The Tallest Man on Earth - Wild Hunt - already mentioned but if you are driving anywhere in the countryside this weekend make this your soundtrack

Jason Coliett - Rat a Tat Tat

Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse - Dark Night of the Soul

Citay - Dream Get Together

Born Ruffians - Say It

The Black Crowes - Crowology

And did no one really mention these three

Band of Horses Infinite Arms

Two out of the three of those records fall into my "Dissappointment of the Year" category. Find out which ones when I post my thoughts at the end of the year!

Well I hope for your sake the disappointments are Band Of Horses and Vampire Weekend as both albums are shite to my ears and the BSS record is super-duper-strong.

Top disappointments for me were definetly;

The New Pornographers - Together

Jason Collett - Rat a Tat Tat

Both albums I was dying to hear both albums turned out to be giant buckets of poo IMO.

The new kids helped salvage the pride of Canadian indie this year

Zeus - Say Us

Ra Ra Riot - The Orchard

Both great albums!

Definitely agree (hard not to) about The National's, have to admit this is the first New Pornographers I've ever liked (although it's prog poppishness and lovey dovey lyrics suit my Golden Dogs sensibility), have to agree that Four Tet's is a sublimely good album.

Gotta agree about Zeus, disagree about Collett. BSS come on fuhgedaboutit.

I hope that there are still some good albums to come this year, but my favourites so far:

Drive-by Truckers - Big To Do

The Hold Steady - Heaven is Whenever

Titus Andronicus - The Monitor

The Whigs - In the Dark

Huron - s/t

Hollerado - Record in a Bag

Ted Leo & the Pharmacists - Brutalist Bricks

My disappointment so far is Deer Tick - Black Dirt Sessions. I think it's the only album of theirs I don't like.

Agreed. Not sure what happened there.

My list (so far) is pretty similar to yours. There still is rarely a day in the week I don't listen to all of Titus Andronicus's The Monitor. I really like The National's album too.
