Best album of 2008 so far??

djfitzerjnr

i know that there hasent been many major releases yet, but so far i am thinking orson - culture vultures?!

GhostInTheRuins

I've only got one so far - Brainstorm's Downburst. Nothing spectacular, just typical Brainstorm really.

There's 4 or 5 new albums coming out in the next two months which I can't wait for, that's when it'll all kick off

+1, one of the few bands actually making the effort to do something new with rock

Caco

Type O Negative- Dead Again (Red)
I know it was originally released last year but it's just so good! (and the DVD with the re-release is awesome too!)

NIN- Ghosts is pretty cool too!

I've heard a bit of the new Porcupine Tree mini album Nil Recurring which sounds quite promising

Meshuggah - Obzen
Thinks its out today but has been around for a while. Great album.

Bunnywabbit*

Heard a bit of Oblivion Beckons, wasn't too bad....

bedlam definately. Although I'll have to give ghosts a spin

i am indeed loving it, it was worth the hour and half wait

track 28 is particularly good

Shryke

Dig!!! Lazarus Dig!!! by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds is the greatest album so far. It's such a refreshing change that it's such a solid album. Most of the music I've gotten lately has been hit and miss.

Machine Head's Blackening has been the best metal album since slayer's reign in blood.

That was released last year.

The Gutter Twins - Saturnalia is pretty rockin, as was Ginger - Market Harbour but its not as good as his Wildhearts/Super$hit 666 stuff.

Nightwish

Havent heard anything worth mentioning thus far but I am holding out for CoB's Blooddrunk which is out next month.

Karl Hungus

Meshuggah - Obzen

Pretty much the only 2008 album I bought so far though, but it is awesome none the less.

Slipknot - All Hope Is Gone

rainbow kirby

Stam1na - Raja

I definitely agree with the awesomeness. It would have probably been my choice until I got a hold of American Dream by Walls of Jericho a couple of weeks ago.

Censorsh!t

So far I've only got
Rise and Fall Rage and Grace - The Offspring
If - mindless self indulgence

The New offspring album is pretty good, could be better could be worse kinda thing...but best for me at this stage...

I just realised I completely forgot about the new In Flames album - A Sense Of Purpose. That is definitely in with a shout as well .

nyarlothothep

Bedlam in Goliath- Mars Volta, nothing has come close to it imo.

Black NG-60-90

Opeth - Watershed by far. Incredible album!

CrazyTalk

Meshuggah- ObZen
The Mars Volta- The Bedlam In Goliath
Opeth- Watershed

Praetorian

Death Magnetic me thinks

IamMetaldave

Nah it ASoP was a real let down i felt really it didnt have the production values of CC that made that ablum so good and most of the songs were drab and boring and theres only only 4 really good songs that i would listen to but even at that i wouldnt be able to describe them for the life of me as they are missing the melodic riffs that In Flames were so god damn good at.

Also 2+for DM

Shazbot

Another nod to Meshuggah - ObZen. Great album. Only other album I can think of is Opeth - Watershed.

Although The Haunted's new album is coming out soon so I'm looking forward to that.

Furious-Red

kinda different then most peoples posts but i think the new Subways album is really good. very different from there 1st.

S.I.R

no good albums yet, as the current rotation of rubbish alt. bands... well... Enough said...


hopefully gary moore will front thin lizzy and put a new album out ?

suckslikeafox

The new leak of Chinese Democracy maybe


And Death Magentic:D...and soon Black Ice, im so stoked about this album

Gonzovision

Watershed and Death Magnetic for me.
