Top 10 of 2008: New Releases

Making a Top 10 list is practically a requirement when you have a music review blog, but it can also be a nuisance since people usually judge you based on your list. Regardless, if you’ve been reading this blog for a while, chances are very high that you know exactly what albums I’m going to include. If not, here’s a hint: go to the sidebar and check out all the 2008 releases that I gave 4.5 stars or 5 stars.

So here’s the best of what I managed to review…

Day & Age (2008) by the Killers

Genre: alt rock
Rating:
“A Dustland Fairytale,” “Joy Ride,” “Spaceman,” and “A Crippling Blow.”

Tiger Lou’s The Loyal, Cinematic’s A Strange Education

The Killers are back and making a little more sense than usual…

Anti-Anti (2006) by Snowden

Genre: indie rock/alt pop
Rating:
“Anti-Anti,” “Counterfeit Rules,” “Black Eyes,” and “Sisters.”
myspace, last.fm
tiger lou, wartapes

While they may be ‘anti-anti,’ Snowden’s sound on this record is a very catchy mixture of pop and the downtempoish, almost dirty production that’s so popular now…
