Have bought precisely two albums this year that released this year (Zeit by Rammstein & Opvs Contra Natvram by Behemoth), so I can't rank them formally. Behemoth's flows better from song to song, though Rammstein's features one of my favorite jarring shifts in an album, going from Angst to Dicke Titten.

However, this leads down a side path because of the CD's I've got loaded in my car:
Songs of Love and Death by Me and that Man
Opvs Contra Natvram by Behemoth (mostly because same dude on lead vocals as the bulk of CD1, which is his side project)

The Coheed & Cambria album with Welcome Home on it
Social Distortion's self-title album because Track 5 is their cover of Ring of Fire which is my personal template on how to properly add to a cover of a song
Wildhoney by Tiamat
