I'm still in the middle of gathering all the half year lists of 2008! A list of the best albums of 2008 so far according to all Moggers. If you haven't voted yet, go to this thread: http://mog.com/SA/blog_post/169238 and post your top 10 albums of 2008 so far.
On to my number 8:
Band: Fuck Buttons
Album: Street Horrrsing
Best Track: N/A
Best Line: N/A
In Words: Instrumental... claustrophobic... haunting... mesmerizing...
There is no way you can pick a best track for this album. The album consists of six tracks- except one all over 7 minutes- and all consist of droning noises. So what makes this debut album so good then? It's unexplicable really, but listen to it when you're alone, or commuting with a good headset on, and it grabbed me like no other. The primal drums, the occassional screeching noises, and all the other sounds mesh into this strange, claustrophobic atmosphere. Did I already mention that this year, with only a few exceptions (Cave, obviously) it is the year of instrumental and instrument driven albums?

I've heard Ribs Out and it was great. Very bad band name tho, I have to say.
One more added....so many albums, so little time..
PS I'm not e-stalking you, it's just that I now managed to go through :)
