    I guess the artwork is a bit ugly and Primus-y, but I really enjoyed the album. I thought it was much better than The Voice of Midnight from '07. Musically, the songs are rather short and nothing at all like the long storytelling albums they've been doing, although they have the whole Bunny Boy concept running throughout the album. The bulk of the story is being told throughout the internet series they've been doing for it. It's a great companion piece to the album.

    true fact:
    the best album on this list is Amy Winehouse.

    she may be batcrap crazy, but damn, she can sing her ass off.

    i think In Rainbows should be up there unless they say it released in 2007,
    it was released on MP3 in 2007, but CD in 2008

    I liked the sound of the shorter songs, I've heard comparisons to Duck Stab. Nothing will ever rival the genius of the Commercial Album though.

    It would be if it came out in 2008. :) It was one of my favorite records of 2007.

    Hmm...
    Viva La Vida is not shocking at #1, and unlike prior Coldplay releases, I liked the singles off of it, so I might invest in the Prospekt March edition...

    Jack Johnson's Sleep Through the Static was pretty lame next to his other releases...

    AC/DC's black ice was the last "new" album I got, and it was alright.

    Metallica's Death Magnetic is another one I want to hear but I always put off buying it.

    Mamma Mia and HSM3 sadden me to no end

    and GNR will not be taking any more of my money thankyouverymuch.

    That is all.
