Best Rock Album in 2013


Ok folks, let's get another one started. Best yearly thread for us rock fans. Most of the albums are starting to be released.

Have to say, Atoms for Peace doesn't do anything for me despite the "superband" status. Where is Flea on the record?

Lots of potential coming with Phoenix, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the National, Postal Service, Vampire Weekend, etc.

Not rock (it's indie), but I like Toro y Moi "Anything in Return" so far. Going through the new Depeche Mode currently- pretty up and down effort.

How to destroy angels: love that. Just saw Trent in Coachella. The best lighting rig EVER.

Love the new album by Paul Kelly from Australia.
Really LOVE the new Iggy Pop album. James Williamson's guitar playing is a marvel to behold and Iggy rocks it like 1973. Hard to imagine another 60 year doing this.
New Vampire Weekend and National albums. Best ones yet by two Brooklyn bands I admire.

I also love the 35th Anniversary of Kaya. I am probably the only person on this thread who figured out your name.
New Frans Ferd album and Arctic Monkeys are super. NIN is a great return to form.
Love the new Arcade Fire, with a fantastic dance rhythm through most tracks. Will sound incredible live.
