| 2013 |
| Moby Innocents | 5.0 |
| Lorde Pure Heroine | 4.5 |
| MGMT MGMT | 4.0 |
| Carcass Surgical Steel | 3.0 |
| The melodic 'leads' win it for me. Heartwork is ten times better but this is still "good." |
| Moving Mountains Moving Mountains | 4.0 |
| Nine Inch Nails Hesitation Marks | 4.5 |
| Franz Ferdinand Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action | 4.0 |
| This is one solid album. It reminds me of their early stuff. I can't complain. |
| The Sun and the Ocean before i was god | 4.5 |
| Mac Miller Watching Movies With The Sound Off | 4.5 |
| Kanye West Yeezus | 4.5 |
| These New Puritans Field of Reeds | 5.0 |
| aoty candidate for me - reminds me a bit of Talk Talk and their approach to post-rock |
| Nathaniel Closen Things Falling Apart | 5.0 |
| "Things Falling Apart" is a melancholy mix of neo-classical, ambient, and post-rock goodness. Nathaniel Closen's sophomore single is spellbinding and incredible. I have listened to it on repeat for a while now. |
| Filter The Sun Comes Out Tonight | 4.0 |
| Jon Hopkins Immunity | 4.5 |
| His best yet for sure. rJon Hopkins electronic work is unique and awe-inspiring. Check this one out. |
| Queens of the Stone Age ...Like Clockwork | 5.0 |
| Baths Obsidian | 4.5 |
| I have listened to this album a few times. I have gone back and listened to Cerulean as well. This album is almost as good as Cerulean to me and I have a feeling I will continue to enjoy it for a long time, quite like I did with Baths' first offering. It's just darker, more mature, and overwhelmingly honest. |
| Alice in Chains The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here | 4.5 |
| The National Trouble Will Find Me | 4.0 |
| Daft Punk Random Access Memories | 4.0 |
| Audio Dope Anthophobia | 4.5 |
| Kid Cudi Indicud | 3.5 |
| I expected more from the third release from CuDi. It was enjoyable, but nothing really stood out to me like they did for me on his previous studio LPs. Some of the beats are interesting, but nothing just awesome like "Pursuit of Happiness", "Mojo So Dope", "Day 'N Nite" and some of his previous hits. It is plainly obvious that he is a talented guy, still, especially because he produced, wrote, etc. this whole album, himself. Props to him. |
| The Sun and the Ocean Distant Light/New Darkness | 4.0 |
| The Here and Now Born to Make Believe Part 1 | 3.5 |
I'm gettin' some early Foo Fighters (Dave Grohl) maybe some Offspring? Anyway, it's pretty
good - definitely worth listening to. |
