Syanide Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 So, what's yours? I didn't really get the chance to listen to a lot of stuff, but I'd have to say Bloc Party - Intimacy, if for nothing else, then "Flux" video :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/718336-the-best-album-of-2008/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syanide Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 Out of those posted so far, I've heard Rise Against and Metallica. I was never a Metallica fan, but Rise Against seemed kind of meh... I need to give it more time, but the only song that stood out was Entertainment, and I didn't really like the subject...

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted January 6, 2009 Veteran Share Posted January 6, 2009 My top albums would probably be.. 36 Crazyfists - The Tide And Its Takers Metallica - Death Magnetic AC/DC - Black Ice Meshuggah - obZen Ill Nino - Enigma In Flames - A Sense Of Purpose MGMT - Oracular Spectacular Gnarls Barkley - The Odd Couple Deftones - Eros would be on my list no doubt if it wasn't for the delays & Chi's crash :( Music event was T in the Park where I saw Rage Against The Machine play :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/718336-the-best-album-of-2008/#findComment-590374058 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syanide Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 Deftones - Eros would be on my list no doubt if it wasn't for the delays & Chi's crash :( I feel so bad for him, so long and still the same condition :( I follow updates on another forum, and it's come to the point where people are getting afraid when a new update pops up because they fear for the worst. Deftones wouldn't be the same without Chi... :no: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/718336-the-best-album-of-2008/#findComment-590374122 Share on other sites More sharing options...

As sure as I am he will make a full recovery, I can't help fearing the worst sometimes when reading the Deftones blog. It definitely sounds like he is fighting and making a strong recovery from the wording in the latest entry.. On that note, Chi's condition still remains about the same. I wish I could elaborate, but there's not to much to add at this time, other than I know he's ****ed and wants the f*** outta' that hospital......................for real, this I know.

DomZ Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 For me its Kids In Glass Houses - Smart Casual, but most people wouldn't have heard of them I imagine. As some people above have mentioned: Foals - Antidotes Kings of Leon - Only by the Night Also I was pleasantly impressed with the new Fall Out Boy album.
