I don't find really oustanding releases this year (except the Art Zoyd box set), but some 15 that would be worthwhile to be listed in the top 10.

Schnellertollermeier - Rights
Guerilla Toss - GT Ultra
Thinking Plague - Hoping Against Hope
Deerhoof - Mountain Moves
Squintaloo - Über Bord!
Sparks - Hippopotamus
Roger Waters - Is This The Life We Really Want?
Vezhlivy Otkaz - War Songs
Mogwai - Every Country's Sun
Bubblemath - Edit Peptide 

Out of competition (the best in fact, but all older material, if unreleased): Art Zoyd - 44 1/2 Box Set

HM: Battlestations, Nova Collective, Karda Estra, Mike Oldfield, Motorpsycho

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
