I think 2013 might be the strongest year of music in the current decade thus far, vying with 2010, and we're only half-way through the year. There's plenty of good "comeback" records from the likes of My Bloody Valentine, Daft Punk, Boards of Canada, David Bowie, and The Knife. There's plenty of good debuts from groups like Savages, Rhye, and Laura Mvula. There's plenty of good dance records including Jon Hopkins, Disclosure, and Baths. There's plenty of good hip hop records from the various associates of Wu Tang, Asap Rocky, Chance the Rapper, and Kanye. There's plenty of good alternative records from Vampire Weekend, The National, Jame Blake, and Grouper. There's even good country from Miranda Lambert and Kacey Musgraves. There's plenty of good records from "underground" favorites like Lisa Germano, Low, and Mark Kozelek (namely, his collaboration with Jimmy Lavalle). There's plenty of good records I have not even mentioned (and I'm sure The Quietus and Scaruffi will dig up something good from the depths no one's ever heard of once their year-end lists come out). I think thus far my favorites are Rhye's Woman, My Bloody Valentine's m b v, and Oval's Calidostopia!. Let me reiterate that we're only half-way through this great year. Fingers crossed that The Avalanches and D'Angelo are releasing their upcoming albums this year.

This decade in general has been far worse than the last.

Listen to their debut first, then Contra, then the new one, so you can see their progression in style over the albums.

Yeah, the progression of how they started out fine (debut), then sucked (Contra), then came back with their best album yet.

So far Deerhunter and Vampire Weekend have been my favorite releases of the year, both amazing albums. Besides that the year hasn't done much for me. Iron And Wine was a bit of a dissapointment, much like Port Of Morrow from last year.

I'm impressed with 2013 so far. Two albums (We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace & Magic; Random Access Memories) have become two of my favorites. I haven't listened to too much music yet this year, but I have a few albums I got recently that I'll be listening to soon.

The first half has been a little slow, but 2012 took awhile to get going, and it was the best year in awhile.

For me personally a very strong year. A lot of my personal favorites are pumping albums, including some like David Bowie who seemingly were finished.

Based on what I've heard, it seems like an average year in music: an ups and downs year.

Four of my ten favorite soloists have released new albums this year so far, LeAnn Rimes, Trace Adkins, Brad Paisley, and Kenny Chesney that is, and I have every one of them. As for the other six as well as my most favorite duo, trio, and band, I am still waiting on something new from them.

God bless you and all of my favorites always!!! 😄 😄 😄

Richard Thompson's Electric was also pretty good.

Most of the big comebacks have been disappointing to me. I really liked BoC and MBV though. Might be that I haven't listened to near enough new music as I'd have liked, but 2012>2013 so far.
