What album was the best of 2008?
I think it was Twilight of the Thundergod by Amon Amarth or Watershed by Opeth.

Seriously, guys? Appeal to Reason is NOT that good of an album. Try listening to The Sufferer & The Witness or Revolutions Per Minute and you'll see why.

I would say the best album of 2008 is by far Jason Mraz's We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things. So much versatility, and he's a natural songwriter and singer.

This album was made in 2007, but it is better than any album in that year or 2008

We Were Dead Before The Ship Sank.

Here Come The 123's by They Might Be Giants. I like their music, and this album was epic.

@ Eyetwitch

No denying that their old music was awesome, and that Albums like Ride the Lightning, and ... And Justice for All were great, but compared to their other recent material, and considering that no band will stay young forever, or that any band can play the same thing forever (if they continually played the same music, you would be bored with it, and they would have died away years ago.)

I would say that DM was a pretty good album. It had its fair share of decent tracks, including a pretty good instrumental (no Call of Ktulu, but its not bad.)

Here's a few 2008 albums that definitely deserve mentioning:

Leviathan - Massive Conspiracy Against All Life
Helios - Caesura
Nadja - Christ Send Light
Nadja - Desire in Uneasiness
Nadja - Skin Turns to Glass (rerecord)
Gridlink - Amber Gray
Have a Nice Life - Deathconsciousness
Lantlôs - Lantlôs
I Shalt Become - Requiem
Ghostlimb - Bearing and Distance

I'm sure I've forgotten a few, but the ones I've listed are fantastic.

Best album of '08 is Indestructible by Disturbed. Death Magnetic by Metallica and One Way Mirror's album is great, too.

I really can't think of anything good. If I can have a little leeway time wise I would say sgt peppers lonely hearts club band or Live at Leeds by The Who.

My vote goes to Oasis for Dig Out Your Soul. A great return to form for the ultimate BritPop band.
