In Rainbows was released in October of 2007. It is definitely better than any 2008 release, that's for sure. But it wasn't released in 2008.

The cutoff for an album's chances is September 30th, which is why HTDAAB won 2005's album of the year.
Personally I think Viva will take Album of the Year. It has a complete feel, has the radio hit of the summer, and it has some great Coldplay songs for their possible later years. Violet Hill, Lost and Lovers In Japan (the singles) are great songs that I think a lot of people would enjoy. DO I DARE MENTION THE TITLE TRACKS? Well, DAAHF does deserve a nod. IMO the best song of the album along with Lovers, and one of my absolute favorite songs ever. Then there's Viva. Summer hit. It's only competition IMO is Bleeding Love, which is a really good song. Hopefully people are sick of that one by now.
I will mention two other things. As rmann said, Britney Spears' album blah blah blah and so on. Well said, well said
The other thing is THE CARTER III. Wayne wayne go away, oh did I mention he skipped out on Boston two years in a row? I'm surprised my friends don't hate him by now. Which leads me to this: If lil wayne releases an album next year, it won't win anything. Why? Kanye's next album is due out in June. Last time Kanye West was challenged, he put out some of his best work. But enough of this chit chat about hip hop, because we all know 2009 will go to U2. My hope is that we get to see an album, because I've heard no news.
So long story short (after rambling for a while now), Coldplay pick up a few grammys for this year, some people are mad, I'm happy, and 2009 belongs to U2. Thank you, have a nice day!
