It is difficult for me to understand how one can be so active in listening to 2013-released music yet not have had listened to this. "Essential" doesn't even begin to describe it.

This year slightly edges out 2012, but neither were particularly strong years. They both produced about 15 albums I've rated 80+, but 2013 had a couple more in the 90+ range. The best year in recent memory was 2009, which was just an embarrassment of riches: half a dozen 90+, including two 100s (Fever Ray and Hazards of Love).

I felt it was a really good year. My listening is not done by a long shot and I have already 60 albums I at least felt were good - totally unusual in recent years. Mind you, it's probably the 00s year I've listened to the most tbh, so this feeling might very well be completely biased.

I'm loving 2013... It took me a while to warm up but the last few months have been a fiesta of discovery for me and I'm finding new gems every day! I like that this year was so quirky and there have been some really interesting melding of genres which makes for interesting listening!
Time will tell whether 2013 will go down as one of the greats... But whether it does or it doesn't I have had so much fun discovering new albums this year... It has given me a whole new lease on life! So thank you to all those artists whose albums have enriched my 2013... Greatly appreciated!

2012 was better than 2013.
Frank Turner released a fantastic album!

Just because no one brought it up, for some odd reason 2013 was the first and only year that a black metal album managed to crack year-end top ten lists from more mainstream sources. Sunbather wasn't a great album by any means but I still thought it was interesting that a black metal album got mainstream coverage for something other than a band member committing some sort of felony.
