Best Albums of 2013

No mention yet of Travis - Where You Stand. Just as good as they've always been and still coming up with some fantastic indie/pop tracks. My favourite of the year, though there's plenty I haven't heard listed above. Will check a few out.
 
This year, I've found,

JT 20/20 (1 and 2 - although preferred 1)
30STM Up in the Air
MMLP2

To be the albums that just stuck with me, and that I listened to for a large amount of time.

Arctic Monkeys - AM
Beady Eye - BE
Daft Punk - RAM

Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP2

faves so far

Atoms For Peace - Amok (decided not to like it then listened to it)

Siriusmo - Enthusiast

Moderat - Moderat II (My album of the year)

Dissapointments/Dont get the Hype
Daft Punk RAM (Personally think overrated apart from Homework and Tron)
QOTSA Like Clockwork (Big fan but go on and off it easy)
BOC Tomorrows Harvest (Again big fan but just hasnt clicked with me yet)
 
Nothings really stood out for me this year.

Alice In Chains - The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here
BT - A Song Across Wires
Cloudkicker - Subsume
Joe Satriani - Unstoppable Momentum
Killswitch Engage - Disarm The Descent
Blue Stahli - Antisleep Vol. 3
One Minute Silence - Fragmented Armageddon
Duran Duran - The Reflex Collection
Mattias IA Eklundh - Freak Guitar-The Smorgasbord

All had tracks I enjoyed but didn't really grab me as amazing albums. Plus I haven't heard anyone mentioning these yet.

I thought QOTSA - Like Clockwork was appalling, I'd rather listen to Will Smith. Sad but true.

The best album of 2013 imo is Steven Wilson - The Raven That Refused to Sing.

Other top albums...

Clutch - Earth Rocker
The Flower Kings - Desolation Rose
Tyr - Valkyrja
Spocks Beard - Brief Nocturnes and Dreamless Sleep
Ayreon - The Theory of Everything
Sky Architect - A Billion Years of Solitude
The Temperance Movement - The Temperance Movement
Dream Theater - Dream Theater
Fates Warning - Darkness in a Different Light
Camel - The Snow Goose (re-recording)
 
For me it would have to be:

Daft Punk - Random Access Memories
Chvrches - The Bones Of What You Believe
The Strokes - Comedown Machine
 
I'm surprised a few of these haven't been mentioned but then again I have a rather unique taste in music.

Etherwood - Etherwood
If You Wait - London Grammar
Birds of Paradise - Flight Patterns
Bonobo - The North Borders


The first one, possibly the most beautiful music I've ever heard.
