BRYAN SCARY AND THE SHREDDING TEARS - flight of the knife
RACONTEURS - consolers of the lonely
BLACK MOUNTAIN - in the future

Tape - Luminarium
Iron And Wine - Lovesong Of The Buzzard
Brendan Canning - Something For All Of Us
Emanuele Errante - Humus
Irezumi - Endurance
Newworldaquarium - The Dead Bears

Dissapointing: Flogging Molly - Float

This one

 

[monolith]

Some serious music is going to have to come out to dethrone 5ive's "Hesperus" as the best album of this year.

 

[MoonShine]

Thanks en480c4 for Kira Lynn Cain.
Kind of obscure, I had to go to her myspace to get samples and it sounded great so I ordered it from Amazon.

My favorites so far:

Amethystium - Isabliss

Elbow - The Seldom Seen Kid

 

[elbuzzard]

beck-modern guilt
radiohead-in rainbows
black mountain-in the future
black keys- attack and release
Steve Malkmus and jicks-real emotional trash
and .....
BREASTS

buzz, I'm shocked this would make your list. No way could I imagine this left-field selection!

*sarcasm*

 

[tru blu]

Wussy - Left for Dead
JD Allen Trio - I Am I Am

 

[The Rover]

NIN - The Slip

It's not as good as Year Zero, but still much better than most music released nowadays. I haven't listened to Ghosts much, but from what I can tell, it doesn't give the "album feel".

Jesu/Envy - split EP

While the Jesu-tracks were a mild dissappointment, envy (as a totally new band for me) was definately a great find.

Sigur Rós - Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust

The album seems to mix newer pop-style and the old ambient-style with great success. Definately an improvement in style from their previous effort 'Takk' (which was very good too).

Coldplay - Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends

Great production and songwriting. This is what pop-albums should be like.

Opeth - Watershed

An amazing album, as expected, but at times it feels that something is missing. Could be the line-up changes...

 

[Denver Max]

Shai Hulud - Misanthropy Pure
Russian Circles - Station
Misery Signals - Controller
