OT: Best new album you've heard in the past couple years

I have a hard time not nominating Stadium Arcadium by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Listening to it now, months after first release, and it's just deep and incredible rhythms. Very guitar-forward album, really showcases the talent of their incredible lead guitarist, John Frusciante, who first joined the band at age 18, having never been in another rock band.... that's not bad, to go from playing guitar in your basement to the Red Hot Chili Peppers... and there's a reason, this guy is so unique...
Only complaint: Could have released this as a single rather than double CD, because they really have the better part of two CLASSIC albums here.
