Devin Townsend Project's Deconstruction just edges out Phideaux's Snowtorch from this list, two albums that I enjoy end to end and still listen to regularly. 

Many other good releases on the list. I A Moon remains my favourite North Sea Radio Orchestra. Grace for Drowning has some pretty good moments.  Leprous and PJ Harvey are also quite good, although I came to them after this year.

Some other great albums from this year:
Bent Knee - s/t - I don't see this one getting as much love as their later stuff, but honestly they started off strong right out the gate.
Bjork - Biophilia - one of my top by her
Bob Geldof - How To Compose Popular Songs that will Sell - An album of surprisingly well put together rock tracks that, I don't think, sold (the title comes form a book Sir Bob found at the library)
Dave Willy & Friends - Immeasurable Currents - been a while since I listened to this one, but Thinking Plague adjacent poetic music
Deerhoof - Deerhoof vs Evil - my intro to this wild band, and a very good album. A good demonstrate of how these guys merge the playful with the off kilter.

Undecided between Phideaux and Kate Bush...at the end I have voted Phideaux
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

The last of my lists submitted as a collab. I am surprised that I have Kate at number one. Good album but I barely ever listen to it nowadays.

I A Moon also for me. Very good year! William D. Drake, Kate Bush, Ske, Oneohtrix Point Never, Opeth all great. Not listed: Hardcore Will Never Die But You Will is probably my favourite Mogwai album. Meredith Monk - Songs of Ascension is one of several excellent non-prog albums from this year.
