I don't know how people get enough time to listen to so many new albums in a year - not when there's so much old stuff to explore, too.

Nevertheless, I'll give you my top 3:

1. Sea Sew - Lisa Hannigan
2. Dark Days/Light Years - Super Furry Animals
3. The Eternal - Sonic Youth

I can't really choose between 2 and 3, but I'm going with that order.

1. Merriweather Post Pavilion- Animal Collective
2. Bitte Orca- Dirty Projectors
3. Far- Regina Spektor
4. Veckatimest- Grizzly Bear
5. Eskimo Snow- Why?
6. Dragonslayer- Sunset Rubdown
7. Aim and Ignite- fun.
8. Hospice- The Antlers
9. Embryonic- The Flaming Lips

11. The Hazards of Love- The Decemberists
12. My Weakness is Strong- Patton Oswalt
13. My Maudlin Career- Camera Obscura

I enjoyed a number of albums this year my top three would be:

1.silversun pickups - swoon
2.japandroids - post nothing
3.metric - fantasies

i wouldn't know how to rank the rest, so in alphabetical order...
trail of dead - century of self
cage the elephant - self titled
cut off your hands - you and i
dinosaur jr. - farm
flyleaf - memento mori
the fray - self titled
modest mouse - no one's first and you're next
paramore - brand new eyes
placebo - battle for the sun
say anything - self titled
taking back Sunday - new again
third eye blind - ursa major

like Brendan said there were some disappointments, unfortunately the fun. album fell in there for me. i haven't even bothered listening to raditude based on a desire to not be let down.
