'Z' by My Morning Jacket may be this year's 'Soft Bulletin' or 'Yankee Hotel Foxtrox'. That's my one listen evaluation. Needs a few more spins before I can sign off on that statement completely.

The evolution of the band's sound isn't as extreme as those two great records but people familiar with the work of Wilco and the Flaming Lips will know what I mean.
