20) The Odd Couple - Gnarls Barkley 8
the production and the vocals on this song are great; props to danger mouse and Cee-lo
19) The Stand-Ins - Okkerville River 6.5
these guys make some nice music with great lyrics.
18) DIG LAZARUS DIG!!! - Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds 7.5
This music has more energy and passion, not to mention rage, than any other album out this year.
17) Rising Down - The Roots 7
Not the best Roots album
16) Evil Urges - My Morning Jacket 4.5
Personally, I don't know how these guys got a record deal.
15) Modern Guilt - Beck 8
Love Beck, Love Modern guilt. Has that great weird LA feel too it.
14) Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend 7
Fun and obsessive the first 50 times then you realize its obnoxious like the the Hiltons
13) No Age - Nouns 8
this is a great unknown who is now known. pick up the cd is my advice.
12) New Ameryka Pt. 1 4th World War - Erryka Badu less than 1
all i know is the album art is wack the name is wack and the music is pretty wack.
11) The Seldom Seen Kid - Elbow 7
i guessed and gave it a 7. it looked good and i have heard good things about it.
10) Oracular Spectacular - MGMT 9
This album is as weird as the cover but better than any other album this year.
9) Viva La Vida - Coldplay 2
fuck coldplay.
8) Made in The Dark - Hot Chip 8
Fun Indie-elcetro-blues Music. if you find a band like it i will be amazed.
7) Microcastle - Deerhunter 7.5
i dont like this band or album but some of the tracks were sampled in a few great Mixtaps and mash ups.
6) Santagold- Santagold ?
never got a copy...
5) Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes 8.5
got an advanced copy. you should have too.
4) The Chemistry of Common Life - Fucked Up 9
saw them live in montreal. awesome music made by awesome people.
3) Third - Portishead 8
its only good when your head feels full of portis...
2) Tha Carter III - Lil Wayne 8.5
I gotta give Lil Wayne a good score even if this album was mediocre. He released so much free mixtape content this year it was unreal. go get some of that instead.
1) Dead Silence - TV on The Radio --
When I saw that TV on The Radio had gotten the best album of 2008 I went dead silent.
