I was aiming for 25 but I honestly can't think of anything else that was even decent last year.

The only two I'm familiar with are TuneYards' and Russian Circles' albums though I heard good things about Mr Gnome and Jesu.
I do recommend, if you care to, to go through the thread and see if anybody elses' list has artists you know about that had albums out last year you may have missed. I noticed you didn't think there was a 25th album to add. I felt there was an amazing amount of great albums last year. So much so that I had a top100. Now surely I could have made it a top 80 but that didn't sound great, so I included some albums that I thought were honorable mentions (mind you, I didn't put them up there at all if I didn't enjoy them thoroughly but some aren't mind-blowing, sure). Food for thought.
Thanks for sharing. Better late than never. I wrote my 2010 list in May 2011 for example
