There were only maybe six albums this year that passed the "I'll listen to this enough times that the artist deserves my money for it" test.  Not that it was a bad year for music, I just didn't get into much new stuff and went to more shows as opposed to bought music.

That being said, of the albums I bought this year my favorite was...

Future of the Left - the plot against common sense

this was my album of the year as well

astonishingly good - taut, brutal, melodic, funny
