Top 100 Music Albums of 2013
by travelful

2013 snapshot. What a great year!

Every album I listen to will be included on here, even if I hated it. You may also notice some higher rated albums in the comments, while some albums I hated are still featured in the chart. This is because I create my yearly charts as "snapshots" of the music scene from that year. From these I create my decade charts, where you will find no filler. Basically anything rated 60% or higher I recommend depending on your tastes.

A$ap Ferg's 'Trap Lord' - light 4
