Not heard Mammoth yet, so for me, the choice so far is:



Legacy - Hypnos 69

Oops - just realised...it was a 2010 album!

I've heard three albums from 2011, and although I love Beardfish and Destined Solitaire was one of my top albums of 2009, I have to admit that it wasn't as good as I hoped. Regardless of that it's still a highly enjoyable album, but I'd say both Phideaux and Make a Rising released better works so far this year.

I agree, though I have not heard too many albums yet from this year.  I am expecting good things from Road Salt 2.
PROG ON!!!

I've only heard one new album from this year so far so my choice is easy!
 
AltaAvia - Girt Dog
 
good album (3.5/5) of the neo prog variety although there is nothing there I would call derivative. Just cool well crafted songs. Very enjoyable.

I've heard five 2011 releases so far, but it's too early to speculate!

I've got 21 albums from this year so far and Fen's Epoch is easily the best I've heard so far, such a powerful, emotional album its brilliant.

Admitedly, Hiromi's Voice, Credo's Against Reason, The Tangnets Going Off on Two and Altar of Plagues Mammal have all only recently turned up and I've got others on the way so that could very easily change.

But Gloss Drop isn't out yet! Are you admitting to piracy? 

Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues wins for me overall but phideaux gets the prog album

This is my fave of the year so far, though admittedly I haven't heard a lot of 2011 stuff yet.

I actually found the Fleet Foxes album a little disappointing, I loved the debut.
