Favorite Release this year so far, 2008?

Many good albums this year and still some i'm really looking forward to like Falconer. So what is your favorite so far.
I'm loving the new Testament followed by Communic then Death Angel. A surprise for me is Eluvietie and the new Rage is great.
You?

Alot of big name bands have laid some eggs this year , IMO. But Jon Oliva's Pain - Global Warning is my pick for best of the year so far. Then Rage's Carved In Stone.

Gama Bomb-Citizen Brain and Death Angel-Killing Season is getting alot of spins for me.

I still need to check out that Gama Bomb. Glad someone is appreciating Death Angel besides me.

so far either F*ck The Facts - Disgorge Mexico, Krisiun - Southern Storm, Hate Eternal - Fury & Flames, or Aborted - Strychnine.213

however i'm still waiting on the new Motorhead & Holy Moses... i predict that they'll top my list.

Yes you do.

The Death Angel gets better with each listen,IMO.Testament is the same way for me.

there are way too many to list and it just gets harder and harder to do with each week that passes!

At this point, I'll probably say:
Unleashed - Hammer Batallion

The new Motorhead is up there towards the top though.

Out of what I have:

1. Keldian - Journey of Souls
2. Earth - The Bees Made Honey in the Lion's Skull
3. Royal Hunt - Paradox II: Collision Course
4. Rage - Carved in Stone (further down... this one let me down a bit...hopefully the next one will be better like they usually are )

I have yet to get the newest Zero Hour.

You who pimped these guys to me. It's good, dark but good.

Did so not pimp. I have everything else of theirs. I'll get it soon enough. I do have a feeling I won't ever like anything as much as 'Towers of Avarice' or 'A Fragile Mind' though.

I'm looking forward to the new Falconer too, and Winterborn.

For me it's a tie so far between:

Sabaton - The Art Of War

and

Lechery - Violator

I'm looking forward to the new Falconer too.

Also really looking forward to new Diablo Swing Orchestra

Airbourne-Runnin' wild
Motley Crue-Saints of LA

Sevendust - Hope and Sorrow
Ayreon - 01011001
Warrel Dane - Praises to the War Machine
Avantasia - The Scarecrow

all some of my favs from this year

A Fragile Mind is my favorite, but the new one is just brilliant. It makes my brain bleed!

I'm going to go with Moonspell's Night Eternal for my favorite this year. There are a ton of killer releases, but this one gets almost a daily spin.

Forgot Warrel Dane. Dang. Ok a tie for number 5.

Thus far this year my faves have been WE STILL BELIEVE THE HYPE by Bad Biscut and the 4-track EP by The Stoned.

Bridgeshadows and the new Priest so far, was Into the Pit released this year? If so, that one too!

I haven't been buying many CD's of late, but a couple favorites from this year would be:

King's X - XV
The Sword - Gods Of The Earth

Testament

Motley Crue - Saints of Los Angeles with Whitesnake following in a close 2nd.

For me, Whitesnake - Good to be Bad

Tough call...so far, though, the top few would be...

Motley Crue--Saints Of Los Angeles
Testament--Formation Of Damnation
Whitesnake--Good To Be Bad
Alice Cooper--Along Came A Spider
Dokken--Lightning Strikes Again

...not in any particular order.

Haven't bought much, have you? Haha. How is that The Stoned CD? (I really grammar sometimes; that question sounds so stupid.) Anyway, it's on my $5 To Buy list.
