April 22, 200818 yr Listening, Liking.....maybe I'll buy it eventually. I really like to support Canadian bands. They're really good. They remind me of a more mellow version of the Arctic Monkeys. Maybe they only have my favorite album this year because I've met them and seen them live, but it certainly is a magnificant album.
April 22, 200818 yr Hot Hot Heat- Happiness Ltd one of the best bands to come out of canada in recent years
April 22, 200818 yr Dunno if anyone's posted this yet, but Cut Copy's CD "In Ghost Colours" is freaking awesome. :)

Maybe they only have my favorite album this year because I've met them and seen them live, but it certainly is a magnificant album. Yeah I find seeing a band live (well if they are any good) really helps you love a band. I'm hoping to go see Plants and Animals here in May. I hear they put on a good live show and their latest album Parc Avenue is awesome.
April 23, 200818 yr ¡Forward, Russia! - Life Processes. Album of the year. Quoted for when the end of year lists come around ;)
April 23, 200818 yr The Last Shadow Puppets - The Age Of The Understatement Damn. I'm really surprised by this album. It felt like a punch in the face hearing this for the first time. Really blows Arctic Monkeys right out of the water. There, I said it. Alex Turner has really outdone himself here. Genius.
April 23, 200818 yr I'm waiting for Coldplay's new album, obviously. Also, Oasis and I heard rumors about Green Day starting up a new album. However, U2's back in the studio! Gotta love Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton & Larry Mullen Jr. for still rocking after all these years.
April 23, 200818 yr Author ^Some people are good at talking about albums that have not been released when its pretty obvious this thread is to talk about albums that have been released already in 2008 and are worth hearing.
April 23, 200818 yr Well they're just saying they'll be good albums, although I do agree, this thread, as stated in the title, should be reserved for albums already released.
April 24, 200818 yr Well out of the albums I have heard so far that have been released this year, I really liked: The Young Knives - Superabundance (so underrated, it's criminal) Foals - Antidotes Also the new Supergrass album is not bad either. Really looking forward to hearing: The Last Shadow Puppets, The Futureheads, Franz Ferdinand's and Coldplay's one.
April 25, 200818 yr Very impressed with The Raconteurs new one, far more consistent than the last. Wouldn't put it up there with others yet though, mainly as I haven't had time to listen enough. Foals - Antidotes British Sea Power - Do You Like Rock Music? Elbow - The Seldom Seen Kid Guillemots - Red They're my best so far.
April 25, 200818 yr Author I have both Elbow and Guillemot's albums on my computer but have yet to listen to them.
April 25, 200818 yr Guillemots is a lot more accessible, but as always with Elbow records, a few listens and the songs will probably make a greater impression upon you - Guy Garvey's lyrics are fantastic.
April 25, 200818 yr ive still not got around to listening to them reccomend a song? Here's a few: Breaking Standing A Shadow Is A Shadow Is A Shadow A Prospector Can Dream Fifteen Part 1 Seventeen Twelve Can't go wrong with those.
May 18, 200818 yr This is going to sound disgusting, I know, but Panic at the Disco's new album was shocking. I generally hate most of the poppy-emo culture they're now a piece of, but their second album was the biggest change of a band I've ever heard. It was folk-y, psychedelic, gorgeous songs and insanely fun, upbeat rocking tunes. It's like a modern-day Sgt. Pepper. It's called Pretty. Odd., and I know it just sounds lame - I mean, come on, Panic at the Disco? But it's excellent, my favorite of the year so far.
