Finally! Album of the year by far. Only a matter of time before they're over-exposed and i'll have every fucker i meet asking me if i've heard this 'wicked new band'. Sigh. |

Watershed is terrible compared to other Opeth albums. A big Disappointment IMO |
Press Junketeer Posts: 384 Joined: 3 Nov 2008 |
Oh, no, I totally agree. The thing is it is still a good album, just not up to par with their earlier works. My opinion at least. |

Although they are an indie band, they're doing wonderfully with magazines like the Rolling Stones. I've fell in love with the Fleet Foxes way before they were noticed, but I never thought they would get this high of recognition so quickly. |
Paperboy Posts: 31 Joined: 24 Jul 2008 | Seriously, No DT fans? Dream Theater - Octavarium, Systematic Chaos, or A Change of Seasons (I can't decide) Seriously, Suspyre's CD kicks any other 2008 CD to death. I don't think I listened to any other artist more than Suspyre this year. I highly recommend it. |

I was going to put Fleet Foxes in but they were just edged out by Johnny Flynn.
What a shame, then you won't be able to enjoy their music or sound cool when you tell people you like them. EDIT:
Fuck a duck! I forgot Dig was this year. Where's my list again... Frank Turner out, Nick Cave in. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1895 Joined: 22 Jul 2008   | So Long and Thanks for all the Shoes-NoFX In about that order as well. Only a few of those are recent albums, but there all ones that I've had on constantly. Seeing three of those bands live probably helped as well. |

Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 884 Joined: 19 Sep 2008   | In my previous list I forgot to mention albums that actually came out in 2008: Turbonegro - Small Feces I also find it really amusing when someone rips off Fall Out Boy, only to recommend Slipknot. |

That makes it easier, since I didn't listen to any new albums this year. Sigh - Imaginary Soniscape |

Only reason I didn't put systematic chaos up was because it was 2007 release, same with the Kamelot album (did get that in 2008 mind) |
Copy Clerk Posts: 98 Joined: 7 May 2008 |
Exactly! But no, doesn't it annoy you when you think you have a dirty little secret of an awesome band and then everyone suddenly finds them out? And it's more the annoyance that the person in question usually acts like they have. Also, over-exposure and hype has led to some pretty piss awful albums, The Strokes and Kings of Leon come to mind. Where are they supposed to take the sound they have at the moment? They certainly can't repeat it for another album. There should be a Fleet Foxes thread lol. |

Firstly, I do believe you are referring to 'The Red Album' for Weezer. |
BANNED  Posts: 814 Joined: 23 Apr 2008 | I didn't really listen to or collect any new music the last 2 years or so.

She sings so well that I don't like her!
Seriously, though, I didn't buy any albums (other than those) from 2008. My money went to buying older albums, of modern compilations of old songs (such The Who's Then And Now, which I fullheartedly recommend to anyone who likes 60s-70s rock)
