Well, since you didn't list a specific genre, here are some contenders across the spectrum:


Destroyer's Rubies by Destroyer
Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
The Drift by Scott Walker
Black Cadillac by Rosanne Cash
Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not by Arctic Monkeys
Morph The Cat by Donald Fagen
Rather Ripped by Sonic Youth
Last Days Of Wonder by The Handsome Family
We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions by Bruce Springsteen
You In Reverse by Built To Spill
Chosen Lords by Aphex Twin
The Boxing Mirror by Alejandro Escovedo
St. Elsewhere by Gnarls Barkley
10,000 Days by Tool
Pearl Jam by Pearl Jam


In particular, the Springsteen and Pearl Jam ones intrigue me. Older artists who suddenly sound vibrant and fresh. Both are artists I respected, but never really was a huge fan of. But these albums surprised me. I recommend both.

Tool is as ornery and complex as ever. Cool stuff.

The rest is obviously dependent on your tastes in music, but I think if you take a risk, you'll be pleasantly surprised by any of them.

forgot about fischale and Chosen Lords. Good stuff.

I'll have to go with the Pearl Jam disc. It just is very well done from start to finish. Awesome rock and roll album. Plus, not a bad couple of performances in Denver. I like the new TOOL album as well.
