    Meshuggah – obZen
    Cynic – Traced in Air
    Mastodon – Crack the Skye
    Gojira – The Way of All Flesh
    Textures – Silhouettes

    Theese are the best albums of 2008 imo

  10. Lucy6Fernandez says:

    Another thing, yes …
    Another thing, yes it’s great to hear Cynic again after too effin long, but get over it. Traced in Air can’t touch Focus, it’s not even that brutal, it has more in common with their Portal days than Cynic.

  11. Lucy6Fernandez says:

    I may be a little …
    I may be a little biased for both Opeth and Protest the Hero, whose albums I considered my personal top 2 of 08, and I’m happy to see In Mourning on the list. Then I saw In Flames beat Meshuggah, and frickin Death Magnetic on the list and I knew something was effed up. Death Magnetic was little more than an average metal album at best, certainly the best Metallica album in the last 18 years but that is not saying much. Also have u guys heard Warbringer’s War Without End? Best thrash debut album.

  12. elydawat says:

    New In Flames …
    New In Flames better than new Meshuggah?
    Mettalica even better?
    YEE.. RIIIIGHT!!!!!!
    huahuahuah

    Origin and InFlames in better place than Meshuggah? omgwtf… Meshuggah is the best band ever, and obZen is their best album…

  16. Gnoorf says:

    ObZen is so revolutionary, I’ll like to see people try and copy Meshuggah’s style now

    Both were incredibly influential. Animals as Leaders, and other modern progressive bands would not be the same without traced in air.
