Edit: This is every bit the gutpunch of an album that I expected. Edit^2: "I am starting to forget the feeling of knowing you're in the other room." is basically the saddest and most relatable lyric ever.
How does this compare to Carrie & Lowell?
Way sadder. It's basically a "If you need me I'll be slitting my wrist" album. Also the best thing I've heard this year.

I don't even find it as objectively sad. There's just tons of stuff in there that resonate like crazy with me.
As far as a comparison between the two albums, I felt C&L had more of a theme and polish behind it. ACLAM is much more of a rough album where much of the lyrics don't seem polished and the accompanying music is simple. It drew me more into the grief as anyone who has experienced such things knows your thoughts go into that wild jumble of everything from your deep philosophical concerns to seemingly mundane realizations.
I don't know about best of the year so far, but it struck me way more than expected. I anticipated an easy W for Blanck Mass for AotM, but I have to reconsider now.
A week after you died a package with your name on it came and inside was a gift for our daughter you had ordered in secret and collapsed there on the front steps I wailed. A backpack for when she goes to school a couple years from now. You were thinking ahead to a future you must have known deep down would not include you though you clawed at the cliff you were sliding down, being swallowed into a silence that is bottomless and real.
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

Mount Eerie, 'A Crow Looked At Me'
Oh, God. I'm gonna listen to this record with the lights low and with headphones. And probably gonna bawl my eyes out.

I almost lasted 2 songs. Seaweed did me in. I'll save that album for the next time I feel like falling asleep, forever. Put it on the list with Hospice. Music made for warm baths/cold razor blades.
I brought a chair from home I'm leaving it on the hill Facing west and north And I poured out your ashes on it I guess so you can watch the sunset But the truth is I don't think of that dust as you
You are the sunset
BTW. Tomorrow would have been Whoreshack's 45th birthday. So maybe it was fitting to listen to a little.

Haven't decided yet. It starts strong, which is common for all Depeche Mode albums. I'm listening again, and I don't think I like it as much as Delta Machine, but it has some real strong tracks on it. To answer your question... if you're a Depeche Mode fan, then yes check it out.
