The Drones' album was pretty badass, need to give that one another go sometime.
Listened to this one today, probably one of my favorites of the year:

Makthaverskan II by Makthaverskan.
Sounds good on the first listen, very poppy, reminds me a lot of Yuck's self-titled which is one of my favorites for the last few years.
EDIT -- Also listened to Haken's album, "The Mountain", which is a progressive metal release and enjoyed it well enough. Didn't appeal to me nearly as much as Makthaverskan's album but had some awesome instrumentation and lyrics that made me laugh (probably not supposed to be funny, though).
The guitarist from Haken is one of the writers for Total Guitar, my guitar mag. Very cool - but was also not my cuppa tea either. Still, nice to see a band try so many styles in one album lol
