Что интересно, в этом году довольно легко выделить альбомы получше... 2008-й в целом покруче был, очень много классных альбомов, из которых было трудно выбирать. Что ещё удивительнее, первое место отдаю альтернативе! Long live

Первым двум ставлю 9/10, остальным -- от 8 до 8.5 (не привожу, т.к. топ после первых двух мест достаточно субъективный -- объективно надо бы 3-4 позиции поменять, но не буду
).
