Tell Tale Signs: the Bootleg Series Vol. 8Tell Tale Signs: the Bootleg Series Vol. 8 by Bob Dylan
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $10.98
Not techically an album, but this is better than just about anything else out there. A new set of Dylan masterpieces. Essential for just about everyone.
Death MagneticDeath Magnetic by Metallica
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $4.78
The wait for Death Magnetic has been just as long as the wait for Chinese Democracy if you consider "The Black Album" to be Metallica's last good album. This CD re-establishes Metallica as one of the great rock acts of all time.
ShogunShogun by Trivium
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $6.59
Trivium's Shogun, impressed me even more than their previous album, The Crusade, which I thought was quite good. Terrific songs and musicianship. Trivium must certainly be one of the better metal bands around today.
NostradamusNostradamus by Judas Priest
Buy new: $13.96 / Used from: $5.00
An epic concept album from Judas Priest. I'm not crazy about the concept, but the music is great. This is the most variety you've ever heard on a Priest album. Some really impressive, complex compositions here though as a whole it rocks less than you might expect.
