All right, I reserve the right to TOTALLY CHANGE MY MIND about this whole thing as soon as I hit "submit," but at the moment, my Top 10 (in no particular order) goes like so:

Bob Mould - Silver Age
Free Electric State - Monumental Life
Aesop Rock - Skelethon
King Tuff - King Tuff
Mission of Burma - Unsound
Sweet Love - Motor
Torche - Harmonicraft
Mark Lanegan Band - Blues Funeral
Ringo Deathstarr - Mauve
Alec K Redfearn & the Eyesores - Sister Death

Mark Lanegan Band - Blues Funeral

How the fuck did I forget that? Best thing Lanegan's ever done imo (and I say this as a big fan of screaming trees and his stint in qotsa).

[WeHuntKings]

earth's latest album slaaaays me.

nocturnal poisoning's debut is beautiful too, been playing it constantly.

love the new jodis.

the new nihills kicks some serious ass too.

[foomanfat]

The Chariot - One Wing
Every Time I Die - Ex-Lives
Wayfarer - The River
Pomplamoose - Hey It's Pomplamoose
The Welcome Wagon - Precious Remedies Against Satan’s Devices
Between The Buried And Me - The Parallax II: Future Sequence

Still waiting on the new Listener album.

If you like late 50's or 60's soul music check out
Times all gone by Nick Waterhouse

Seriously awesome. Sounds like something that should have come out in 58'.... but it came out this year

[nuclearfamily]

Also I listened to The Seer by Swans a ton. The whole triple LP thing seemed like it was going to be a bit much but it still more kept my attention the whole way through.

The new Fiona Apple album sticks out in my mind too. I love how minimal the production was.

The first Glacial (Lee Ranaldo, Tony Buck and David Watson) album was really enjoyable too.

Of course the new GYBE album was really good.

Celebration Rock by Japandroids was a super fun album. Nothing groundbreaking but just a ton of fun.

[Atrox]

Hm, I'd say the best album is Mark Tremonti's All I Was.

[dase]

pending because I've only listened to them both a couple times, but, Sleepies 'weird wide world' and the Acid Problem LP are both ruling kinda hard right now.

[StopReferencing]

Black Bananas - Rad Time Xpress IV
Tim Berne - Snakeoil

[voerking]

Tim Berne - Snakeoil

i need to grab this! tim berne is awesome.

[Greenfuz]

ty segall fuckin rocked this year


the new crazy horse album is great too

[D.o.S.]

I've tried to listen to psychedelic pill a half dozen times, but the production kills me.

That said, Swans' The Seer is fucking tops.

[Greenfuz]

I might be a little biased because I went and saw em like last week, but dude walk like a giant is such an awesome jam

a) nah, it's just an awesome jam
b) I am so fucking jealous right now, they had better be touring the UK for this record.

Just came into this thread to post about Psychedelic Pill so glad to see it getting mentioned already! Amazing album with some tracks that are already future classics imho (Walk Like A Giant and Ramada Inn).

The guitar meltdown in WLAG slays me every time!

EDIT: Also I second the hope that they tour the UK, or Ireland to be more specific
