Not Bad, but not as good as they should have been: The Killers, Santogold, Death Cab for Cutie, Kings of Leon

And these are my favorite albums which weren't new, but were new to me because somehow I missed them whenever they came out. They made 2008 that much better. . .

*Cut Copy, Bright Like Neon Love
