- More Kanye West
After the tidal wave of hype that brought so many new band's to the worlds attention last year, 2008 was always going to be the year that welcomed the return of established names. And with new releases from Coldplay, Kings of Leon, Lil' Wayne and Kanye West to name but a few, that was certainly the case.
But, as our Top-50 albums of 2008 shows, there was still a considerable surge of new talent which, alongside the big-guns, helped provide yet another unforgettable year of album releases.

50. Mystery Jets – '21' - So now that daddy has left the band, Mystery Jets are going all 80’s - how ironic. Honestly though, ‘21’ might be slightly retro, but it is also innovative, creative and thoughtful. Embracing more mainstream synth melodies, and getting rid of their indulgent hippie sound masturbation of the past, results in a renewed vigour and urgency. No more faffing about with endless guitar solos, but only in-your-face tunes is the album’s success recipe proving that Mystery Jets are not afraid to write shamelessly radio-friendly pop songs and are all the better for it.
