Bat for lashes has been my favourite album so far.

Probably Andrew W.K. - I Get Wet.

I'd have to go with:

United States of Mind
Northern Light

both by Covenant

Not albums made this year, but they are the favourites of mine in this fine year of 2009.

That's more 2001, less 2009.

So far this year I haven't heard any new albums that've struck me as fantastic. Jadakiss released The Last Kiss which was disappointing for him and Eminem's Relapse was just crap. That said, there are a few upcoming albums that'll (hopefully) be among rap milestones as some of the old giants are coming out with new material.

Dre's meant to finally be releasing Detox, 5 years too late, but he's said every year that it's coming out so not holding my breath. Blueprint III should be set for September so that'll be some good old Jay-Z magic, hopefully better than American Gangster was. Chamillionaire got Venom coming which will be a hit like always.

Biggest 2 for me are both speculations but supposedly coming this year: Only Built For Cuban Linx II from Raekwon who I adore and also Seventh Seal supposedly due this year as Rakim's first real album in 10 years. Looks like hip hop's not dead after all
