Two albums still to be released that will probably contend: CoCa - Long Album Name DEP - Ire Works (siggy)
Probably either M.I.A.- Kala or Of Montreal- Hissing Fauna Are You The Destroyer? Seriously, if you haven't heard of either of them... give them a listen.
The Devil Wears Prada - PLAGUES is a good album released this year, but I also like Chiodos new cd called Bone Palace Ballet.
What's with these terrible bands getting nods? TDWP, Circa Survive? Seriously? Is this what the world has come from? Next thing I know Soulja Boy wins a Grammy (oh god now he will)
for best rap album release... for me it's, Chamillionaire - Ultimate Victory while Kanye's was damn good, Ultimate Victory has the re-play value for me.
Hmm loved Minutes to Midnight, but Lies for the Liars I liked as well. Hard choice really, lots of albums came out this year xD
Let's get started: 1. Serj Tankian's "Elect the Dead" 2. The Devil Wears Prada's "Plagues" 3. Linkin Park's "Minutes to Midnight" 4. The White Stripes' "Icky Thump" and last but not least 5. Paramore's "Riot!"
