Excellent Albums of 2008
By an Amazon.com customer
IfIf by Mindless Self Indulgence
Buy new: $22.98 / Used from: $8.36
Their greatest album yet. This nice deluxe version has lots of cool extra stuff (including the sweet artwork) so spending a few more bucks is really worth it. Fave song-"Get It Up" (O.k., honestly, this is my #1 favorite album I've heard all year. But the rest I really can't rate in order.)
Crystal CastlesCrystal Castles by Crystal Castles
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $9.39
Crazy girl singer + Odd guy musicmaker + Video Game Noises=Pure Greatness. Fave song-"Vanished"
Midnight BoomMidnight Boom by The Kills
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $8.62
Rock is NOT dead...here's the proof. Fave song-"Last Day of Magic"
Kiss Kiss Kill KillKiss Kiss Kill Kill by HorrorPops
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $6.75
Great female voice...awesome rockabilly music.
SaturnaliaSaturnalia by Gutter Twins
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $5.74
Greg Dulli's newest 'side project.' In the same vein as Afghan Whigs, and that's not a bad thing.
ThirdThird by Portishead
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $5.00
It's been 10 years since their last album...and it's really great. But not even an hour worth of music. C'mon it's been forever-fill it up! Fave song-"The Rip"
Seventh TreeSeventh Tree by Goldfrapp
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $4.52
This album will make you feel light, airy, & happy. Sounds odd, but true. Fave song-"Happiness"
You Have No Idea What You're Getting Yourself IntoYou Have No Idea What You're Getting Yourself Into by Yeah? Does It Offend You
Buy used from: $12.98
Strange name. And not your typical band. But very catchy music & lyrics. It won't offend you either. Fave song-"Dawn of the Dead"
Ghosts I - IVGhosts I - IV by Nine Inch Nails
Buy new: $16.98 / Used from: $6.65
Noises. Instrumentals. Or shall I use the term-soundscapes?! And no singing, obviously. But sometimes Trent doesn't have to do that...
Jukebox - Deluxe EditionJukebox - Deluxe Edition by Cat Power
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $9.97
Whatever Chan does is wonderful. And her covers (which this whole CD is) are so beautiful & unique. {If you like this, you'll more than likely like her 1st cover album-simply called The Covers Record.}
Live in LiverpoolLive in Liverpool by Gossip
Buy new: $39.99 / Used from: $6.00
This band is incredible live. This proves it in 2 ways because...it also comes with the live performance of the CD on DVD-pretty sweet.
Looking GlassLooking Glass by The Birthday Mazzacre
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $4.98
Great remixes from Walking With Strangers...and worth it simply for the awesome cover of "I Think We're Alone Now."
Never Wanted to DanceNever Wanted to Dance by Mindless Self Indulgence
Buy new: $7.98 / Used from: $1.38
The single (although the original isn't on here) before IF came out. Very great remixes though...especially the ones by The Birthday Massacre. Oh & Tommie Sunshine too...hell, they are all great!
