Don't listen to the disappointed metalheads, they don't get it.

Followed by Guapo, Elephant9, Mothlite and Secret Chiefs 3 (haven't heard Rational Diet's new yet) 
Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

Either of these easily deserve it. I'm not sure I can parse the difference in awesomeness between these two.

I thought I might be alone with Watershed! It was not as well received here as I thought it'd be. I honestly find it more progressive than some previous releases?

My personal favorite, though there may be a bit of an end of the year bias here, is Steven Wilson's Insurgentes
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

The best new album from 2008 that I have heard is Shooting Albatross by Abel Ganz.  And I'll bet there won't be many other votes for that, if any.
