Default No particular order

A Place to Burry Strangers - Onwards to the Wall (EP)
Their are creating a very unique sound, very haunting

James Iha - Look to the Sky
Way better than his first release, it has everything the new pumpkins is missing

IdiotHead - Free Market Music (EP)
Polish band, a form of industrial nu-metal, don't know exactly how to describe, they used to be called Co.In and they used to be heavier, but this is good also

Last Step - Sleep
IDM composed while Aaron Funk (Venetian Snares) was falling asleep. Very interesting.

mewithoutyou - Ten Stories
I dislike the indie route they were following, so they decided to turn the electric guitars again, it's not their best, but it is good

Sarah MacIntosh - Current
Gospel/folk with orchestral and electronic arragements, very rich music

Mark Lanegan - Blues Funeral
Amazing electronic album. His voice isn't the same as it used to be on the Screaming Trees, but it fits perfectly the new musical direction.

††† - EPs
I guess I like everything from Chino Moreno, though Team Sleep is still my favorite.

Disappointments:
- Smashing Pumpkins - Oceania, it is not bad, but I was expecting much more from the samples...
- Marilyn Manson - Born Villain, I have no idea why I gave this a try

Still haven't checked out:
- The Samuel Jackson Five - Selft Titled, post-rock with vocals, couldn't find a link
- Nada Surf - The Stars are Indifferent to Us, I listened to it, but didn't pay much attention, their last album was very good
- P.J. Harvey - Let England Shake, also didn't payed much attention, gonna give it another try
- Fiona Apple - The Idler Wheel..., if it is as good as her past releases I'm going to have a new favorite for the year
- Blue Foundation - In My Mind I Am Free, not very familiar with this trip-hop collective, but people are enjoying this a lot
- The Mars Volta - Noctourniquet, I have listened to the samples but I was at work, don't remember much
- Jack White - Blunderbuss, I have no idea why I haven't checked this already

Looking foward to:

- The Killers - Battle Born
- MGMT - MGMT
- Tool - ? (if they are really releasing something)
- The Wallflowers - ?
- Beck - ? (The single with Jack White was awesome)
- Deftones - Eros (Diamond Eyes was awesome)
