2010 favourite albums so far

Sorry if this is a blatant rip-off of

BEST OF 2009 By idiotPrayer, Today at 1:45pm

But what is your favourite, or favourites, of 2010 so far?  Of course as new favourites come along you can mention those.  And please rate you choices using on a scale of one to five

The first album I heard from 2010 is still my favourite (got that one not long after it was released and it's still about the only one I've heard from 2010):



I would give it four and a half headbangers.  What, you don't think it that headbanging worthy? I understand, I mean it doesn't even have a single head to bang.  How about four and a half decapitated torsos instead?  Now that sounds really metal.

I'm sure I'll pick up that album at some time as I do like Jizzy Jaggist -- I mean Jazzy Jiggist, I mean, oh you know what I mean.  ;)  I like the band muchly.  And I'd hella love to get that Davis boxset.

incredibly talented scottish duo called north atlantic oscillation, this is their debut. the masterpiece is called grappling hooks. ain't gonna give it no headbangers though

other good ones:
meshuggah - alive
massive attack - heligoland
orphaned land - the never ending way of the orwarrior

Circle of Ouroborus released an amazing neofolk album "Hiljaiset Sanat" this year, although they are commonly black metal. It's probably the best thing I've heard so far this year, too bad it was limited to a frigging 100 handnumbered tapes, luckily I managed to get tape number "100/100", haha.

Cosmic Church and Tyhjyys released great debut albums this year also, amazing melancholic black metal in the usual Finnish way.

And from non-metal-related, I have greatly enjoyed the new albums of Midlake and Shearwater.

Have One on Me.

Did you get into MEM or Ys previously?

Indeed and it's happened to me in that regard as well, they are 'grower' albums

Well as of now I only have two albums from 2010 rated five stars, Bleeding Through by Bleeding Through and The Family Jewels by Marina & The Diamonds. I have a feeling Down the Way by Angus & Julia Stone may join them.

Alcest - Ecailles de lune

Adding to my list. This ones scorching its mark on my mind.

Annette Krebs / Taku Unami - motubachii

The new Falcao and Monashee is pleasant, boarding on good, as well.
