Shillzz Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) Despite it being thoroughly mainstream, I can't look far past this: Arctic Monkeys - AM Seeing (the majority of) it performed live made it even better.

mjmooney Posted December 11, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted December 11, 2013 I thought we'd already done this in another thread? Just two in my list. Big Big Train: English Electric Part 2 (Actually, the full 2-CD English Electric, Full Power - but Part 2 was the stuff that first came out in 2013) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WHCdHAJsR0 Steven Wilson: The Raven That Refused To Sing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4ZqgOnhFT0 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dAVe80 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) Need to have a proper think about this, and clarify what albums I've brought this year, came out this year! Off the top I've my head, it's hard to look past My Bloody Valentine - m b v, and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Push The Sky Away. I shall return!

Rugeley Villa Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Most of stuff I listen to is from 60s and 70s so if I'm honest I rarely buy albums that are released this year. Only one I got was sabbath's new release. Really good comeback album but not as good as paranoid,MOR,vol4,SBS and probaly not as good as sabotage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designer1 Posted December 11, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted December 11, 2013 This year has been brilliant, so many top class albums released. QotSA - Like Clockwork Bloc Party - Four (real return to form that one) Nick Cave - Push the Sky Away Ghost - Infestissumam (probably top of the list for me) Nine Inch Nails - Hesitation Marks Black Angels - Indigo Meadow Carcass - Surgical Steel Jacco Gardner - Cabinet of Curiosities Agnes Obel - Aventine Mark Lanegan - Imitations Machinedrum - Vapor City Volcano Choir - Repave Chelsea Wolfe - Pain is Beauty Gary Numan - Splinter Deafheaven - Sunbather F**k Buttons - Slow Focus Sigur Ros - Kveikur Vampire Weekend - Modern Vampires of the City Ghostface Killah - Twelve Reasons to Die Tomahawk - Oddfellows Soulfly - Savages That's just a small selection.

Keyblade Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) Easy. Far and away my favourite album of 2013 If I were to make a top 10 after that which is almost impossible considering how amazing it was for music this year, it'll probably be: Laura Stevenson - Wheel My Bloody Valentine -m b v Summoning - Old Mornings Dawn Bonobo - The North Borders Autechre - Exai The Doppelgangaz - HARK Tim Hecker - Virgins ASC - Machine Love Obliteration - Black Death Horizon Added samples just in case anyone's interested.

Designer1 Posted December 11, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted December 11, 2013 Some belters on there (and Gareth's list to be fair) that i'd forgotten about. The John Grant album is definitely up there for me (think it was Bicks who recommended that one). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shillzz Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Hobo Rocket is a curious one, I like it, but you'd have to file it with the other EPs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
