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'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? …
    • Microsoft Teams gets smarter at spotting sneaky meeting bots by Usama Jawad Microsoft Teams is set to receive a couple of new features soon, including a dedicated Recap app and a rather controversial location tracking functionality. The Redmond tech giant has also explained how it has made online communication and collaboration a lot more performant this year. Now, the company has detailed more secure bot admission mechanisms, as first reported by us in March 2026, and now available in Teams. As the use of AI has expanded across enterprise environments, Microsoft has begun allowing users to integrate bots into their meetings for various tasks, such as note-taking. While this has a tangible productivity benefit for users, Microsoft has highlighted how misconfiguration has allowed bots to join meetings that they shouldn't. This has created security and privacy risks, which Microsoft is now combating using a new Teams admin policy that allows organizers to control how external bots access meetings. Admins can leverage a policy called Manage external bots and their access to meetings. The default configuration is "When detected, require approval before joining", which places detected bots in a lobby before they are explicitly admitted into the meeting. The other option disables the experience. Microsoft has also requested admins to only allow organizers and co-organizers to manage access to a meeting, so that other people don't randomly allow bots into meetings. Teams will now be able to leverage infrastructure signals to intelligently detect and distinguish between bots and humans. Microsoft will soon also trial a registration experience for independent software vendors (ISVs) to build a system that registers a bot with Microsoft, so it is marked as a "known" bot. Teams will also categorize bots as trusted and suspected threats so that organizers can quickly identify which bots they want to allow into a meeting. Additional safeguards to block accidental admission of a bot into a meeting include: No one-click Admit option for identified bots Confirmation prompts when admitting participants that include bots Warnings when organizers choose Admit all, and bots are included Microsoft has begun rolling out this experience, and it will be retiring the current CAPTCHA verification implementation. In the future, the company plans to roll out new capabilities like allow-lists, organization-wide policies, admin reports, audit logs, and more granular controls.
    • With the current hardware prices Microsoft should lift the restriction. Then if you have the correct TPM then allow you to use X feature, if you don't have the correct TPM then don't but still actually let you run windows. 11. With a disclaimer during install that X features would be unavailable.
