Whats your top10 cds of 2008

Postby Codes » 12/24/2008, 12:11 pm

Mine are

10) Weezer- The red album

A few really good songs, followed by a bunch of shit, It cracked the top ten because it was at least a better attempt then the last few cds.

9) Radiohead- In Rainbows

was initially released as a digital release in 2007, with the whole pay what you want idea, but officially released on disc on January 1st of 08. This cd packs some awesome shit

8) Coldplay- Viva la Vida

Besides stealing a riff from the great one, it is an additional solid cd by one of the most popular bands out today

7) The Raconteurs- Consolers of the Lonely

A follow up to their debut, although not as enjoyable, I think for me it feels more like a White Stripes cd, which is good.

6) Disturbed- Indestructible

Disturbed keep hammering out new shit, although not as mainstream popular as their last cd, this one seems a bit more mature, and definately some of their hardest material.

5) NIN- The Slip

Not to often do NIN cds slip under the radar, no pun intended, but thats exactly what this cd did. Really awesome material from them, might be their last for a while though.

4) Protest the Hero- Fortress

Good young Canadian band, not a huge fan of the genre, but these guys can pull it off. Guitar is fucking amazing, just like on their debut cd. Might even be better then their first

3) AC/DC - Black Ice

So here is the top three, really who would have guessed we would have music from these three legends. This cd is a decent addition to the AC/DC collection. The first single pretty much proves the point though that there really isn't much change in the AC/DC camp, but I guess thats why we love them.

2) Metallica- Death Magnetic

After the shit show which was St.Anger, Metallica come back and blow the ass off of Bob rock and his cock grip. They went back to their old roots, and compiled a cd that IMO is one of their best since, well around when I was born haha.

1) Guns N' Roses- Chinese Democracy

Potentially the most Over Hyped - Under rated cd ever created. I know that sounds weird but thats what I feel haha. It took 15 years, and 14 million dollars to make it, tons of different musicians/producers/engineers/studios/ect so what are we left with? some of the best music Axl has wrote that the majority of people will never hear. It is different from past material, but at the same time it takes past elements and incorporates them.

To tell the truth, I haven't really listened to any new albums this year. I've listened to a few songs off In Rainbows and enjoyed those. The only new album I listen to frequently is Pedestrian's Sidegeist.

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

the Vampire Weekend album. golden

does it offend you, yeah? - you have no idea what you are getting yourself into
a GREAT dance album. it gets me going every time

MGMT-oracular spectacular (even though it was digitally released in 2007 and all that fun stuff. and the first half of the album is the only good stuff- but it's THAT good)

zaki ibrahim- eclectica (episodes in purple)
an AMAZING album by the most talented woman i've come across in years. check it out.

kings of leon- only by the night
dont even need to explain

jack's mannequin- the glass passenger

alkaline trio- agony & irony

black kids- partie traumatic
if you like danceish stuff, i guess like mgmt, definitely check these guys out. ive been hearing them around lately though, which is good

john mayer- where the light is
his newest live album.. i need to include it if only for the reason that 'in your atmosphere' was introduced to the world on this album. such a brilliant song
you have to, you just have to trust me
whoever i was then i can't ever be again
the faith you've found i've never felt
the terror held in wedding bells
the comfort in "there's no one else"
the truth be told, i'm never going to know
