| Playing Catch Up
With everyone making 2008 lists I figured I needed to play some catch up and acquaint myself with more stuff from this year. Heard about 60+ now, pays to keep my ear on the ground. | | 1 | | Forgive Durden
Razia's Shadow: A Musical
Pop-punk swing at high culture? This is a really cute album, falls flat a bit, but a nice listen if you're in the mood. | | 2 |  | Fall Out Boy
Infinity On High
No really, this is good. | | 3 | | Panic At The Disco
A Fever You Can't Sweat Out
This is not so good. | | 4 |  | Carcass
Heartwork
F'ucking hectic, it's like melodicsh-grindish death or somewhere in between. Still got the solos to mark it as old school, but a solid as hell release, took me too long to check this out. | | 5 |  | Lykathea Aflame
Elvenefris
Another one I've been meaning to get my hands on this for Waaay to long, I love it when tech death is done well, and my gosh is it done well here. | | 6 |  | Bad Brains
Bad Brains
Another wicked hardcore record, except done with hits of dub and raggae. Wat? | | 7 |  | Circa Survive
On Letting Go
Eh, I only checked this out 'cause Anthony Green was in here and it was exactly what I expected. Nothing all that exciting at all, but theres nothing particulalry wrong with it either. | | 8 |  | Los Campesinos!
We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed
It's like if Bloc Party got really really loose and changed their image completely. This is actually really cool. | | 9 |  | Deerhunter
Microcastle
Great little album, airy indie melodies all around, I just wish it had a bit more power to it. | | 10 |  | Shugo Tokumaru
Exit
Cute happy Japanese indie, I like it, but I need to listen to this more. | | 11 |  | Adebisi Shank
This Is The Album Of A Band Called Adebisi Shank
Amazing record, I absolutely love this, it's math rock, but so much fun. | | 12 |  | Pivot
O Soundtrack My Heart
Aussie Math-rock, these guys are technically on point, but know how to write great songs at the same time. | | 13 |  | Lights Out Asia
Eyes Like Brontide
This was exactly as I expected it to be, stretched out soundscapes, all very prettily done. | | 14 |  | Jakob
Solace
Awesome post-rock in the vein of Pg.Lost and Meniscus. | | 15 |  | Aussitot Mort
Montuenga
This is good yes, but I'm *this* close be being completely over euro-Skramz. | |
StreetlightRock
11.03.08 | Yes, I did put Carcass and FOB on the same list. | Baphomet
11.03.08 | A brave thing to do, my firend... | StreetlightRock
11.03.08 | Heh, I actually got it, just haven't given it a decent listen yet. |
