2008 album of the year

It's hard to say. Black Mountain's "In The Future" has been leading all year, but of Montreal's "Skeletal lamping" is close, as are Wolf parade "At Mount Zoomer", TV on the Radio "Dear, Science", Shearwater "Rook", Bon Iver "For Emma, Forever Ago", Okkervil River "The Stand-Ins", Fleet Foxes "Fleet Foxes", M83 "Saturdays = Youth", among others.

It's been a pretty great year for music. Not nearly as good as last year, which was legendary IMHO, but better than average. 

I am shocked that no one has said Disturbed. :shock:mohan88

You shouldn't, Disturbed is far from good.

For me it's Godspeed On The Devil's Thunder by Cradle Of Filth.

Amon-Amarth

It's been a long time since I listened to CoF. I though they went downhill after 'Damnation and a Day' but gotta admit that this album is a somewhat pleasant surprise.

Honestly I think it will be Chinese Democracy

not because I am a GnR fan but because it has been 14 years since there has been a guns n roses album

and the fact that they are back....excuse me  Axl is back would justify it not to mention the album is pretty good

it has to be traced in air by cynic.LoG-Sacrament

The Sound of Madness by Shinedown

This album is an absolute masterpiece from start to finish and every song is quite varied with deep lyrics.

I'd have to agree with this, I love Shinedown.

Opeth's Watershed despite it being a more confusing entry for listeners to grasp (once you do it's just as good as the others, and miles beyond Ghost Reveries).  Bloodbath's The Fathomless Mastery is up there too.

There are some great albums this year, but this is my top 10:D

1. Dig Lazarus Dig- Nick Cave and the bad seeds

2.  Hey Venus!- THe Super furry animals

3. Not as good as the book- The Tangent

4. Pure- Pendragon

5. Happiness is the road- Marillion

6. Strangefolk- Kula Shaker

7. Diamond Hoo Ha- Supergrass

8. Seldom Seen Kid- Elbow

9. Rook- Shearwater

10. In the future- Black Mountain

Innerpartysystem - S/T

Does it Offend You, Yeah? - You Have No Idea What You're Getting Yourself Into

Dillinger Four - C I V I L W A R

Cynic - Traced in Air

Arghoslent - Hornets of the Pogrom

I forgot about another gem this year:

Alopecia by Why?

Dumb album cover, but the album is one of the best this year. 

Modern Guilt by Beck is the album of the year by FAAAAAAAAAARhillelslovak

I liked it alot more than Guero and the Infomation, but I still think Midnight Vultures and Sea Change are his best albums. 

Holographic Universe- Scar Symmetry, and Apocalyptic Feasting- Brain Drilldante_123456

That was a solid album indeed.
