Honestly so far there's not much that has really caught my eye... Coldplay's new album doesn't really do it for me (yet anyways, sometimes it takes a while for me to "get" an album)... I actually think that the 2008 CD I've listened the most to so far is a Reggae compilation :S

Dunno if Radiohead's album is billed as '07 for its internet release or '08 for its retail release, but it's the last great album I found

I am guessing Watershed by Opeth but as I haven't gotten to check out the album yet, I am going to have to go with "If" by Mindless Self Indulgence....

The two releases by Fleet Foxes have been great,

Sun Giant - EP

Fleet Foxes

Imagine My Morning Jacket (pre-Evil Urges) with more folk and 60's pop influences. I highly recommend them.

Arsis - We are the nightmare

Children of Bodom - Blooddrunk

Deicide - Till death do us part

BFMV - Scream Aim Fire

But.. the actual BEST one is Opeth - Watershed.

This album was a huge dissapointment for me. I tried to let it grow on me, but it wasn't happening.

Mine was Portishead-Third until Sigur Ros came along and blew it out of the water with Med Sud... something. Can't post the cover, it's a bit NSFW:P Lykke Li is pretty good too, but I think I'm biased by the fact that she's pretty hot.

Blame it on Gravity by the Old 97's.

The Lucky Ones by Mudhoney.

And...

The Slip by Nine Inch Nails.

If you can see past the insanely bad Prince impressions, it's a pretty good album.

I haven't heard a really really good album this year yet.... maybe Portishead's third? (haven't heard it yet). Can someone suggest me something? I really like the alternative electronica/techno/electro/drum 'n bass genres.

They definitely took alot of creative chances, some of which I didn't approve of (Track 3), but overall no other Rock N Roll band has taken the artistic and creative leaps they have over the course of their last 3 albums. Evil Urges will be remembed 10 years from now. The real question is, will any of these other albums?

I just bought The Seldom Seen Kid and thus far I haven't been very impressed (although Grounds for Divorce is filthy -- in a good way). So far I'd say the best album is:

This is by a really good band called under the influence of giants, sounds like an old funk/disco song. It is the only song this year so far that I would have sexual intercorse with or in the background while doing the funky chunky monkey love boogie.

Film-Guy

I though nobody knew about them. They're great. They are like a mix of beegees and something else.
