Biggest Dissapointment of 2008... Jacobs Dream.... Oh my God... This thing is atrocious! Not just the production this time either. It sounds like the band is not even in time with each other. 1/10

The new EVERGREY should be out sometime later this year and having heard at least parts of all the new tracks I can safely say it will be a high ranking disc this year as well.

1. Lechery - Violator (10/10)
2. Def Leppard - Songs from the Sparkle Lounge (9/10)
3. Whitesnake - Good To Be Bad (9/10)
4. Dokken - Lightning Strikes Again (6/10)
5. Seventh Avenue - Terium (5/10)

I've bought many more albums, but those are the only ones released in 2008. I've bought a bunch of '07 releases early in '08. If those counted, this list would look much different. 2007 was a KILLER year for metal!

Even thou it came out in 2007 I believe, I just got it this year:

Loverboy-Just Getting Started 10/10. Voted #1 melodic rock album by melodicrock.com. It is a great album and fans of Def Leapard should enjoy it. Heck, Phil Collen appears on the album

I tend to agree with the general people's feelings that the latest Ayreon isn't as good as the average Arjen release. 6.5/10

Now, I really don't know why everyone seems to hate the Tarja album. For what it aims to be it's pretty good. 7.5/10

Must be all in taste. Personally, I think it's way better than that turd that Sebastian Bach put out. All he does is scream through most the songs and the ones he doesn't scream on are average at best. Bach's best work is on the Frameshift cd. Amazing stuff there.

Firewind - The Premonition 8/10
Symphony X - Paradis Lost 9/10
Arsis - We Are The Nightmare 9/10
Saint - Crime Scene Earth 7/10

The new Saint is heavy. I will give it that but I just find the album a bit mediocre. There are lots of good parts but nothing that stands out as solid.

That Symphony X disc is technically a 2007 release. A very very good release though!

That Loverboy disc, while being a 2007 release, is indeed SOLID. I'd give it a good 8/10 or so...
