I listened to The Monitor by Titus Andronicus earlier this week. All I can say is that it easily blows the hell out of any other album Ive heard this year. How about you?

Only new album I've listened to this year was Plastic Beach. It was decent.

Midlake - The Courage of Others. 
Thanks to Dave Snider who recommended it. 
Acts of Man is goose bumps-inducing.

Demon Hunter's The World is a Thorn 
Demon Hunter's The World is a Thorn 

 I've followed these guys since they started, and they have always delivered an incredible album.  This time around, they have a new guitarist who can shred pretty damn well and adds another layer to their music.  Yogi's drumming on this album fits perfectly into everything.  Both Ryan's clean vocals and growls are incredibly heartfelt and powerful.  There is a lot of ground covered in this album, from ballads like "Driving Nails" to their typical core-style like "Shallow Water" to mosh stomp anthems like "Lifewar", and the title track is fast and brutal. 
 
In short, I'm still partial to The Triptych and Storm The Gates of Hell, but The World is a Thorn is an incredibly powerful record that I'll be spinning for a long time this year. 
 
Here's two of my favorite tracks on the album:

I haven't liked Deftones since Around The Fur.  Everything from White Pony after just grates my nerves.  Chino needs to realize he can't sing.

Damn, I haven't been following them very closely and didn't even realize they were releasing a new album... 
 
On topic: The only album I think I've listened to this year is Plastic Beach...it's a pretty cool album.   
 
I'm actually looking forward to Mystikal's album (assuming he releases one this year) which might seem way out in left field, but I have some varied tastes lol

A lot of people are saying Gorillaz' Plastic Beach.  While I think it's a good album, it doesn't feel like Gorillaz to me.  I just don't see any of the personalities on that album.  Maybe it's just me.  Then again, I think I care more about Hewlett's excellent animation work with Gorillaz than I do about the music.

I figure most Deftones fans would have seen the new video for Rocket skates but if you haven't, here it is

Literally got it minutes ago, will give it a listen tomorrow and post thoughts perhaps.  My favorite so far?  Local Native's Gorilla Manor.  AMAZING.  So stoked to see them at Coachella!

I haven't listened to anything from this year besides the new Burzum, and the ME2 score, so... the ME2 score? does that count?

Holy shit bro.
 
I read the thread title, and was like "Oh, definitely The Monitor by Titus Andronicus."
 
Then I clicked it and that was the topic post. CRAZY.  Yeah, just discovered it from another artist's blog post, they recommended it. I'm going to see them live on the 30th, gonna be awesome.

Plastic Beach by the Gorillaz currently, although the new Foxy Shazam has been getting a ton of play on my ipod the past week.

Now that I've had a chance to hear it, I'm also digging the fuck out of Deftones' Diamond Eyes.  It's got the crunch of Around The Fur mixed with some of the melody of Saturday Night Wrist...and the Around The Fur part is the one that matters more to me.

As much as I would LOVE to say LOVE By Angels and Airwaves has been my favorite album of 2010 it just isn't that great.
 
But my favorite album of 2010 has to be Enemy Of The World by Four Year Strong
