10 Best Albums of 2008

10."Orangular Spectacular", MGMT-Nothing but originality on this album it may take a few listens to really get into it, but once you do you're hooked.

9."Some People Have Real Problems", Sia-Subtle but powerful album, each song has depth that is lacking in her pop contemporaries.

8."Tha Carter III", Lil Wayne-While this album has little lyrical depth outside of "Dr. Carter", you can't deny the hooks and metaphors, which makes it one of the most entertaining Hip Hop LP's in years.

7."Santogold", Santogold-This album has something for everyone, great dance cuts, emotional mid-tempos, and Santogold is unafraid to experiment with sounds.

6."Paper Trail", T.I.-Nowhere near the brillance of "Trap Muzik" but this disc has introspective rap cuts("No Matter What", "Dead and Gone") and hit singles("Live Your Life", "Whatever You Like")

5."New Amerykah part One(4th World War)", Erykah Badu-Her best album to date, she steps out of the R&B comfort zone and delivers the most interesting LP of her career.

4."Funhouse", Pink-She takes her heartbreak and delivers her best lyrics and most vulnerable songs to date which show why she's one this generations best voices.

2."Viva la Vida or Death and all his friends", Coldplay-This album is Beatles level greatness. "Viva la Vida" is one of the most interesting concept records to come about in years a must listen!

1."19", Adele-Amy Winehouse delivered the best album last year, and this year it is another British chanteuse who is the best. Why is this album so great? Emotional and vulnerable lyrics, outstanding production, and Adele's amazing voice. Of all the discs released this year, "19" will stand the test of time the best.
