It's an '06 release in the States, but I would have included it if I didn't own in in '05 as well (thank you, emusic).

Tool might have been a little dissapointing, but it by far has the best packaging for a CD I think I've ever seen.
 
 Pearl Jam was not dissapointing, IMO.  Not by a longshot.

I was going to mention this, too.  It's absolutely awesome.  One of the best albums I've picked up all year

I'm a little surprised no one has mentioned Band of Horses' "Everything All the Time" or  "The Dust of Retreat" by Margot & the Nuclear So-and-So's.
 
 I gather I'm the only one around here who isn't disappointed by The Raconteurs' album....

Noo, I'm not disappointed by The Raconteurs' album, either.  I didn't expect the second coming of jesus, or anything.  For what it's worth, it's a fun little rock record.  That does the trick enough for me.
 
 Also, Margo & The Nuclear So and So's put together an awesome record.
 
 The Elected's Sun, Sun, Sun, and Jenny Lewis' record probably round out my top two.  And I as well am really diggin' Be Your Own Pet.

[Mobius]

I think Babyshambles' Down in Albion is surprisingly good.

[brennser]

generally agree with some of the selections posted here
 
 so far I like
 
 Belle and Seb
 Wolfmother
 Margot
 Neil Young
 Campbell/Lanegan
 Howe Gelb
 Destroyer
 Alejandro
 Neko
 
 slightly dissapointed in
 
 Twilight Singers
 Arctic Monkeys
 
 lots of stuff I need to listen to more
 Calexico

[redsock]

Hmmm, no one has mentioned Mates of State's new album. My favorite record of the year, by far. Though Band of Horses, Tilly and the Wall, B.Fleishmann, TVOTR and Ladytron all put out very good albums.
 
 I still have piles upon piles of stuff to hear though...
