2013: First Half (songs)
So the first half of 2013 is almost over, and I decided to make a list over my favorite songs from the first half. The order is not that important, it's fairly random. Just wanted to highlight my favorite songs. |
| 30 | Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Jubilee Street
dat ending. |
| 29 | Kvelertak
Tordenbrak
The epic on the album, and also the best song imo. |
| 28 | Vampire Weekend
Finger Back
This song is so catchy and funny (and on the verge of being annoying), but I just love it. |
| 27 | The World is a Beautiful Place And...
Picture of a Tree That Doesn't Look Okay
The second half of the song in particular is really sweet. |
| 26 | Biffy Clyro
Opposite
dat chorus |
| 25 | Riverside
Feel Like Falling
Very solid album overall. This one stands out to me though, and I love the use of some brass-instruments towards the end. |
| 24 | The Dear Hunter
Let Go
just so darn' catchy |
| 23 | Ghost B.C.
Monstrance Clock
abba meets satan |
| 22 | The National
Heavenfaced
them melodies |
| 21 | Dir En Grey
Macabre
EPIC. |
| 20 | Steven Wilson
The Raven That Refused to Sing
SING TO ME RAVEN |
| 19 | Intronaut
Killing Birds With Stones
Several great songs on this album, this one clicked right from the start though. |
| 18 | Palms
Future Warrior
Perfect combination of Chino's vocals and post-rock. |
| 17 | The Drones
Why Write a Letter That You'll Never Send
THE FEELS |
| 16 | Olafur Arnalds
Old Skin
Amazing song, the music video is even better. |
| 15 | Amplifier
Paris in the Spring
:) |
| 14 | Laura Stevenson
Eleonora
Just a fun and catchy songs with great guitars. |
| 13 | Boards of Canada
Come to Dust
Many good songs on this album, this one is my current favorite. |
| 12 | Altar of Plagues
A Remedy and a Fever
The judgment day is upon us. |
| 11 | Deafheaven
Vertigo
Amazing album overall, this song is probably my favorite. |
| 10 | My Bloody Valentine
Who Sees You
A vacuum cleaner meets an airplane engine meets amplifiers, and throw in some vocals in the mix. |
| 9 | The Dillinger Escape Plan
Paranoia Shields
Some slick riffs, a great and catchy chorus and just some heavy stuff going on. |
| 8 | Listener
Not Today
Hard to pick a favorite from this album since it's so good overall. But this one is my current favorite. |
| 7 | Daft Punk
Giorgio by Moroder
My name is Giovanni Giorgio, but everybody calls me Giorgio. |
| 6 | Queens of the Stone Age
The Vampyre of Time and Memory
I must say that picking a favorite song from this album was difficult. Today, I'm going with this one. But there are five other songs on the album that I would say are AS good; I Sat by the Ocean, My God is the Sun, Fairweather Friends, I Appear Missing and Like Clockwork. |
| 5 | Sigur Ros
Brennisteinn
Sigur Ros are back, a bit darker and a bit better than on Valtari, and this song in particular is another classic from them imo. |
| 4 | Polkadot Cadaver
Impure Thoughts
This song is possibly my favorite Polkadot Cadaver song overall, or at least tied with Forever and a Day. The middle section is just fantastic and reminds me a lot of Adultery. |
| 3 | The Knife
Full of Fire
This might be my favorite The Knife song in general, it's just epic. |
| 2 | Justin Timberlake
Blue Ocean Floor
Best on the album without a doubt for me. Some great melodies in this one. |
| 1 | Eisley
Millstone
This song in particular reminds me a bit of the Swedish duo/band, First Aid Kit. I just love this one, and I feel like it's a bit different from Eisley. You go Chauntelle! |
