For now, considering I've been out of the loop since forever with the 2008 releases after being very much with it at the start of the year, here's my top 5:
1. The Mars Volta - Bedlam on Goliath
This goes without saying will no doubt remain here now and forever
2. Cor Scorpii - Monument
Many people fail to call this anything better than mediocre, but I felt a connection to this album that was quite profound.
3. Mirrorthrone - Gangrene
My god, this is like a great rollercoaster, it's been ages since I've listened to it though and I should definitely be rectifying that.
4. Opeth - Watershed
Needs no introduction, finally a great Opeth album that doesn't sound stale and mechanical.
5. Meshuggah - obZen
This rapes, once I listen to everything this year has to offer however I don't think it will stay in this list, but I can definitely say it should be on a lot of others.

EDIT: Apparantly Opeth didn't release an album called Bedlamn in Goliath.
