Okay, these are in no order, just my favorites so far:
Pearl Jam / Backspacer (Okay, this might be my # 1 so far )
Company of Thieves / Ordinary Riches (Got to see them a few weeks back and they are great live, too)
Wilco / Wilco (The Album) (Another great album from Wilco)
Heartless Bastards / The Mountain (This band rocks)
Black Crowes / Before the Frost ... Until the Freeze (The best work from them in a decade)
Yeah Yeah Yeahs / It's Blitz (They are my favorite band of the moment, besides PJ, and they put on my favorite show of the year when I saw them a few months back)
Hard to leave out any of the Beatles remasters as well - I realize they aren't new albums, but I'm having a great time listening to the pristine audio of the remastered White Album and Revolver so far!

How could I forget one more: Brendan Benson's My Old Familiar Friend! The album and especially the song "A Whole Better" were on constant rotation for me until Backspacer showed up. Great, great album.
