Can't remember much that's come out this year, but here's a quick list

Deerhoof - Breakup Song
Chatmonchy - Henshin
David Byrne and St Vincent - Love This Giant
Neil Young with Crazy Horse - Psychadelic Pill
Soundgarden - King Animal (yeah I know it's not released but it's streaming and is completely awesome, fight me.)
Rush - Clockwork Angels


Chances are I've forgotten some great stuff, and there's definitely even more great stuff that I've never heard of!

[snipelfritz]

I think I've only really got into one album this year(out of laziness) . So that's my choice:

Paralytic Stalks - Of Montreal

[coldbrightsunlight]

Chatmonchy - Henshin

Someone else who listens to Chatmonchy? Holy shit. It's amazing how much they've fucking nailed losing their drummer. Replace her with someone else? Nawwwwww, we'll just learn to play drums and do whatever as a duo.

[mathias]

Turns out I don't listen to nearly as much metal (of many varieties) as the rest of you.

Here's my off-the-top-of-my-head list:
Chelsea Wolfe - Unknown Rooms
Grizzly Bear - Shields
Black Moth Super Rainbow - Cobra Juicy
Dinosaur Jr - I Bet On Sky
Andrew Bird - Hands of Glory (just barely slides on this list because it was a great show.. I'm tired of hearing "Railroad Bill" in the office though..)
