Top 10 Albums of 2008
TheFuriousWombat:
Oh man, my mistake. I meant "pre" not "post." I'm tired methinks. I think the album bears more listens before I decide for sure how I feel about it but I feel like it lacks the emotional power and intensity of their earlier work which was initially one of the big draws for me. Somehow the songs seem like nice rock songs now and, while certainly really good ones, that's not what I love about the band.
Hljómalind:
Alright, I've changed my mind. The new Ryan Adams makes it to my top 10. But it's still not close to his best.

kinda coinciding with what's gonna be my first visit to Gainesville's The Fest, a lot of my top 10 so far is punk rock of the gruff, raw-throated variety (i guess the amount of it i've listened to this year has played a part in persuading me to part with the cash to go over the US for The Fest). i had a shortlist of about 40 albums, and although maybe 10 or so were fairly easy to get rid of, it was real fucking hard to get it down to ten. so here's my top ten of 2008 so far, plus a few special mentions that were oh-so-close to making the ten:
1. Glass and Ashes - "Glass and Ashes"
2. Ginger - "Market Harbour"
3. Dillinger Four - "C I V I L W A R"
4. Banner Pilot - "Resignation Day"
5. Off With Their Heads - "From the Bottom"
6. The Gaslight Anthem "The '59 Sound"
7. Less Than Jake - "GNV FLA"
8. Fighting With Wire - "Man Vs. Monster"
9. Anchor Arms - "Cold Blooded"
10. The Riot Before - "Fists Buried In Pockets"
Special Mentions:
Bridge and Tunnel - "East/West"
Clouds - "We Are Above You"
The Night Marchers - "See You In Magic"
Ninja Gun - "Restless Rubes"
Pendulum - "In Silico"
Rise Against - "Appeal to Reason"
Torche - "Meanderthal"

I fell kind of bad because I always mention something Skinny Puppy related here, but there need be made mention of the 2nd edition of the Subconcious Studios series From the Vault. They rock hard and are all at the top of my list.
Included are:
Doubting Thomas - The Infidel Special Edition Double CD (includes The Infidel, Father Don't Cry and 6 unreleased tracks)
Download - Furnace Special Edition Double CD (with Furnace and second disc of the original Furnace jam sessions)
Download - fIxEr
PlaTEAU - Music for Grassbars 2xLP (10 Year Special Edition)
The Tear Garden - The Secret Experiment
Hilt - Patsy/Minoot Bowl Dropped The Ball
Skinny Puppy - Back and Forth Volume Seven
Subconscious Studios - Rare (compilation)
