Best album of the year so far...

[poundingmetal74]

Black Tide - Light From Above

They kicked ass when I saw them open up for A7X and they kick mega-ass on this CD. Tight production, tight musicianship, catchy songs, heavy riffs. This is like Kill 'Em All circa 2008. They also do a cover of Hit the Lights - Imagine Iron Maiden attempting their own cover of the song. Very unique interpretation.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR ALL OLD SCHOOLERS!

It´s mid-February! At least give us sometime to buy stuff

Avantasia - "The Scarecrow" light-years above the "Metal Opera", a great metal/rock album with very good collaborations by Alice Cooper, Jorn Lande, Rudolph Schenker and more.

quit early indeed, but hell, why not !!

My favorit uptill now is Mörglbl - Grötesk
A great instrumental album with lots of Vai and Zappa influences.
You just can feel these guys are enjoying what they do!
There is some crazy guitarwork on this CD !!
Urgently need to get their earlier albums.
oh yeah, pronounce the name as Morgulball

Jeez I don't think I bought anything yet

Probably going to be Agalloch if it ever gets here...

 

[desert_demon]

The only thing I've bought so far is the Live After Death DVD which will probably be the best buy of the year.

I can't wait to hear the Black Tide album. I just added it to my wish list. $8 at cduniverse!

Don't have too much from '08 yet. I do have Benedictum, Avantasia, and the new Paul Gilbert. Haven't sat down with any of them at length....

The Scorps and Maiden dvds kick ass.

 

[sixxswine]

Here's two that are absolute monsters...
Cavalera Conspiracy - Inflikted
Biomechanical - Cannibalised

 

[sixxswine]

I wrote a review of the Blacktide record about a month ago when I got it. It's not a bad album for a bunch of kids... it's a nice blend of 80's rock and thrash though I know the purists will be crying foul....

 

[rokk]

Listening to Black Tide now... pretty good stuff!

 

[Orfanos]

Too early, the only new albums I have listened in 2008 are from Rage and Viron.
