Favorite Albums of 2008

  1. Nine Inch Nails – Ghosts I-IV
    Sure Richard D. James did it first (twice), but Trent and company knocked this one out of the park with very organic ambient music that pulses with life. The fact that it was all done without a label makes it even better.
  2. Meiko – Meiko
    The indie folk genera gets injected with wit and charm. She’ll be everywhere in 2009…
  3. The Black Keys – Attack & Release
    A rift heavy album that is packed from start to finish with great tracks and not a single bad song.
  4. Ra Ra Riot – Rhumb Lime
    My long time favorites finally released their full length this year, a wonderful splash of songs which celebrate life, longing, and love.
  5. The Raconteurs – Steady as She Goes
    The boys from Tennessee (as Jack White likes to say) delve even deeper into Southern Rock and mine out one great guitar rift after another layered with some great vocal interplay between White and Benson.
