2008 Albums

I've only listened to it a few times the entire way through. I guess I won't give up on it, maybe it'll pull an Ashes Divide on me and turn out to be one of my favorite so far.
 
The great ones' ve been to current date:

Akira Yamaoka - Silent Hill Origins ost (best of the year).
Opeth - Watershed (promo) one of the best of 2008 exactly.
Moonspell - Night Eternal (very beautiful although).
Illdisposed - The Prestige.
Bloodbath - Unblessing the purity (mcd) probably the best death metal act of the year.
The Kills - Midnight boom.
Katatonia - maybe upcoming.
Anathema - maybe upcoming.

Second that, great album. My list so far looks something like this:

1. In Mourning - The Shrouded Divine
2. Bloodbath - Unblessing the Purity
3. Akira Yamaoka - Silent Hill Origins
4. Arsis - We Are the Nightmare
5. Agalloch - The White
6. Baroness - The Red Album
7. Dismember - Dismember
8. Opeth - Watershed

edit: forgot about the Baroness album. note to myself: listen to the new Dark Suns record.
 
so watershed is a HUGE disappointment


.

I worried when I heard 'Soldier of Fortuuuuuuuuuuuuuuune' he would carry on with that clean vocal style, and he did. Sounds like he should be on American Idol. Maybe it will grow on me, I dunno, I didn't like GR when it came out but I do now. To me, the songs seem more disjointed and have almost no flow.
 
I jsut don't like it. I've listened to it plenty of times for it to start growing, but it's not.

and...

The Baroness album is outstanding and so is the Dark Suns album. That's a grower, too.
