Best Albums of 2008
Fuck Pitchfork, Stereogum and all of those other fag music sites. Here's some real top ten action. [Memo to the critics, Vampire Weekend sucks.]
My Friends List:
10. Day and Age - The Killers
Great album, not as good as there first album, but very good nonetheless…
9. Narrow Stairs – Death Cab for Cutie
Unbelievable album from a band I have hated for years, I don’t what drugs they were on, but they should stay on them…
8. The Slip – Nine Inch Nails
Wow, what a fantastic album…Nine Inch Nails could be considered has band of the Decade, if Fragile would have came out a year later…
7. Cardinology – Ryan Adams and the Cardinals
WHO???...I am not sure who Ryan Adams is, but this album is great. It’s almost country but not…
6. Bedlam in Goliath – The Mars Volta
This should really be a tie for fifth…Another band I never liked, but this album rocks…It’s weird, it’s hard it’s confusing, and it’s #6…
5. Motorizer – Motorhead
What can I say, I love Motorhead, and this album is CLASSIC Motorhead, they are like a poor man’s AC/DC…
4. Earth Sun and Moon – Rosehill Drive
These guys are pure seventies…They sing songs about Weed, Fast cars and Faster Women…They have long hair and they rock…Rock Hard…
3. Consolers of the Lonely – The Raconteurs
Jack White is GOD…This album has some of the best music ever…They move from Country to Rock to Alt and back, it’s an album that would have been album of the year the Past 5 years…But the two albums on top are the best albums these bands have ever put out…So, three it is…
2. Viva La Vida or Death and All of His Friends/Prospekt’s March EP
I like Coldplay…And this is there best album…I would say without the EP, it’s lower, but they did release both as a two-disc set…So, they become #2…A lot of people give these guys crap, but they have released one good album after another…And this album really works on a lot of levels…Too bad that first single was crap…They had to make one song sound like everything else…The rest of the album is very good…
1. Death Magnetic - MetallicaI could break it down song by song and try an explain the indricisies of metal, but it all comes down to this album ROCKS…Everytime I listen to it, I can’t believe how it moves and just barrels thru, Old School Guitar leads and Drum breaks take me back to another time…When Hard Rock was king…Unlike GNR, Metallica didn’t try and reinvent the wheel, they just rolled it a lot faster…These guys got the last laugh on Axl Rose…In a year when he should have been King, Metallica paid him back for his shitty attittude in the eighties…And made a statement…Metal is Back and all of that other crap can bow down to the Kings of Metal…Metallica
My List:
10 Motley Crue – Saints Of Los Angeles: The Crue is back, though no one asked for them
09 Local H – 12 Angry Months: awesome breakup album
08 The Sword – Gods Of The Earth: sweet, sweet nerd metal
07 Rose Hill Drive – Moon Is The New Earth: good groove
06 The Mars Volta – The Bedlam In Goliath: My friend “This album is Hard & Confusing” Ehhhxcellllent
05 Metallica – Death Magnetic: My friend said it all again
04 Guns & Roses – Chinese Democracy: The greatest album of 1999/2000. Can you imagine if this was released back then? Too many slower songs, horrible song order, but still a great work. “Riad N' The Bedouins” “Better” “IRS” “There Was A Time” are all classics
03 Don Callero – Punkgasm: Some great songs, but not as good as 2006’s World Class Listening Problem
02 Melvins – Nude With Boots: Same as with DonCab above, two of their best songs ever [Suicide In Progress & Billy Fish] but overall a weaker album than 2006’s A Senile Animal. Still probably listened to this more than anything else this year.
01 Electric Six – Flashy: ”She's a nine-to-fiver, Got evil up inside her, She's a, She's a, graphic designer” This cd makes me smile

Cleveland Browns: Best Season Ever !!!
I think its safe to say that with the recent Braylon Edwards episode, the 2008 season has topped every Browns season since 1999 for shittyness. 1999 & 2000 don't count since they were an expansion team. 2001 was fun and 2002 was awesome up until they lost to the Steelers in the playoffs. 2003 sucked pretty hard, but I was was distracted by other things that I couldn't absorb the failure as well as I could this season, 2004 was pretty bad, as was 2005 and 2006. For some reason 2004/2005/2006 all kind of blur together. I've seen every Browns game on TV since 1999 and followed them since 1979 and I just want this season to be over. Just forfeit the last two games.
