The best album of 2008


Recommended Posts

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...

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 :)

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:

I know the feeling. 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.

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.

My list:

  • Metallica - Death Magnetic
  • Guns N' Roses - Chinese Democracy
  • Blue Stahli - Antisleep Vol. 01 (It's a free download! :) http://www.fixtstore.com/page/3/freestuff )
  • Celldweller - Soundtrack for the Voices in My Head Vol. 01 (Again, a free download! :) Go to the same place as the Blue Stahli album)
  • Disturbed - Indestructible
  • Feeder - Silent Cry
  • Innerpartysystem
  • Nickelback - Dark Horse

My top 5 albums of 2008 are:

  1. Metallica - Death Magnetic
  2. Guns N' Roses - Chinese Democracy
  3. Innerpartysystem
  4. Nickelback - Dark Horse
  5. Blue Stahli - Antisleep Vol. 01

    • I like Tidal, but it still does not control devices from the mobile/app and still no surround support. And yeah re: above comment I still get a lot of network errors and I am on a 4/4 Gbit Fiber connection.
    • Aren`t "security features" and "AI model that can see your screen" a tad diametric!
    • Samsung, Amazon extend 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD deal beyond Prime Day 2026 by Sayan Sen Recently, we had Amazon's Prime Day 2026 sales wherein there were several great deals including on SSDs. One of those discounted components was the Samsung 990 PRO SSD as the 2TB variant of it was selling for $370, a very good price after a long time. Although that deal was supposed to expire today, Amazon has now extended that sale further (purchase link under the specs table down below). The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $400. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The technical specs of the Samsung 990 PRO 2TB are given in the table below: Specification Value Form Factor M.2 2280 Interface PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 NAND Flash Samsung V-NAND TLC Controller Samsung In-house Controller Cache Memory Samsung 2GB Low Power DDR4 SDRAM Sequential Read Speed Up to 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write Speed Up to 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4KB, QD32) Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4KB, QD32) Up to 1,550,000 IOPS Random Read (4KB, QD1) Up to 22,000 IOPS Random Write (4KB, QD1) Up to 80,000 IOPS Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C Reliability (MTBF) 1.5 Million Hours Endurance 1,200 TBW (Total Bytes Written) Get it at the link below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB NVMe SSD (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Glad im on the right boat. Tidal has lots of issues in terms of app and music mix, its worst than spot but its honest. Spot algo is very tendentious and they pess less to artists, so im comfortable with the tidal errors, for now.
