Flying under the radar is the new Andrew Bird cd 'Noble Beast' which isn't as much fun as his previous records but still pretty good. (IMO).
I'd also mention the new Antony & the Johnsons cd 'The Crying Light' which is wholly wonderful from beginning to end.

I picked up Noble Beast this weekend and I'm quite impressed with it. Like you say, not quite as fun (or showy) as Mysterious Production of Eggs or Armchair Apocrypha, but he continues to move in different lyrical directions than anyone else out there, and I don't really think there are any weak tracks (compared with AA, which I thought had a few).
