Off the top of my head I've enjoyed Slave Ambient by The War On Drugs, Watch The Throne by Jay Z and Kanye West, Wasting Light by the Foo Fighters and Tao of The Dead by Trail of Dead.

Kanye West managed to sneak into my top 10 last year and I've heard that his (and Jay Z) new record is even better.

I wouldn't say its better than My Beautiful, Dark, Twisted Fantasy but Watch the Throne is still really damn good.

I forgot what's my favorite album this year thus far: Pickin Up the Pieces by Fitz and The Tantrums. What a great soul record!
