Favourite music album of 2008

[absolutely]

Hot Chip - Made in the Dark.
It picks me up when I need it, a modern Kraftwerk?

[evenflow]

Death Magnetic by Metallica for me too, although I am looking forward to Chinese Democracy come Monday. Haven't heard it yet.

[MonkeyBusiness]

Eclipse - Are you ready to rock.

The album Europe should have recording.

Nickelback - Dark Horse for me...

I find Nickleback the most bland, boring, hideous music on the market.

That pleases me

I'm tired and having trouble spotting irony.

I found 2008 to be a little thin on good new material.

Did like the new God Is An Astronaut disc.

But the highlight for me was 'The 13th Star' by Fish.

Can I answer this on monday? Because judging from what I've heard so far, I'm hoping I'll be able to say Chinese Democracy by Guns n' Roses

A friend has a copy. Very disappointed. I've not heard it myself yet though.

There was a big we hate Nickelback thread on when Rockstar was out - I was hoping for a flaming, but PH let me down

Barstewards.

I even asked for the thread not to be moved in the OP!

[gmk666]

Elbow
Kings of Leon (Even though it does tail off a bit)
The Last Shadow Puppets as well.

[PulsatingStar]

Septic Flesh - Communion
Amon Amarth - Twilight of the Thunder God

Cant decide between them (or give good reasons lol, I just feel the need to recommend some metal)

[Mattygooner]

Elbow
Kings of Leon

+8..or 9 not sure now.

[JaymzDead]

Metallica - Death Magnetic
Ihsahn - aNgl
Opeth - Watershed
Unearth - The March

Really can't decide between these 4. I would guess the new Cynic album will be on the list too once I've heard it, judging by the reaction thus far on other forums.

[oh feck]

Kings of leon and The subways - all or nothing

[dan101smith]

Massively disappointed by the Kings of Leon album. It's like one track stretched over a whole album, never really gets going.

Actually 2008 hasn't been a great year for albums. The new Sigur Ros album wasn't what I'd hoped either.

I really liked Metalica - Death Magnetic, im not usually in to metal like that but this album is very good!

Death Magnetic is indeed very good, was a great return to form for the 'Tallica IMO!

AC/DC's Black Ice deserves a mention too, 'tis rockin'!

TBH i very rarely buy brand new albums anymore unless they are by an established artist i enjoy!...

Is it worth a purchase then? Similar to older stuff of theirs?

Definately. Good comeback album from rock 'n roll masters.

Which reminds me, whatever happened to that bass player kiddie (whose username escapes me) on here? He liked Nickelback alittle too much.




He was ace.

it is indeed!

and yes, a good majority of it does sound very reminiscent of the older material so its still very much a proper Acca Dacca album
"Skies On Fire" is a standout track on it for me, quite reminiscent of the melodic "Gone Shootin'" from Powerage tempo IMO
