Most of the other stuff I bought that was released in 2008 was either "that's grand" good (eg. the breeders, the notwist, King's X) or plain disappointing (eg Slipknot, Marillion). Nothing I go as far as call crap.

edit: then there's the ones I've bought but barely listened to yet (must correct that). Like Jonathan Richman, Sloan, Wedding Present....
