Thumbs Down's Top 3 Albums Of 2008

Well, here we go! Which albums made it into the top 3 for 2008? Let's find out, shall we? I know you're on the edge of your seat, so lets get to it.
3.Guns N Roses-Chinese Democracy. No, that's not a typo. This album is really that good. Okay, maybe I'm a little biased because I'm a big mark for Axl Rose, but these songs are really solid. It's fun to listen to. There's some great melodies and the guitar work is fucking amazing. I still say the Steven Adler was the best drummer they ever had and here the drums aren't exciting. But the songs are just epic. There was no way this album could have lived up to the hype after all these years. But it certainly delivered as far as I'm concerned.
2. Lil Wayne-The Carter 3. It's not all rock and metal on my list. I have to go along with everyone else and admit the greatness that was The Carter 3. Having been a fan of Wayne since the Hot Boys days, it's been fun to watch him turn into one of the biggest names in music today. "Lollipop" was one of the biggest songs of the year. "A Milli" and "Got Money"were right behind it and "Mrs Officer" is following right along. This album still has legs. Not a big fan of Robin Thicke being on this album, but that goes without saying. I have a feeling this will be his peak, but you never know.
And finally the number 1 album of the year is...

Local H- 12 Angry Months-I'm sure this comes as no surprise. The album that isn't on anyones list for the year but really should be. Yes, Local H is still around. Not only that but they've made the best album of their career. If you've ever had a rough breakup, this album is for you. Each song represents a month of feelings about a breakup. From trying to get back your record collection ("Where's all my Kyuss records/You never liked em until you met me") to meeting your ex's new boyfriend ("BMW Man"). From being sad about the split, to trying to move on to someone new ("Taxi Cabs") it covers it all. Not to mention how catchy alot of these songs are. Bottom line: You NEED to hear this album. It's good enough be my #1 album this year.
