Top Ten Albums of 2008
It's that time of year again, and I've decided to repeat last year's tradition.
10. Made in the Dark - Hot Chip
9. Fasciinatiion - The Faint
8. Feed the Animals - Girl Talk
7. Ghosts I-IV - Nine Inch Nails
6. Blooddrunk - Children of Bodom
5. Watershed - Opeth
4. In the Future - Black Mountain
3. Kala - M.I.A.
2. Traced in Air - Cynic
1. The Slip - Nine Inch Nails
To be honest, I'm pretty disappointed in this year's releases. There were a lot of mediocre filler and re-releases this year. Everything in my top 10 was good, some were great and some were revolutionary (here's lookin' at you, NIN).
