Evil Urges is easily one of the best albums of last year. I love every song it, however, I consider it MMJ's 4th best album. I usually don't like ranking albums but with theirs, it's fairly easy to me, and it'd go like this: #1 - It Still Moves, #2 - Z, a very close #3 - At Dawn, #4 Evil Urges, #5 The Tennessee Fire. Shit, I think I'd have to rank their Chocolate and Ice EP above Evil Urges.
But I like the newness and the energy of Evil Urges, and I'm really happy with it and with what the band is doing. It just doesn't stun me the way the older albums do.
Anyway, I've been busy catching up on music from 2000-2007, so I don't know much about 2008. I'll get to the other 4 albums when I reply to this thread in 2013.

You really hate some of those albums on your top 25... kinda weird.
