Have any good albums come out/leaked this year? (Yes, I know some have, I could make a list myself, but I want your picks so I can play catch-up).

And what's coming up that might be good?

This is what I put on the P4K board thread which got me thinking about this:

Ja Bitte: Vampire Weekend, Santogold, Fleet Foxes, Lykke Li, Mariah Carey, Danity Kane, Fuck Buttons, Herc & LA.

Nein Danke: Alphabeat, Quiet Village, Madonna, Foals, Magnetic Fields

Undecided/Need More Listens: Wiley, Lil Mama, Ashlee Simpson, Goldfrapp, The Dream, Cut Copy, Booka Shade, Scooter, Dolly Parton, Portishead, anything else I might have heard.

I couldn't make it more than three songs into the Fleet Foxes record, is it worth another go?

Pretty much everything I've liked has been mentioned on this thread. The Raconteurs album is surprisingly great as well, nice and spiky, probably my favourite Jack White related release.

I like it but more as a background soft rock listen - things start to jump out and irritate me if I pay too much attention.
