My 13 Favourite Albums of '13
This was very difficult for me to assemble: I listened to some music outside my comfort zone rto try and make this list as objectively subjective as possible, but at the end of the day I rchoose bands I was comfortable with. I discovered innumerable new bands this year, so my rmusic taste has grown a bit, but old favourites persist like C&C, Kanye West, ADTR, rand FOB. rPlease forgive some of the horrible albums. |
| 1 |  | The Dillinger Escape Plan
One of Us Is the Killer
Takes the best of mathcore and adds a mainstream touch. Better melodies compared to their previous albums to go with their
unique time signatures. |
| 2 |  | August Burns Red
Rescue and Restore
Best metalcore album in years. Inspirational and fun. BMTH's Sempiternal was also a solid album, but something about the mixing
makes it unbearable to listen to on speakers. |
| 3 |  | Counterparts
The Difference between Hell and Home
Damn, love me some melodic hardcore. Funeral for a Friend's new album was also pretty solid but this beat it out. |
| 4 |  | Coheed and Cambria
The Afterman: Descension
I always have a weak spot for CoCa. Number City was one of their best songs in ages and the first half of the album is amazing. |
| 5 |  | Stone Sour
House of Gold and Bones - Part 2
The second half of the album rocks hard. '82 and Do Me A Favour are awesome tracks. |
| 6 |  | Arctic Monkeys
AM |
| 7 |  | Gorguts
Colored Sands |
| 8 |  | Dream Theater
Dream Theater
My first DT album, so this deserves a spot just because it introduced me to their previous albums. |
| 9 |  | The Strokes
Comedown Machine |
| 10 |  | Kanye West
Yeezus
Damn Kanye West. I don't know why I like him so much... |
| 11 |  | Queens of the Stone Age
...Like Clockwork |
| 12 |  | A Day to Remember
Common Courtesy |
| 13 |  | Fall Out Boy
Save Rock and Roll
Don't hurt me :'( I'm allowed to like one pop album per year, aren't I? |
