5) The Mars Volta - Cotopaxi
That riff.

4) Mastodon - The Last Baron
Those riffs.

3) mewtihoutYou - The King Beetle on a Coconut Estate
Quality storytelling. Amazing orchestration.

2) Tubelord - Somewhere Out There a Dog is on Fire
Highlight of a fustratingly patchy album.

1) cats and cats and cats - The Boy with the Beak
Awesome key change. Boy, these guys have an ear for melody.

Very close to putting Radiohead - These are My Twisted Words in here. Hypnotic track.
