Another random topic - albums that you were looking forward to this year (whether due to hype or you liked the band/singer's previous stuff) but that proved underwhelming or just plain bad (aka the Human After All/Around The Sun award)

First Impressions of Earth - The Strokes (they should stick to albums that last 30 mins or so, as it was about that point on this album that the songs dried up)

The Hardest Way... - The Streets (Never Went To Church excepted)

Those The Brokes - The Magic Numbers (felt one paced)

That said, I still feel all these acts have the potential to bounce back *waits for the torrent of rotten fruit* - but any suggestions from others?
