| 2008: 25 Best Albums
Top 25 albums this year, these are the full length albums...Top Ep's will be later if I feel like it. | | 1 |  | Opeth
Watershed
Well its Opeth, and its awesome. Enough said, probably my third favorite Opeth album. "Lotus Eater" and "Hessian Peel" are gold. You can bash every other album on this list but this... | | 2 |  | Have A Nice Life
Deathconsciousness
Awesome debut, possible favorite post-rock album of all-time. Really unexpected when I first heard about it. | | 3 |  | Mourning Beloveth
A Disease For the Ages
At first I thought it was good, but nothing too amazing...I was wrong obviously. | | 4 |  | Kalisia
Cybion
THANK YOU ZOOYORKER | | 5 |  | Moving Mountains
Pneuma
No idea why I like this so much, im not a huge fan of post-hardcore, but somehow mixed with post-rock elements made this extremely addicting. I listen to "8105" almost every night. | | 6 |  | In Mourning
Shrouded Divine
Crimson opened everyones eyes to this gem. | | 7 |  | Lights Out Asia
Eyes Like Brontide
Best pure post-rock album of the year, in my opinion of course... | | 8 |  | Draconian
Turning Season Within
Awesome Doom album, wasn't a huge fan of them till this came out. | | 9 |  | Nine Inch Nails
Ghosts I-IV
almost forgot about this one, NIN best record. | | 10 |  | Eluveitie
Slania
Who knew Folk Metal could be so catchy without the cheese. | | 11 |  | Exotic Animal Petting Zoo
I Have Made My Bed In Darkness
Besides the retarded band name, its actually a very good album. | | 12 |  | Deadlock
Manifesto
I liked this better than their last album, improved transitions really helped. I just wish they would stop with added random crap in their albums like the rapping at the end of "Deathrace" and the bad techno intro song. Besides that I love this album. | | 13 |  | Cynic
Traced In Air
Im sure you've heard everyone spluged all over this album. So just copy and paste it here. | | 14 |  | Esoteric
The Maniacal Vale
Really long but really worth listening too. Funeral Doom FTW | | 15 | | pg.lost
It's Not Me, It's You!
First post-rock album I listen to this year, and it was really good, just got bumped down by albums I liked a bit more. | | 16 |  | Protest the Hero
Fortress
I really liked this at first but it lost some steam after a while. Maybe I shouldn't have whored it so much in that first month. Ops! | | 17 |  | Mirrorthrone
Gangrene
Has some really awesome songs to it, but man he needs to lay off the programmed drumming a tad. | | 18 |  | Steven Wilson
Insurgentes
Its Steven Wilson, which means its good. dur...well save No-Man's last album | | 19 |  | Sig:Ar:Tyr
Beyond The North Winds
Very good record, maybe a tad less impressive than their last but still really good. | | 20 |  | Becoming the Archetype
Dichotomy
Wish I had more time to judge this more deeply before my Top 25 came out but thats their fault for releasing it in November. | | 21 |  | Amon Amarth
Twilight of the Thunder God
Was not a fan of these guys, but this was too good to ignore. | | 22 |  | United Nations
United Nations
Interesting Combo, made a good album. It kind of faded after like 20 listens though. | | 23 |  | Underoath
Lost In the Sound of Separation
Their best album, but I think they took too long to make this album for me. It was too much expected. If they made this before Define the Great Line it would have been more impressive. | | 24 |  | Sgt.
Stylus Fantasticus
Very odd post-rock, but very enjoyable. | | 25 |  | Arsis
We Are the Nightmare
Finally they made a good album again, I almost lost hope there. | |

12.07.08 | Great to see 3 and 14 getting some recognition, especially 3. | McP3000
12.07.08 | umm yeah
nono on 1 | Pebster49
12.07.08 | hey did u not read the rules McP? | asdemonsburn
12.07.08 | meh 3 of my top 5 are on the bottom half | KritikalMotion
12.07.08 | Finally 11 on someones list. and pfft. the names awesome. | jingledeath
12.07.08 | I like your list.Watershed is also my no.1 | foreverendeared
12.07.08 | i'd like to thank ZOOYORKER for 4 as well. it's 3 in my list | Pebster49
12.07.08 | TWINS! lol | FyreNail
12.07.08 | Good to see #6 got so high, its a fantastic album! | foreverendeared
12.07.08 | sorta, except i think 15 is super overrated. it doesn't even make my top 50 list. and i only like half of 1 :/ | BallsToTheWall
12.07.08 | Sexy list. | Yazz_Flute
12.07.08 | Very good list.
But really, Watershed is overrated. I loved it at first, and its kinda my faut for overplaying it in the first month, but it grew off of me more than any other album has. I really love Heir Apparent and The Lotus Eater, and parts of Burden and Hessian Peel as well, but the rest is kinda bland for Opeth.
That being said, 2,4,6,13,16, and 17 are definitely in my top 25. 20 and 25 are barely in it currently, so their positions could change. | KritikalMotion
12.07.08 | I'm dissapointed that no one has checked out 11 at all ): | Poet
12.07.08 | pg.lost rules so hard.
My list is going to change again I think. 21 was my top of the year, but it may not be before the year is over. | Athom
12.07.08 | I havent heard 18 and 19 yet but i like everything else on here. Excellent list. | Chewie
12.07.08 | yay for 9 | Pebster49
12.08.08 | @KritikalMotion - Their name is kind of off-putting it sounds like its some bad scene band. | Pebster49
12.08.08 | Also, thanks for the comments on my list. Glad everyone likes it | eyehatetherain
12.16.08 | ha i like a few. though i think your missing a few things |
