The only albums that have come out this year that I have bought are:
Metallica - Death magnetic The Dresden dolls - No virginnia Jenny Lewis - Acid Tongue Maple Bee - Home Punch brothers -Punch With the exception of the Dresden Dolls cover of "pretty in pink," only Jenny Lewis really did anything for me. The majority of modern acts do nothing for me. Next year is looking better though for new music. Saying that though, there are number of albums that have come out this year that I do want, but are in my great list of albums to buy: Amanda palmer - who killed amanda palmer? Chris thile & Edgar Meyer The duhks - fast-paced world The Winterpills - Central chambers Dan Tyminski's new album |

The Roots- Rising Down
Coldplay- Viva la Vida Mars Volta- Bedlam in Goliath Scars on Broadway-(forgot the album name) Rose Hill Drive- The Moon is the New Earth Neverending White Lights- Act II Metallica- Death Magnetic |
I think I've only bought two albums that were released in 2008:
Dillinger Four - Civil War Offspring - Rise and Fall Rage and Grace I bought Death Magnetic for my soon to be wife for Christmas, but it hasn't been opened yet so I can't say if it's good or not. |
Mine maybe the closest to Downunders list. But my list goes as follows:
Disturbed - Indestructible Shinedown - The Sound of Madness Metallica - Death Magnetic Rev Theory - Light It Up Motley Crue - Saints of LA Hinder - Take It To The Limit GNR - Chinese Democracy And whenever the new Dope album is released, which was supposed to be this year, but is still postponed. |
