My personal ranking list of albums that were proper releases that I purchased in 2008. I spent the entire December getting one listen in of each album and making snap judgments of them as I go along. Probably not the best way to do it, but oh well. I wasn't able to get to two albums, which were Matthew Cooper's Miniatures and Eksi Ekso's I Am Your Bastard Wings. Anyways, enjoy the list!

Good to see so much instrumental rock. Especially Daturah, that album sounds better with every listen.
