Album Of The Year 2013 (1 Viewer)

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

First listen to the new Giuda is pretty good,a little bit more Gary Glitter to the first records Suzi Quatro. But that's fine with me.

I've only heard Tiger Woman so far and it seemed a bit too 'rawk' but I will still be getting get it

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

If anything,I'd say the new one is a little wimpier than the first one,but just a little,and that's only on one listen.

as wimpy as Ghost? I'm down with that

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

There's not much as wimpy as Ghost in fairness. More balls in a Bon Jovi ballad.

[george mcfly]

Boards of Canada, Factory Floor, I Am The Cosmos, Solar Bears and the Umberto record were all stand outs for me. John Grants album was my absolute favourite and one of the best new albums I've heard in years.

Favourite soundtracks were:
Gravity - Steven Price
A Field In England - Jim Williams (with that amazing Blanck Mass track)
Only God Forgives - Cliff Martinez
Maniac - Rob

Favourite soundtrack reissues:
The Fog (Death Waltz) - John Carpenter with artwork by Dinos Chapman
Day Of The Dead - John Harrison (Waxwork)
The Wicker Man - Paul Giovanni (Silva Screen)
Last House On The Left - David Hess (One Way Static)

 

[Kermit McDermott]

I've been meaning to get the Arctic Monkeys album.
Been previewing the Arcade Fire album on iTunes, I don't have any of their other albums but I like the style of this one.

I loved that first Ghost album. Had it on repeat for months. Still one of my favourites. Haven't been able to get into the 2nd one. Zombie queen's a deadly tune, the rest of it's kind of lacking in energy. I think it's a bit overproduced.

Gonna wait until December before I post up albums of the year

 

[thickaspigshit]

Drenge - Drenge
The Icarus Line - Slave Vows
Future of the Left - How To Stop Your Brain In An Accident

 

[therealjohnny]

I got the two albums at the same time so I approach them as a single entity..I get there is a difference but it's not a big thing for me
I know some people, people whose names rhyme with Marry for instance will disagree but I get strong hints of 70s Alice Cooper and BOC off them--along with the alarmingly emo /MTV/modern vocals. Alarming because I find myself liking it

 

[rettucs]

My 3 favourite things/albums from this year are;

Girls Names - The New Life
Courtney Barnett - Double EP thing
Lady Lamb the Beekeeper - Ripley Pine


other notables (mostly listed alphabetically cos I'm reading them from my ipod);

Bill Callahan - Dream River
Paul McCartney - NEW
Belle and Sebastian - The 3rd Eye Center
Blondes - Swisher
Braids - Flourish/Perish
Caitlin Rose - The Stand-in
Casiotone for the Painfully Alone - In Cambridge
Dan Deacon - America (think that was this year)
Deerhunter - Monomania
Edwyn Collins - Understated
Factory Floor - Factory Floor
I am the Cosmos - Monochrome (possibly the end of last year)
James Yorkston - I was a cat from a book
John Roberts - Fences

I bought loads of stuff this year and while it wasn't a great year overall I reckon the above are at least a bit decent. I bought a tone of other stuff that just wasn't that good or that I'm still trying to figure out if its good or not (eg: the knife).

Edit: Oh and I loved that Laurel Halo album too.

 

[hermie]

Yeah that new Tim Hecker is great. Must give Braids a ging over at ATP this weekend.

yeah, I think the vocals on the first album are great. And the whole thing has a great scooby doo being chased around a haunted mansion feel to it. If you picture that every time you listen to the album you'll grow to love it

. I bought a tone of other stuff that just wasn't that good or that I'm still trying to figure out if its good or not (eg: the knife).

I figured it out. It's really good and you love it.

You're welcome.

Also, I love monomania too. The year started off week musically but has been getting steadily better

 

[Lili Marlene]

If by any chance anyone is interested i threw together* a playlist for this year. I use deezer but no one else does so here it is on spotify as well. I gave it the inspired name of "2013"

Playlist 2013 on Deezer

2013 on Spotify

I actually do hear a bit of Blue Oyster Cult in the first record,they just don't do it well. Any band with a dose of Blue Oyster Cult and Mercyful Fate should be a contender for best band ever,unfortunately Ghost fall short everywhere.

Don't hear any Alice Cooper in them though.

Are we talking about the Japanese band Ghost here, or some other lot?
