The 9th Year Of The 1st Century Of The 3rd Millenium Anno Domini
A little less than a year ago I officially declared La Dispute's Somewhere... rto be the best album rrof 2008 which led to Havey questioning my sanity and rblessing us with one of his #rare and rr#based lists. He's been urging me to rupdate my 2008 list ever since so here it goes. 90 entries rrto make it look rmore definite. All rated 3 or higher. |
| 90 |  | Narrows
Narrows
It's like metalcore and stuff so kinda bad but not really because they can jam. |
| 89 |  | Theresa Andersson
Hummingbird, Go!
Man she plays like a million instruments man this is really mindblowing man. Or at
least until you stop listening to/watching it on youtube. |
| 88 |  | Maybeshewill

| 82 |  | Suffocate For Fuck Sake
Blazing Fires and Helicopters on the Fro
There's like one and a half good tracks on here which is enough for a pretty ok album
and an incredibly inaccurate average rating on sputnik I guess. |
| 81 |  | Graham Lambkin and Jason Lescalleet
The Breadwinner
Bread is alright food |
| 80 |  | Made Out Of Babies
The Ruiner

Pretty massive compilation. Can't say I'm quite feeling it yet. There's something weird
