| Year's End
As the year draws to a close, it's now time for me to start scrambling around the interweb to find albums that I've missed out on/forgotten to look into, not only for the purpose of finding some great music, but to get a more comprehensive view of how 2008 really was as far as great music. This is a list of the albums I've managed to get over the past week and a half, and it's sure to grow over the next couple of weeks we have left. Not to sure which of these will make my final year's end list but I have a pretty good feeling about some of them (one of them will probably go on my worst sadly). NOTE: most of these albums will be of the "underground" variety for the sole purpose that they are a bit of a pain to get when you don't have things like winRAR to open those types of files...ANOTHER NOTE: feel free to recommend some other albums from this year that I may have missed. | | 1 |  | Daitro / Sed Non Satiata
Split
I don't have much to say other than wow. | | 2 |  | Skepticism
Alloy
Normally funeral doom albums bore me to death (lol), but there's just something about this album, I can't really explain it, I just can't help but get drawn into it. | | 3 |  | Anathema
Hindsight
Don't really know what to say other than I liked almost everything about it. | | 4 |  | Grouper
Dragging a Dead Deer up a Hill
Same as 3. | | 5 |  | Thrice
The Alchemy Index Vols. III and IV...
I was a bit let down by Vols. I & II, and it made me a bit skeptical as to the quality of III & IV. The first few times through this disc for some reason, I just kept thinking disappointing things were around the corner in every song and it sort of ruined the experience. Thankfully, after a few more listens those feelings went away, and the album really is quite solid. | | 6 |  | Opeth
Watershed
At first, liked it. Then it grew off me. Then I liked it again, but not as much. Then I thought a few of the songs just sucked. Then I started liking those songs again...long story short after quite a rocky road, it's definitely one of the year's better metal releases. | | 7 |  | Past Lives
Strange Symmetry | | 8 |  | Adebisi Shank
This is the Album of a Band Called Adebisi Shank
From the few songs I've heard previously I knew I would like the album. Recently got the entire album, enjoyed it immensely. | | 9 |  | Young Widows
Old Wounds
Not to sure about this yet but I'm almost certain it will turn out to be a great album. | | 10 |  | Harvey Milk
Life... The Best Game In Town
This is the oddball of the list. I don't know why, I just don't like it. There's just something about it that makes me want to skip nearly every song. | |
