing generally (although 1 or 2 tracks do stand out) and Lil Wayne's much hyped album was just junk (minus Dr Carter). What were you expecting? :P When every man is torn apartWith nightmares and with dreamsWill no one lay the laurel wreathWhen silence drowns the screams?

All of the reviews I read said it was horrible. But, really, the only worthwhile Nas album I've listened to has been Illmatic. It's not on a level with Illmatic (no other hip hip album is) or even It Was Written but I like Nas and his style so I liked it, it's a quite political for Nas, a real love it or hate it album in my opinion. On the other hand I found Kanye West's album disapointing generally (although 1 or 2 tracks do stand out) and Lil Wayne's much hyped album was just junk (minus Dr Carter). What were you expecting? :P I forgot to say about Kanye West's album that I really loved what he did with the big drums throughout the album, a tiny redeeming feature but it still wasn't enough to save the album. Hopefully he can return to form for his next album.

December 29, 200817 yr (no other hip hip album is) This I can agree with. Actually, no. The Low End Theory is Illmatic's one and only peer, and I doubt I'll ever listen to a hip-hop album that will surpass them. When every man is torn apartWith nightmares and with dreamsWill no one lay the laurel wreathWhen silence drowns the screams?
December 29, 200817 yr The only CD I bought this year that was made this year was The Best of Iron Maiden... I listened to Death Magnetic, it was alright, the singer just can't sing anymore...
December 29, 200817 yr The only CD I bought this year that was made this year was The Best of Iron Maiden... I listened to Death Magnetic, it was alright, the singer just can't sing anymore... Or, he can sing well. He just can't scream anymore; Seeing as early Metallica vocals pretty much were screaming... I painted some stuff and put it on tumblr
January 4, 200917 yr 2008 was a bad year for music. The only good things that came out (in my opinion; go suck it.) were: In The City (album) - Kevin Rudolf Songs from the Underground (EP) - Linkin Park Live at Milton Keynes (DVD) - Linkin Park Cookie Jar (Single) - Gym Class Heroes *sigh* Only fear God,Know the weapons of the weak,The weakness of the hard.

January 4, 200917 yr Hrm. I really enjoyed Atmosphere's 'When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That [cabbage] Gold'. ... Will update later. =D sleep like dead men wake up like dead men
January 4, 200917 yr I was really happy with the Disturbed album, but at the same time was disappointed by Death Magnetic and the song, Chinese Democracy. The code in my sig should say 1032 not 0132.
January 6, 200917 yr Here's the music i have from 2008: . Metallica - Death Magnetic ( Decent album ). . Draconian - Turning Season Within ( Excellent ). . Qntal - Qntal VI: Translucida ( I'm not a big fan of their music but i liked a lot this album). . Siebenbürgen - Revelation VI ( I just discovered this band and i am really amazed ). That's practically all the music i have from 2008. Many of the realizes from the past year didn't caught my attention though.
January 7, 200917 yr My Top 10 would be: 1. Radiohead - In Rainbows (The digital release was 2007 but the physical cd was released 2008) 2. The Killers - Day & Age 3. Mother Mother - O My Heart 4. Coldplay - Viva la Vida 5. Elbow - The Seldom Seen Kid 6. Neon Neon - Stainless Style 7. Kanye West - 808 & Heartbreak 8. Hot Chip - Made in the Dark 9. Dear Science - TV on the Radio 10. Cold War Kids - Loyalty to Loyalty
