| Top 10 Of 2008... Thus Far
I still need to hear Steinski, Opeth, The Bug, Shearwater and some other ones, but yep, here's my thoughts thus far. | | 1 |  | Bon Iver
For Emma, Forever Ago
Absolutely gorgeous, simple album. Favourite of the year so far. | | 2 |  | Fleet Foxes
Fleet Foxes
Really great stuff. At first I felt as though the latter half of the album dragged a bit compared to the first four songs. However the second half is growing on me more and more, Meadowlark is beautiful. | | 3 |  | The Dodos
Visiter
It's fun, unique, interesting... It's great. | | 4 | | Sigur Ros
Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust
Certainly not their best. In fact it's probably their worst after Von. Still, it's Sigur Ros, I can't help but like it. Can't wait to see these guys in Toronto. | | 5 |  | Sun Kil Moon
April
I found this album better then Ghosts of the Lost Highway. It's less repetitive and the guitar work is a little more interesting (ie. Blue Orchids).
Album holds several of many favourite tracks so far this year. (Lucky Man, Like the River, Blue Orchids.) | | 6 |  | The Flashbulb
Soundtrack to a Vacant Life
Lots of variation. Sort of a cross between Aphex Twin, Stars of the Lid and Venetian Snares. With some minimalistic instrumental features. Cool stuff | | 7 |  | Death Cab for Cutie
Narrow Stairs
Groups second best effort after Transatlanticism. Bixby Canyon Bridge is an excellent opener. | | 8 | | Islands
Arm's Way
Indie Prog? Your name isn't Colin Meloy. It's fun, and interesting. | | 9 |  | Protest the Hero
Fortress
I actually hate putting this on here. I don't really even like this album. But what can I say, it was the ninth best album I heard so far this year. | | 10 | | Kayo Dot
Blue Lambancy Downward
Epically disappointing for their standards. Still, it was good enough to round out the top ten. | |
Poet

08.26.08 | you must not have listened to music this year | FriendofTheDevil70
08.26.08 | ^you must be a metalhead, and judging by the amount of black on you pie chart, thats mostly all you listen to.
1,2,3,5, and possibly 7 will make my year end best of list. | IsItLuck?
