^hahaha, you are cracking me up Travis. I have met both Dallas and Aaron as well (on their Changing of Times tour) ... AND... I am also a drummer. I've been playing for about 15 years now.
Since you did it - I'm going to have to drop my favs of 2008:
1) Slipknot- All Hope Is gone
2) Becoming The Archetype- Dichotomy
3) Trivium- Shogun
4) Pantokrator- Aurum
5) The Famine- The Raven and The Reaping
6) Opeth- Watershed
7) The Showdown- Backbreaker
Unearth- The March
9) All That Remains- Overcome
10) Haste The Day- Dreamer
finally someone else that agrees with me that all hope is gone was one of the greatest albums of last year. almost all my friends (even the metal heads) didnt like that album at all. overcome was also fairly underated i thought and i absolutely loved shogun but i cant find anyone else who likes trivium. im not sure id be able to put together a top list just because i really like listening to everything but if i did make a list one album that would definitely NOT be on that list is death magnetic. i myself am a pretty big metallica fan but the only albums that i like are master of puppets, ride the lightning, and kill em all. death magnetic seemed like there were 16 different riffs a song and a total of 12 awesome riffs on the album so its like i would enjoy the first 30 seconds of a song and the rest of it would be almost unbearable to listen to. one album that i think you missed though doug was twilight of the thunder gods by amon amarth
if you havent heard of the band they are this hella sick sweedish viking-metal band and i highly recommend you check em out. they sound like iron maiden if dave murray and adrian smith just tuned their guitars down two steps lol.
and if you couldnt tell by some of the lingo i used i too am a musician. i have been playing guitar for about 2 and a half years now i think. but music and theme parks are definitely the two greatest things in the world. _________________

Wazomike... Where to begin... I'll start by saying I pretty much agree with everything you said.
Many people don't care for Slipknot's newest album because they are maturing with each album. I think most people want to hear the "Drop B Choas" rather than a beautifully structured song, which this album is FULL of (don't get me wrong though, I love the crazy s*** too). Slipknot put their Time and Souls into each of these songs and turned them into "actual" compositions.
Death Magnetic is awful. Not as bad as St. Anger, but not much better.
Amon Amarth... come on man! j/k I love Amon Amarth; I have Once Sent , The Crusher, The Avenger, Fate of Norns, With Oden on Our Side. As for Twilight of the Thunder Gods - you're right I did miss that one. However, I actually did not care for it as much as With Oden or The Crusher (which is still my favorite AA Album). Also, I admit I'm always disappointed with each new Amon Amarth albulm because I'm still waiting for an Epoch Song to top "Victory March." I know it's silly, but whatever. _________________ Doug Barnes

Neaera- Armamentarium
It's an amazing album! They sound like a mix of Black Dahlia Murder and Amon Amarth... Great Stuff!!!
Easliy in my top ten of 2008 (good bye Haste the Day).
