The Tops of 2013
2013 turned out to be a terrific year, with great albums coming from every musical genre. In rthe end, I didn't base the list on what I listened to most, but what I thought were simply the rBEST records that I did listen to. |

Absent Light
If you've heard of them, you know their greatness. If you haven't, and you like
heavy music, make the move and get this record. |
| 9 |  | Lord Huron
Lonesome Dreams
Another album that I got to know while relaxing. This guy should be a household name in the near future if he keeps producing
music like this. |
| 8 | | Captain, We're Sinking
The Future Is Cancelled
Captain, We're Sinking has been around for years, but I hadn't heard of them until this album. It immediately caught my
attention because of the vocal performance and overall catchiness. |
| 7 |  | Arctic Monkeys
AM
Absolutely love this band, and this album demonstrates them at their finest. |
| 6 |  | The Dillinger Escape Plan
One Of Us Is The Killer
Intense, chaotic, emotional, and beautiful. It's what they do. |
| 5 |  | Night Verses
Lift Your Existence
Pure musicianship all over the place! Such a great piece of work. |
| 4 |  | Tallhart
We Are The Same
I had never heard of Tallhart before grabbing this album on a whim shortly after it was released. It may be the
easiest album to listen to as a whole on this years list. The melodies are fantastic! |
| 3 |  | Norma Jean
Wrongdoers
A pioneer of the metalcore genre, they are back to install greatness into a stale genre.
This is a beast of an album, and one that will be in the mix for years to come. |
| 2 |  | Alice In Chains
The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here
The group's second LP post Layne Staley is another success. I don't listen to AIC
with the expectations of what they were. They're still a great rock band, and for
that, they land at #2. |
| 1 |  | Protest The Hero
Volition
This just happens to be their best work-to-date. A blend of all things awesome in
the world of rock and metal music. |
