Favorite Release this year so far, 2008?

Guest

Many good albums this year and still some i'm really looking forward to like Falconer. So what is your favorite so far.
I'm loving the new Testament followed by Communic then Death Angel. A surprise for me is Eluvietie and the new Rage is great.
You?

Alot of big name bands have laid some eggs this year , IMO. But Jon Oliva's Pain - Global Warning is my pick for best of the year so far. Then Rage's Carved In Stone.

Gama Bomb-Citizen Brain and Death Angel-Killing Season is getting alot of spins for me.

I still need to check out that Gama Bomb. Glad someone is appreciating Death Angel besides me.

so far either F*ck The Facts - Disgorge Mexico, Krisiun - Southern Storm, Hate Eternal - Fury & Flames, or Aborted - Strychnine.213

however i'm still waiting on the new Motorhead & Holy Moses... i predict that they'll top my list.

there are way too many to list and it just gets harder and harder to do with each week that passes!

At this point, I'll probably say:
Unleashed - Hammer Batallion

The new Motorhead is up there towards the top though.

Out of what I have:

1. Keldian - Journey of Souls
2. Earth - The Bees Made Honey in the Lion's Skull
3. Royal Hunt - Paradox II: Collision Course
4. Rage - Carved in Stone (further down... this one let me down a bit...hopefully the next one will be better like they usually are Smile

)

I have yet to get the newest Zero Hour.

Did so not pimp. Razz

I have everything else of theirs. I'll get it soon enough. I do have a feeling I won't ever like anything as much as 'Towers of Avarice' or 'A Fragile Mind' though.

I'm looking forward to the new Falconer too, and Winterborn.

For me it's a tie so far between:

Sabaton - The Art Of War

and

Lechery - Violator

I'm looking forward to the new Falconer too.

Thus far this year my faves have been WE STILL BELIEVE THE HYPE by Bad Biscut and the 4-track EP by The Stoned.

For me, Whitesnake - Good to be Bad

Administrator Age : 38 Joined : 08 Jan 2007 Posts : 656

Tough call...so far, though, the top few would be...

Motley Crue--Saints Of Los Angeles
Testament--Formation Of Damnation
Whitesnake--Good To Be Bad
Alice Cooper--Along Came A Spider
Dokken--Lightning Strikes Again

...not in any particular order.
