Porcupine Tree - Deadwing
Opeth - Ghost Reveries
Arcade Fire - Funeral
Strapping Young Lad - Alien
Bloc Party - Silent Alarm
Paradise Lost - Paradise Lost
Trivium - Ascendancy
Twinzero - Monolith
Arch Enemy - Doomsday Machine
Pelican - The Fire In Our Throats Will Beckon The Thaw

Honorable mentions to:
Tori Amos - The Beekeeper
Martha Wainright - Martha Wainright
Elbow - Leaders Of The Free World (which would be in the top ten if I had actually managed to buy it yet)
Team Sleep - Team Sleep
Modest Mouse - Good News For People Who Love Bad News (even though it technically came out last year lol)
Cradle Of Filth - Nymphetamine (surprisingly excellent)
Bright Eyes - I'm Wide Awake, And It's Morning
Akercocke - Words That Go Unspoken, Deeds That Go Undone
Ulver - Blood Inside
