I am always on the lookout for great new CD's, so does anyone have suggestions for 2008 releases?

My favorite so far is "rooks" by shearwater

Here's a tip and it's a great one even if I do say so myself: metacritic.

Now, I understand people's aversion to critics but the great thing about this site is that it takes an average from numerous (minimum- seven) reviews in quality publications. It's opened my eyes (ears) to many things I would never otherwise have listened to.

I really appreciate the 'Best of' lists for each year, eg. http://www.metacritic.com/music/bests/2007.shtml . I pretty much use them for all my music-buying inspiration.

I also use metacritic, but most of their highly rated releases are not for me, but saying that, that is how i picked up on Shearwater.

strangely, if you go to their movie page, they rank "Superman 2" incredibly high.

If you weed through the crap and the annoying pretentious writing style there's a lot of great music to be found at pitchforkmedia.com

Superman 2 is a great movie when you think about it; it has great villians (a smooth talking/sounding Brit. accent in Terrence Stamp, the sexy short haired minx, and a big mute Baltic looking bearded s.o.b.). Not to mention a pretty sexy story; Superman does the nasty with L. Lane in a castle of ice (WOW). Cutting edge special effects, and a wry sense of humor.
