Not a day too late

Top 4 Eps

4.Kevin Devine - I Could Be With Anyone Ep
alrite. anticipating the album kinda.

3.Coldplay - Prospekt's March EP
Their cd was great and an EP with some extras is a must have, a song featuring Jay-z...priceless. Listen - "Lost"

2.Straylight Run - Un Dos Mas EP
New sound again from Straylight, love everything they do.

1.You, Me And Everyone We Know - So Young, So Insane EP
Read the review. enough said.

Most Dissapointing (No Order. All Dissapointing)

Fall Out Boy - Folie A Deux
Suprisingly i loved every album before this one, Patick lost a lot in his vocals, trying to be too catchy, ten steps down from Infinity on High, and 40 steps from From Under The Cork Tree, dissapointing.

Kanye West - 808's and Heartbreak
listen to Love Lockdown, thats the whole album, all the other songs are identical, fake sounding vocals, i have no idea why he tried to go R & B, loved all his other work.

All-American Rejects - When the World Comes Down
this band is really starting to fall ever since their first album, love the single gives you hell, but after that im really not sure.

Gym Class Heroes - The Quilt
why gym class heroes why did you sell out into rap. fucking terrible

The Academy Is...-Fast Times At Barrington High
What the fuck. i really havent listened to whole thing in its entirety but i really havent wanted to. hopefully this is prematurely on the list.

Lil Wayne - Tha Carter III
loved the singles, a milli and lollipop but come on some of his lyrics are god awful, must listen - "Phone Home" he looks like a martian and after listening to this song i really think he is.

The Matches - A Band In Hope
loved every album before this. going to keep giving it a try hopefully i will figure it out.

Plain White T's - Big Bad World
i dont know why i gave this a chance but it was bad. still stuck on hey there delilah

The Kooks - Konk
some thing over and over talking about love. dissapointing

Top Ten Albums of 2008
10. Portugal The Man. - Censored Colors
Very different sounding portugal album. really enjoy the change.
9.The Audition - Champion
Love Danny Stevens voice, most songs have a dance feel to it, pretty sick of bands like this but this one is legit hasnt got old.

8.Radiohead - In Rainbows
it is legendary what they did with the album downloads, revolutionary sound, reminds me of the feeling i got from OK Computer.

7.Coldplay - Viva La Vida
Im a sucker for anything classical with electric guitars but still this album if fucking great. best fucking album cover too.

6.Panic at the disco - Pretty. Odd.
yeah i know panic but idk what came over me but i hated it at first and now i enjoy it, i think it was because i was stuck on a fever i cant sweat out but ive changed and so have they love it now.

5.Anthony Green - Avalon
yeah so ive been hearing ive been dying to reach you for forever but i still love it to death, all recorded tracks of bad sounding vids from youtube, now i can truly charish his stuff plus bonus tracks, and a cd of like 20 songs, cant go wrong.

4.Dear and the Headlights - Drunk Like Bible Times
Yeah you got me hooked on this, crazy lyrics and sound, even crazier live, love it.

3.Cute Is What We Aim For - Rotation
yes i did go and buy this album from a store, i highly anticipated this album and i wasnt upset, love the whole thing, must be my past trying to shine through me, the inner pop punk in me. ive seen them live 3 times now and ive never been dissapointed. fucking great dude.

2.Kay Kay and His Weathered Underground - Self-Titled
i cant say enough about the top two albums, catchy, experimental, new every time i listen to them, crazy fucking great, so many instuments, love the classical mix with so many genres, the guest vocals for razia's is impeccable, just fucking amazing.
1.Forgive Durden - Razia's Shadow

Honorable Mention
Person L - Initial
Kenny doing his new thing, his new direction, very experimental, too short to be anything more than number ten on this list. Kinda makes me miss TSL though.

Say Anything - In Defense of the Genre
this is iffy, i really loved it like half way thru the year and then it lost its spice. i love the guest vocals, maybe a little excessive though but nevertheless good.

Now, Now Every Children - Cars
still working on listen to it all. sounds alrite so far.

Good Old War - Only Way To Be Alone
love coney island but after that i dont know.

Ace Enders and a Million Different People - The Secret Wars
i dont know. its okay.

Guilty Plesures
Chiodos - Bone Palace Ballet
Katy Perry - One Of The Boys
N.E.R.D- Seeing Sounds
