Re: your favorite 2008 album so far

Updated 2008 list :

1. Kelley Stoltz - "Circular sounds"
2. Bryan Scary & The Shredding Tears - "Flight of the knife"
3. Brent Cash - "How will I know if i'm awake"
4. The Junipers - "Cut your key"
5. Cut Copy - "In ghost colours"
6. Josh Fix - "Free at last"
7. Roger Joseph Manning Jr. - "Catnip dynamite"
8. The Explorers Club - "Freedom wind"
9. M83 - "Saturdays = Youth"
10.Guillemots - "Red"
11.She & Him - "Volume one"
12.Jim Noir - "Jim Noir"
13.Vampire Weekend - "Vampire Weekend"
14.Adrian Whitehead - "One small stepping man"
15.Jason Falkner - "Bedtime with the Beatles part 2"
16.James Hunter - "The hard way"
17.Wisely - "Wisely"
18.Goldfrapp - "Seventh tree"
19.Pete Molinari - "A virtual landslide"
20.Hot Chip - "Made in the dark"
21.Eli 'Paperboy' Reed and The True Loves - "Roll with you"
22.The Black Crowes - "Warpaint"

These albums all are at least 4 stars records in my opinion.
The new Brian Wilson album is a disappointment and don't appear in my list.
I've purchased the new Todd Rundgren album "Arena" this week. After a couple of listens, it sounds good to my ears. It's a much more rocking record than his previous ones and reminds a lot of his Utopia era.
But it's too soon for me to rank it in my list, but it's sure a grower.

Re: your favorite 2008 album so far

Just now digesting the Portishead album...seems to have polarized a lot of their fans on Amazon at least. Not sure how I feel about it yet..

Re: your favorite 2008 album so far

The Legendary Pink Dots are still alive? Wow, used to like them and even have seen them live over 20 years ago, but haven't heard much from them ever since ... cool!

With one month to go, here are my current standings, between brackets the positions at the end of each quarter (Q3-Q2-Q1):

1 (1-1-2) Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes
2 (2-2-x) Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend
3 (x-x-x) The Week That Was - The Week That Was
4 (6-7-9) Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago
5 (4-5-3) Elbow - Seldom Seen Kid
6 (5-4-x) Death Cab For Cutie - Narrow Stairs
7 (3-x-x) TV On The Radio - Dear Science
8 (x-x-x) Calexico - Carried To Dust
9 (x-x-x) Amadou & Mariam - Welcome To Mali
10 (8-10-x) Shearwater - Rook

And bubbling under, struggling in the swampy 11 to 20: Nick Cave, Drive-By Truckers, Ladytron, The Last Shadow Puppets, Lindstrøm, M83, Okkervil River, Benoit Pioulard, R.E.M. and Lucinda Williams.
