I guess this is about my final list of 2008, a damn good music year for me, the top 5 are all utterly awesome albums that usually appear only once or twice a year if you're lucky.
1. IN MOURNING - Shrouded Divine
2. BLOODBATH - The Fathomless Mastery (+ UTP)
3. DAYLIGHT DIES - Lost to the Living
4. COLDPLAY - Viva la Vida or Death and all his Friends
5. TEXTURES - Silhouettes
6. ELITE - We Own the Mountains
7. STEVEN WILSON - Insurgentes
8. OPETH - Watershed
9. SATYRICON - The Age of Nero
Discoveries of the year: IN MOURNING & GOTYE, "Like Drawing Blood" would have been top 3 if it wasn't from 2006.
Position of Insurgentes might change. So far I like it, some songs more than others (about 50/50). I listened to it a lot, but it hasn't triggered an addiction yet.

Gotta agree there. The album sounds absolutely killer productionwise, but the songs fail to grab me.
Other albums that didn't turn out what I hoped them to be:
METALLICA - Death Magnetic
KEEP OF KALESSIN - Kolossus
TIAMAT - Amanethes
KEANE - Perfect Symmetry
That Testament record is good and it etertains me in some ways but it's too traditional-heavy metal sounding. Lacks the insane nature of The Gathering.

wtf??? 'Kolossus' is awesome and 'Amanethes' is obviously the best Tiamat release since 'Wildhoney'

That's why I said 'not what I hoped them to be'
, that means they're not bad albums by any means, but I expected/hoped for something (even) better.
