I think its difficult to tell what a great album is until it has been given some time. I dont think the talent bar is low at all, I find people all the time who can play instruments in new and exciting ways and push them to their limits.
Its not difficult naming the amazing bands and albums from the past, a lot of music at the moment seems more 'new' in that many bands have not had a proper chance to develop and be understood. A lot of the time a great album comes when you have a feel for the band, so maybe some of these newer artists will still make their great albums or some albums from 2008 could be rediscovered later.
