Better than last year though. Some ok albums were out their on the low. Q-tip. Killer Mike. Joe Budden. Raaphael Saadiq. Termanology. All thos guys dropped some pretty good albums this year. That's more than I could say last year.
1. Co-sign...albums this year sucking. But my favorites were "Seeing Sounds" and "Narrow Stairs" by Death Cab.
"Modern Guilt" by Beck was solid.
The best album though for me is, undeniably, "Stay Positive" by The Hold Steady.

2. Last year was way better. American Gangster, Graduation, The Cool, Icky Thump, Vampire Weekend, Mind Control (S.Marley), In Rainbows(Radiohead), Echoes,Silence...(foo fighters), Magic (Springsteen).
 
1. N*E*R*D - Seeing Sounds

2. Q-Tip - The Renaissance

3. Coldplay - Viva La Vida

4. NaS - Untitled

5. Prodigy - H.N.I.C. 2
 
haven't even heard it yet, but Jay's will be tops

if he had shaved a couple tracks off H.N.I.C. 2, taken the top 5 songs of Product of the 80's, and then omitted Big Twin from the entire equation, he wouldof had an undisputed classic on his hands

Yeh man... Prodigy crushed it though. H.N.I.C. 2 = one of the most slept on albums of 2008

Edit: I think the reason is because his subject matter went over a lot of peoples heads. Dude brings knowledge though.
 
No particular order:

Paper Trail
Theater Of the Mind
Day & Age (The Killers)


Not a lot of great albums this year. I tried to like 808's, I just couldn't though. All that happened is Robocop got stuck in my head

Okaaaaaaaaaaay, okay okaayyyyyyyyy...
 
I f's with NERD,but Seeing Sounds was sub-pra, definitely not a top candidate IMO.

off top- Q Tip Renaissance.

yea ive been lovin all his stuff lately, he didnt have a sub par verse on either album, he came with it every time
 
statik selektah - stick 2 the script ( check that out if you haven't yet)
jake one - white van music
rapper big pooh - rappers delight
little brother - separate but equal drama free
prodigy - h.n.i.c 2 & product of the 80's
termanology - politics as usual:.
 
^i still can't believe Statik, Jake One, and Black Milk dropped around the same four week span. It was almost too much crack for my ears. I swearStatik's joint is by far the most slept on of the three.
