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 to reminisce about the good old days, way back in autumn 2025 when building a gaming machine was fun and the drives were about $150 when you caught a deal. Yes duh, back in the day we had it gone. Then baby Skynet came along, hiding in AI datacenters demanding more processing power until it reached singularity. End of a not totally fictional story.
    • My experience in the past with older Windows 11 builds was not great on unsupported machines but I recently used Rufus to put the latest build on a older 5th Gen Core Thinkpad T that we upgraded with a SATA SSD and 8GB of RAM four years ago when hardware was reasonable and it seemed pretty fast and solid. Customer is very happy with the performance and will probably get four more years out of that venerable laptop that he loves so much. Another customer just retired his Dell Studio laptop from 2009 running Windows 10. It got an SSD over 10 years ago and did everything he needed it to for 17 years but he also retired last year and is happy doing everything on his iPad now.
    • Apple's newest AirTag 2 gets first big discount by Taras Buria In late January 2026, Apple introduced its second-generation AirTag trackers, bringing a refresh to the old model that has been on the market for half a decade. Now, you can get these new trackers at an all-time low price, thanks to the first big discount that brought the price down by 17% on Amazon. While the second-generation AirTag looks identical to its predecessor, it packs meaningful upgrades inside. The second-gen ultrawideband chip works 50% farther than the original AirTag, allowing you to detect lost items in a wider range. In addition, the second-generation AirTag features an upgraded Bluetooth chip for extended range and a significantly louder speaker (up to 50%) so that you can hear it better when locating a lost item. Note that the second-gen AirTag only works with iPhones and iPads that run iOS/iPadOS 26 and newer, so you need a compatible device to use the tracker. Like the original AirTag, the AirTag 2 is available in two packs: one and four pieces. Both are now available at a notable discount on Amazon, and you can purchase them using the links below. Apple AirTag 2 tracker - $24 | 17% off on Amazon Apple AirTag 2 tracker (four-pack) - $89 | 10% off on Amazon Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S.- specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • I've been on Deezer for over a decade, but glad that Tidal joined them in fighting AI slop. Can't stand such takes as Spotify's: "Spotify's CEO recently pushed back against listeners who call AI music "slop," urging people to stop using the term and instead embrace the creative potential of AI music."
    • “Could” … in the IS the healthcare is run by insurance companies that make indecent profits denying basic treatments to people that are paying money for nothing. Besides, where are all the Trump epigones who were stating that the tariffs were going to paid by foreign companies and not the US citizens? …
