alriiiight, time to post in my own thread!
Obviously this is just drawn from what I've heard.
2008, so far- DSO: the Manifestations collections and Opeth: Watershed are strong contenders, with Arckanum, Nachtmystium, and Enslaved close behind. Need some time to listen to all of 'em more.
2007- My solemn vow of DT fanboyhood obligates me to say Systematic Chaos. If not for that, Fear Of A Blank Planet/Nil Recurring, Phantom Limb, Fas, or Two Hunters might have a shot
2006- Skinless: TTWHTD, closely followed by Oath Bound, Blood In Our Wells, Identisick, Watching From A Distance and Instinct: Decay... 2006 and 2007 both ruled.
2005- Octavarium...? Nah, Crush The Insects! Or Annihilation of The Wicked. Hmmm.
2004- SMRC , of course.
2003- Train of Thought.
2002- Porcupine Tree: In Absentia. (Six Degrees was meh.)
2001- Opeth: Blackwater Park

Just from glancing at my collection:
2000 - Graveland - Creed of Iron
2001 - Morrigan - Plague Waste and Death
2002 - The Chasm - Conjuration of the Spectral Empire
2003 - Nocternity - Onyx / Hail - Inheritance of Evilness
2004 - Dark Tribe - In jeraspunta - Die Rückkehr der tollwütigen Bestie
2005 - Darkness Eternal - Misanthropic Annihilation
2006 - Zemial - In Monumentum
2007 - Necros Christos - Triune Impurity Rites
2008 - Dead Congregation - Graves of the Archangels / Nyktalgia - Peisithanatos
Not particularly difficult... The 90s would be far more fun and challenging. I might do that later.

2008: None yet...
2007: Wolves In The Throne Room - Two Hunters
2006: Drudkh - Blood In Our Wells/Agalloch - Ashes Against the Grain
2005: Deathspell Omega - Kenose
2004: Xasthur/Leviathan
2003: Drudkh - Forgotten Legends
2002: Isis - Oceanic
2001: Opeth - Blackwater Park
2003 and 2004 seemed way more stacked than any other years this decade. The last two have seemed weak, but it's likely I'll come across more releases from them over time.

Handle used to be Malignance, got bored and had it changed at a time when I obsessively listened to DsO and thought Malign Paradigm looked/sounded cooler. SMRC is a great album, no doubt, but it has nothing on Dark Tribe.

Yes. I will pull it out this weekend just to see if my opinion has changed though
I like Kenose way better than SMRC
I actually got that in the mail today. I noticed the final song on the leaked version is missing almost 2 minutes of the song at the end.
2007: Lunar Aurora - Andacht
2006: Peste Noire - La Sanie des siècles - Panégyrique de la dégénérescence
2005 - ???
I give up since I can't pick anything else.

See, I don't think that song would appeal to someone who preferred Kenose. Carnal Malefactor is slower and more repetitive than just about all of the songs on SMRC, and Kenose is built on fast moving songs with a lot of riffs. Sola Fide I and II and Blessed Are The Dead Whiche Dye In The Lorde are the most accessible songs on the album
