Top ten record of 2013

[suburbanxcore]

For those of us into neatly categorizing and wrapping up the year, I thought this may be a good place to discuss music of 2013. What did you find yourself listening to most?

I suppose it'd be proper form for me to start.

1. Self Defense Family – Try Me

2. Restorations – LP2

3. Touche Amore – Is Survived By

4. Comadre – s/t

5. Mark Kozelek and Desertshore – s/t

6. Paint it Black – Invisible (generally I do EPs separate, but this is too good)

7. Into It. Over It. – Intersections

8. A Wilhelm Scream – Partycrasher

9. Iron Chic – The Constant One

10. Deafheaven – Sunbather

edit: I also just realized there's a typo in the subject line. Damnit.

My Bloody Valentine - m b v

I don't know if I've really listened to anything else that was released in 2013. For a good part of the year I was pinching pennies to pay for tattoos and that made my budget for buying music basically nothing. Maybe I'll try to come up with a list of the records I was most into regardless of release date.

[JAllen]

@Graeme, same here. Tried to come up with moving money all year so if I did buy anything it was used and super cheap. I was going to do a list of what I played as well.

[Johannes]

only record i've heard from 2013 that i know of is black sabbath "13".....i like old music i guess!

so that will have to be my top 10 from this year...

[HaydenRose]

Palms - Palms for sure. I feel like there's more but I can't think of them right now. That one just sticks out in my mind.

Oh shoot, is this new albums that came out in 2013 or just what we listened to? Sorry, I'm a confused mess most of the time.

I was intending new records of 2013, but that seems to have gone over like a lead balloon. Haha.

havent given enough listens to a bunch of albums from 2013,

but these are definitely my favorites from this year

makthaverskan - makthaverskan II

hysterics - can't i live? ep

janelle monae - the electric lady

landshapes - rambutan

full of hell - rudiments of mutilation

peggy sue - figure of eight ep

Yay! I was right! Well I like albums FROM 2013 better because I'm always on the hunt for new music. I get too comfortable with my "oldies".

[suburbanxcore]

@HaydenRose For sure. Don't get me wrong, I listen to plenty of old records, but I'm always on the lookout for new stuff. And despite what people say, there's always good new music coming out.

[bugxjuice]

I barely heard enough new records this year to make a top 10 list, so I'll just post what stuck out the most:

Milk Music - Cruise Your Illusion LP

After Dark 2 3xLP (Italians Do It Better compilation)

[Delicious]

Hmmm honestly, for the most part I don't listen to whole albums, just the songs I like off of them. But for me, I bought two albums this year. They were that good to me. Dont hate, but they were Ceremonials by Florence and The Machine, and Save Rock and Roll by Fall Out Boy. I know quite a few people hate Fall Out Boy, but this album is actually really good.

Now if we were talking best albums of a lifetime, in my top would be the self titled Emarosa album, but it's over 4 years old. The soundtrack of my last two years of high school.

[CultExciter]

I'll list mine, don't judge me (no particular order):

El-P & Killer Mike - Run The Jewels

Deafheaven - Sunbather

Violent Soho - Hungry Ghost

Inspectah Deck/7L & Esoteric - CZARFACE

Church Of Misery - Thy Kingdom Scum

Red Hare - Nites of Midnight

Dead Confederate - In The Marrow

Morne - Shadows

Diarrhea Planet - I'm Rich Beyond Your Wildest Dreams

Russian Circles - Memorial

[Graeme]

Top ten of what I actually listened to and enjoyed most in 2013, edited to not have duplicate artists, and in alphabetical order:

Current 93 - Of Ruine or Some Blazing Starre

Graveyard - Hisingen Blues

GZA/Genius - Liquid Swords

Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son

King Crimson - In The Court of the Crimson King

Matthew Sweet - 100% Fun

Mercyful Fate - Don't Break the Oath

My Bloody Valentine - m b v

Saint Vitus - Born Too Late

Wu Tang Clan - Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

I'm old.

[suburbanxcore]

Nothing wrong with any of the Wu-affiliated records going on here. Good stuff, @Graeme!

and @CultExciter, I haven't heard that Red Hare record, but I liked em when I saw them in the summer. A lot of other cool stuff on your list, too!

[bongsau]

Radioactivity - S/T ...great upbeat punk rock album for fans of The Marked Men

Weed - Deserve ...great grunge rock from Vancouver

Unfun - Shores of Lake Erie ...great sludge punk from western canada

School Jerks ...good snotty hardcore from Toronto!

Kremlin ...more discharge-esque hardcore from Toronto!

...i only got 5 to add here, every other record i bought this year was probably an old reggae or dancehall record ;)

[JAllen]

@CultExciter, that el-p/killer mike might be the heaviest thing on your list! Heard a couple tracks on it. That last killer mike that el-p produced sounded real good too.

Here's stuff that got played this year:

Uncle acid and the deadbeats-bloodlust

Lycia-cold

The smiths-singles collection

Diiv-Oshin (shoegazing type stuff)

Esoteric-Paragon of dissonance

Immortal-Sons of northern darkness

Magnetic fields-The charm of the highway strip

Hot Water Music-entire catalog of releases

M83-Hurry up, we're dreaming

Darkthrone-Black flags and dark thrones

Mark Lanegan-first 5 albums

Dark Sanctuary-L'être las - L'envers du miroir (neo-classical)

Also, I've been watching lots of leroy troy playing old timey banjo tunes on youtube.

Hot Water Music-entire catalog of releases

Always appreciated. The first big tattoo I ever got was a heart with a banner that says "Live your heart and never follow."

[49531]

still havent got round to listening to the new iron chic yet

[suburbanxcore]

It's pretty much what you'd expect. If you liked the first one, you'll like this one.

I just saw you listed Restorations. Jon Loudon is an old friend of mine.

[suburbanxcore]

@CultExciter Hahaha, no shit? Jon is one of my best friends. Best dude. He designed my freaking wedding invitations.

[CultExciter]

@suburbanxcore I was interning at Decibel Magazine when he was there. He and Bruno were the people I enjoyed the most. I was able to hang with the Jena Berlin guys pretty often.

That's awesome. I love that guy. Therefore you must be a pretty stand-up dude as well.

[suburbanxcore]

@CultExciter Oh man, that's awesome. Bruno rules as well! Restos are great, but I miss chaotic Jena Berlin shows.

[huggernaut]

Friend of the forum, Jon Loudon, ladies and gentleman. Haha.

I'm just going to do a top 6, because I hate basically everything.

1. Touche Amore - Is Survived By

2. Deafheaven - Sunbather

3. Mark Kozelek x Desert shore - S/T

4. Russian Circles - Memorial

5. Comadre - S/T

6. Self Defense Family - Try Me

[Delicious]

Seriously, it's like you all have the same taste in music
