I've been sampling a lot of stuff this year, but haven't been putting in the ear time to really nail down which are hits and misses. Here's my best guesses.

Hits so far:
Ought - More than any other day (kind of album that makes me want to take an adventure, brings that paranoia/beauty/optimism combo that the Talking Heads captured so well)
The New Pornographers - Brill Bruisers (power alt-pop, first album for me from them)
Lana Del Rey - Ultraviolence (Noir candy, a little silly, but seductive anyway)
Spoon - They Want My Soul (Solid Spoon)
Cold Ward Kids - Hold My Home (Maybe a move to the more conventional, but I like it)
Real Estate - Atlas (a gem of an album)

More of the same, but good:
Sun Kil Moon - Benji (very good)
The Antlers - Familiars
The War on Drugs - Lost in the Dream

More of the same but fell short for me:
Beck - Morning Phase (wonderful production though)
Andrew Bird - Thinks are really great here, sort of (maybe I’ve just had enough)
Jack White - Lazaretto (probably be a great album by anyone else. Anyone who didn’t already have some ground breaking albums behind them. Probably should give it another listen)
Camper Van Beethoven - El Camino Real (called it in)
