Your Top Albums of 2008 (so far)

[Happy_Chartreuse_Fog (Matt)]

It's that time of the year again. My music nerd alarm is going off and I've been looking at the records I've bought this year and picking my favorites. Still a bunch of exciting stuff to come and I have not yet digested everything I have bought so far, but a few records have come to the top of the pile for me:

The clear winner so far:

Portishead - Third: Can't stop listening to it, it's not just a record it's an addiction...So dark, so beautiful, a modern classic in my book.

I've also really enjoyed:

Who Killed Amanda Palmer by Amanda Palmer
Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Satrurnalia by The Gutter Twins
Saturdays=Youth by M83
Infinite Eclipse and Head With The Open Fontanel by Make A Rising
Oracular Spectacular by MGMT
Half Hours With the Lower Creatures by Rachel Taylor Brown
You & Me by The Walkmen
At Mt. Zoomer by Wolf Parade

So what is on your 2008 list?
