Best new band
Airbourne
Disappoinments of the year
Metallica: Death Magnetic:
In brief, Death Magnetic is breathless and dull album. Yes, it’s better than it’s predecessor but there’s not much needed to do that.
New albums of Guns’n Roses of Judas Priest:
Although both albums have a few good tracks, those both are still huge disappoinments. Too much expectations here ….
Breakup of Hanoi Rocks:
It’s sad when one of your alltime favourite bands decides to quit. Fortunately there are still few show to go before it’s over.
Biggest hopes for 2009
New studio albums from KISS and Ace Frehley
The other has been on works since early nineties and the other one was never going to be happen at all… This is going to be really interesting year for KISS fans !

Although this year was a great year in release wise there are many interesting and desirable albums coming on next year.
