Not to make this all about them Monkeys, but their new video View from the Afternoon is a great video, and the way the different musical bits are strung together is quite different in this day and age. Still nothing I would listen to, but I can respect it simply because it doesn't follow the old verse-verse-chorus-verse-chorus-solo-chorus structure.

Well, I've heard a few 2006 releases, but I think Novembre's Materia is the best thing what happened to prog in 2006.
Devin Townsend's Synchestra was his best in my eyes, but it just doesn't quite grab me by the horns as Materia.
I haven't listened to Paradox Hotel very much, but often enough to judge it's not as good as Materia is for me.
And Tool is probably too complex for me or something, as I absolutely do NOT understand what all the fuss is about with this band.

Focus on the music... Focus!

I've only heard Tool's 10,000 Days and John Zorn's Film Works XVII: Notes On Marie Menken / Ray Bandar: A Life With Skulls in its entirety so far. Both are very good, but not as good as the band's/artist's very best work. I've heard parts of John Zorn's Malphas - Book Of Angels Volume 3 (performed by Mark Feldman and Sylvie Courvoisier) as well, but I have yet to listen to the entire album. I've seen them (Feldman and Courvoisier) perform a lot of the songs off the album live though, and it really was an incredible concert. I also have Adrian Belew's Side Three on my computer right now, but I will listen to Side One and Two a few times first.

My favourite which is released this year is:  La Maschera Di Cera - LuxAde

Best Italian album I heard in a long time. If you don't know it, check it out. It's worth it.
