Looking to broaden my library and horizons a bit. Genre irrelevant, what have been your favorite albums that have been released in the last 5 years?

the last 2 gorillaz albums & the last muse album are the ones that i really liked over the last 5 years , nothing else really got me into the wow state .

I don't know about the last 5 years, but these records changed my life in the last several...

Luomo "The Present Lover"

Akufen "My Way"

Arcade Fire "Funeral" (Not life changing but damn good)

Cap N Jazz "S/T" (ok over 5 years old but I listen to this record for days in a row every Spring)

Black Starr (Ditto...)

kruder & dorfmeister - k&d sessions. all time classic, production , arrangement...everything pure cream

the bug - pressure.

plaid - double figure.

tool - aenema

nin - downward spiral

some older then 5 years....so what great music is timeless

Beck - Sea Change
The Beatles - Let It Be... Naked
The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
The Crystal Method - Tweekend
Sasha - Airdrawndagger
People Under The Stairs - Original Sound Track

That's off the top of my head from the last 5 years, I'm sure I'm missing some.

DEFINITELY get Blackstar (1998), that album changed me. If you dig that, get Mos Def's Black On Both Sides (1999).

Was going to say this too.

Also Kate Bush - Ariel.

Can't say I listen to much from the last five years though!

Why the hell are you guys pulling out albums from EIGHT years ago? Weak.

Absolution, Origin of Symmetry, and Showbiz by Muse. Absolute must haves.

The kruder & dorfmeister is the ONLY album I've purchased recently...hence my starting the thread.

four tet: rounds
prefuse 73: one word extinguisher
the grouch: crusader for justice
little brother: the minstrel show (9th wonder is a great hip hop producer)

check 'em out, I've listened to each of these tons of times, and still love 'em
