Should be promoting the music discussion [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/chat/The-Music-League] group you made!
Anyway I tend not to listen to whole albums, and therefore it's between Linkin Park's Living Things, Muse's The 2nd Law, and London Philharmonic Orchestra's The Greatest Video Game Music 2.
In order from best to "worst" (I enjoy all three)
1. The Greatest Video Game Music 2 (I love game music)
2. Living Things
3. The 2nd Law
Huh, there was already a thread like this?...Guess I'll just copy/paste my answer from there then:
