Metallica-Death Magnetic-Much better than what I was expecting. Great album from these guys.

Sigur Ros-Med Sum...-Good album, I didn't like it nearly as much as Takk or () though.

Coldplay-Viva La Vida Or Death/All His Friends-Another great album, I'm not an X&Y hater but it was better than X&Y. Probably still behind ROBTTH though.

Russian Circles-Station-I still have yet to decide if this album is as good as Enter, but Youngblood has to be one of the most kick-ass tracks I've ever heard from a post-rock/metal group.

Heh, the new kayo dot is awesome!
Initially i rated it as 7/10, but I'm liking it even more now. I don't even know how to describe it. Weird avant-garde jazzy experimental rock.
Quite a few ppl dislike it though, cuz...it's weird! But anything weird(in a good way) gets an immediate listen from me. Still doesn't beat their epic debut though.

Anyways, I would add the new Metallica and Postishead as well. Both are worth listening to.
