What I've been listening to:
Testament - The Formation Of Damnation
Vampire Weekend (self-titled) and Consolers of the Lonely by The Raconteurs are both smurfing amazing.
1. Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend
2. The Raconteurs - Consolers of the Lonely
3. Panic at the Disco - Pretty.Odd.
4. Electric President - Sleep Well
5. Counting Crows - Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings
6. Jason Mraz - We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things
7. The Grand Archives - Grand Archives
8. Goldfinger - Hello Destiny
I doubt anyone's heard of Electric President or The Grand Archives, but they're both excellent indie bands that deserve checking out.
Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend
Kleos - Picture Atlantic
Viva La Vida - Coldplay
Vampire weekend wonderful band. Picture Atlantic is a band from San Jose/Oakland, Ca area. Wonderful band was one of the openers for Coldplay's Viva La Vida concert in San Jose (which I went to). and Coldplay what can I say.
Hm, I liked the new City And Colour, and then Russian Circles' Station was great. I guess those would be my favourites, though I haven't really been on the ball with new music this year.

Will be either November or December.Originally Posted by I Took the Red Pill
and uhh, I'm gonna say Viva la Vida for now.
I dont have many albums from this year. the ones i would say are
Stop, Drop and Roll!!! - Foxborough Hot Tubs
The Lord Of The Rings Musical Soundtrack
Pretty. Odd. - Panic At The Disco
Rotation - Cute Is What We Aim For
and All Hope Is Gone - Slipknot when that comes out
I think I am missing a couple but...
Opeth - Watershed
To-Mera - Delusions
Esoteric - The Maniacal Vale
Draconian - Turn Season Within
Therion - Live Gothic
Virgin Black - Requiem: Fortissimo
I'm gonna start sounding like a broken record, but my most frequented forum Five Eight Forums is home to some of the absolute biggest fans of Opeth, To-Mera, Esoteric, and Virgin Black you will ever meet. Therion and Draconian are not unrepresented themselves. You really would find a home in the music discussion board, either talking about bands like these or getting recommendations for stuff in a similar vein.

So far this year I haven't payed attention to a lot of new releases. I've gotten the latest by a few core favorite bands but I've spent most of the year catching up on old (not necessarily ancient, but a mix of stuff spanning hundreds of years ago to just a few years ago) music that I really wanted to hear and it all seemed a lot more pressing & highly recommended than just the newest stuff on the block. That's kind of how my priorities have been lately. I don't usually get into all the newest albums from a given year until at least the following year, after hype has died-down and settled and I can get a more accurate opinion of where exactly this new music falls relative to all the other music out there, and specifically in that particular artist's catalogue.
1. Watershed by Opeth
2. The White by Agalloch
3. Tulimyrsky by Moonsorrow
4. Board Up The House by Genghis Tron
Literally the only four albums this year to impress me.
No wait I forgot Thrice's last two volumes of The Alchemy Index, I listened to those nonstop when I first picked them up.
