Top 10 albums of 2008. (not live albums just studio ones woo)
1. Folie A Deux by Fall Out Boy - first off, i know that this is the second year in a row that FOB has been #1 and I said last year I wasn't being biased and this year I'm not either. Honestly this record is freaking amazing... Everything about it is amazing.
2. Hold On Tight by Hey Monday - Hey Monday one of the first bands in a long time to catch my attention that quickly and have me instantly fall in love with them. I love Cassadee's voice and I love the lyrics and music of this cd. When I first listened to it I couldn't stop and when I saw them on Bill & Trav's Bogus Journey tour I had the feeling in the bottom of my stomach I only get when I see special bands, they are definately one of them.
3. Pretty. Odd. by Panic! At the Disco - This is 100% what I was not expecting for a sophomore album by panic. Honestly, this was spring time for me, it is such a spring time album. Its filled with tons of mellow songs that make me feel at peace but still have the crazy lyrics that Mr. Ryan Ross has written. The addition of Ryan's vocals on the album also grab the cute factor of the year.
4. Goodbye Blues by The Hush Sound - This also had perfect timing when it came out, it is such a spring time album. Greta and Bob's vocals on this are awesome and it is such a fun playful album but also serious too. I love these kids so much, I'm so proud of them.
5. One of the Boys by Katy Perry - Although I was very skeptical at first this has definately become one of my favourite albums of the year. Every song brings something new to the table for me and Katy is such an adorable person. I really love this record she's got the fun songs and the serious emotional songs all wrapped up into one amazing album.
6. A Little Bit Longer by Jonas Brothers - Although I was very skeptical of these boys at first after listening to the first two records I was egar to listen to their third. This record is truly amazing. With the catchy single 'Burnin' Up' to the more serious 'Can't Have You' I really enjoyed this record.
7. Rotation by Cute Is What We Aim For - Hands down the BEST album to listen to in the car. I love this album, it shows so much change in cute over the passed to years and it was awesome to hear some new stuff from them. This record reminds me of the summer and it makes me think of Toronto and it makes me think of so many good times. I love everything about this record.
8. Fast Times At Barrington High by The Academy Is... - This album went back to the roots of TAI and Almost here which was refreshing although I loved their sophomore album Santi I was extremely pleased to hear this new byt old familar sound. Some say the high school-ness of this album is strange considering the band isnt in high school any more by i love the angst and emotion portrayed in it. plus it was a good move considering a lot of their fanbase is in or has just graduated high school.
9. Ace Enders And A Million Different People EP (this is bad but I really don't know what its called lol) - This eps small collection of songs is amazing its pretty much all i listened to on the way to jersey/nyc in july. its really soothing i love it.
10. Whisper War by The Cab - favourite dance album of the year. some of my favourite lyrics of the year. makes me think of summer lol i don't know what else to write about this.
Honorable Mentions:
Underdog Alma Matter by Forever The Sickest Kids - very dancey and fun ha
Simple Plan by Simple Plan i love it overall. but i don't even know how to comment it.
Can't Stop, Won't Stop by The Maine - I haven't listened to it enough to put it on the list!
