Asianguy's 2013
It's been a crazy year; first year of college n all that. List is albums that rhave gone especially rhard this year, or that I have connected with the revents of this year. As such, not all of these rwill be 2013 releases. |
1 | | Soundtrack Hotline Miami Official Soundtrack
Really slick and memorable soundtrack. Also a sick game; can't wait for the sequel. |
2 | | Chance the Rapper Acid Rap
A interestingly quirky album with really nice production. Also, Chance is just great. |
3 | | American Football American Football
Self-Explanatory. |
4 | | Mew Frengers
Disliked this initially, but I'm digging it now. |
5 | | Dada Life The Rules of Dada
Went to college parties, heard Dada Life. Not baaaaaad. |
6 | | Glassjaw Worship And Tribute
Also pretty self-explanatory. |
7 | | At The Drive-In Relationship of Command
Do I really have to justify this? |
8 | | Janelle Monae The Electric Lady
Coolest pop personality in awhile. |
9 | | Destroyer Kaputt
Funky, chill, and dreamy. |
10 | | The Chariot One Wing
Damn this album goes hard. "First" is a great song. |
11 | | Protest the Hero Volition
Not the greatest PTH album, but it has some pretty nice jams. |
12 | | Drake Nothing Was The Same
As overproduced and contrived this can be, Drake makes it much easier to forget
that. Great production also. |
13 | | A Lot Like Birds No Place
Personal AOTY. |
14 | | Squid The Whale Four More
This band shouldn't have booted the vocalist, tisk tisk. |
15 | | Enemies We've Been Talking
Pretty sweet band, although their inconsistency can be annoying. |
16 | | Snowmine Laminate Pet Animal
A pretty ethereal indie pop affair. |
17 | | Every Time I Die Ex Lives
Discog goes hard. |
18 | | The Damned Things Ironiclast
A few songs on here are gold. Keith Buckley is also a great vocalist. |
19 | | Justin Timberlake The 20/20 Experience
mmm I'd say 18/20 but overall refreshing |
20 | | Saint Pepsi Hit Vibes
Chill, funky, and groovy. Close contender for personal AOTY |
21 | | Disclosure Settle
Pretty talented producer. Also, Flume's remix of "You & Me" is probably one of my
SOTYs |
22 | | Sweater Beats That Feel
Surprisingly tight. Also I dig the project name. |
23 | | Heavenly Beat Prominence
Relaxing to chill to |
24 | | Mylets Retcon
An incredible solo math project. |
25 | | Closure In Moscow Pink Lemonade
Isn't out yet, but all the material I've heard is pretty golden. Stoked for the full thing. |
26 | | Dance Gavin Dance Downtown Battle Mountain II
Most underrated DGD in my humble opinion. Band has achieved a point in their
sound where they can groove and jam at the same time. |
27 | | So Much Light Supine/Spellbound
To put it succinctly, this album is delightful. Soundtrack to my Bermuda vacation. |
28 | | City of Ifa Self Titled
Pretty solid recent post-hardcore find. Unorthodox catchy. |
29 | | Ra Ra Riot The Orchard
Another frustratingly inconsistent band. Has some good songs. |
30 | | Discovery LP
Has some good ideas, but also a lot of annoying ones. |
31 | | Postmadonna Postmadonna
Schizophrenic and catchy math-pop. Also got a personal shoutout from this band
cuz of my review, so pree cool. |
32 | | The Reign of Kindo Rhythm, Chord, & Melody
An absolutely majestic listen. |
33 | | Circle of Contempt Entwine the Threads
Can be crushingly heavy yet beautiful at the same time. A really interesting band.
Futuremetal. |
34 | | Death Grips Government Plates
gud album |
35 | | Jhene Aiko Sail Out
She's hot, smokes pot, and has a heavenly voice. What's not to like. |
36 | | Bansheebeat Spiral Power
A nostalgic and measured listen. Great production. And it's better when you realize
it's the project of Sputnik's very own Rev. |
37 | | The Glitch Mob Drink The Sea
Very very addictive yet low-key assaults of bass. |
38 | | Fuck Buttons Tarot Sport
Damn Olympians is just mmmmm |
39 | | The Story So Far What You Don't See
1st album was better but 2nd one is great also. Pop punk done right, with good lyrics. |
40 | | The Wonder Years Suburbia: I've Given You All and Now I'm Nothing
See above, minus the "2nd one is great also" part. Also I dig the production. |
41 | | First Place Science Project FPSP.WRECKS
A surprisingly fresh and extremely unorthodox listen. Cory Lockwood rules. |
42 | | The Speed of Sound in Seawater Red Version
Seamless blend of the best indie pop and math rock. |
43 | | Bomb the Music Industry! Vacation
Less ska, more indie + punk. It's a sad album to be, but it's great and bombastically
catchy. |
44 | | ASAP Rocky LongLiveA$AP
Has some cool jams that go hard. Yet another relic of my past semester's party
experience (not much admittedly) |
45 | | Steve Aoki Wonderland
See above. I'm getting into really groovy trap. "Boneless" is a good song, although
it's not on here. |
46 | | The Arrogant Sons of Bitches The Arrogant Sons of Bitches
I have discovered something possibly even better than Streetlight |
47 | | Analog Rebellion Full Frontal
An interesting and hook-laden slab of alt rock. |
48 | | Kid Cudi A Kid Named Cudi
"The Prayer" is one of my SOTYs. The chillest vibe. |
49 | | Bibio Silver Wilkinson
Some tracks are boring, while others are just very well done. Especially "You." |
50 | | Casiotone for the Painfully Alone Advanced Base Battery Life
Very sad yet hauntingly catchy indie/dream pop |
