Only one right now to my knowledge-I don't pay a lot of attention to release dates-is Eluveitie - Everything Remains as it Never Was.

LCD Soundsystem -This Is Happening
Joanna Newsom - Have One On Me
Gil Scott Heron - I'm New Here
The National - High Violet

My favorite of the lot has to be This Is Happening. By far his best album to date!

The Grinch Who Nearly Stole Fester's Lucky 13

Despite the disappointment of Massive Attack's 2003 album 100th Window, I still had high hopes. Which is why Heligoland got my disappointment of the year award. I did enjoy Tricky's Mixed Race much better, despite the fact that he isn't close to his 90s A-game either.
 
Albums I missed before I made the lists
No matter how hard I try, I always miss possible top 100 contenders. Here's some good albums I've heard in the week between Xmas and NY's.
  • Chico Mann - Analog Drift (Wax Poetics)
  • Ceremony - Rocket Fire (Killer Pimp)
  • 65daysofstatic - We Were Exploding Anyway (Phantom Sound)
  • Tamikrest - Adagh (Glitterhouse)
  • Yellow Swans - Going Places (Type)
  • Current 93 - Baalstorm, Sing Omega (Coptic Cat)
  • Alasdair Roberts & Friends Too Long in This Condition (Drag City)
  • Calle 13 - Entre los que Quieran (Sony U.S. Latin)
  • Choc Quib Town - Oro (Nacional Records)
  • Nico Muhly - I Drink The Air Before Me (Decca)
  • The Posies - Blood/Candy (Rykodisc)
  • Jonathan Richman - O Moon, Queen Of Night On Earth (Vapor)
  • Jaguar Love - Hologram Jams (Fat Possum)
