    Sigur Ros - With a Buzz in our Ears we Play Endlessly

    Not quite the best album I bought in 2008 (that'll be Kimya Dawson's 'Remember that I Love You'), but it's very very close.
    'We're learning songs for baby Jesus' birthday. His mum and dad were Merry and Joseph. He had a bed made of clay and the three kings bought him Gold, Frankenstein and Merv as presents.'

    The new Sigur Ros is album is possibly the most beautiful music I have ever heard.....

    I also think it's their best album.....and that's saying something.....

    I've yet to hear an album this year that deserves the title of AOTY. The Raconteurs was good, but it's like being the smartest retard.

    new album by The Gaslight Anthem. Think it's called 59 Sound and it's ace.

    I've heard that song 59 Sound - I bought it off itunes - its really good.

    Best album - probably NIN The Slip.

    Its a tie between Jakob Dylan and The Raconteurs.

    I am pleased to say that I now have a NEW METALLICA album that I will be listening to for a while......and its been a long time coming. It's probably never going to make the first spot in my 2008 list of albums but it will be up there within sniffing distance
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    Consolers of the Lonely
    Death Magnetic

    Nothing new but these albums were absolutely incredible for me. I also liked Blind Melon's and thought their singer fits in quite well in place of Hoon, but it wasn't incredible by any means.
