2013 Favorites: Albums of 2013

Every year, towards the end of the year, I do a "favorites" and since 2013 is coming to an end (what the heck) I though I'd get scared.

A l b u m s: These are my favorite albums released in 2013. So much good music was released this year, so it was hard to pick.

1. Sempiternal- Bring Me The Horizon

2. Youth - Citizen

3. Heart Attack - Man Overboard

4. Save Rock and Roll - Fall out Boy

5. The Greatest Generation - The Wonder Years 

6. What You Don't See - The Story So Far

7. Sun Flower- Never Shout Never

8. Too Strange to Live, To Rare to Die - Panic! at the Disco

9. Common Courtesy - A Day To Remember

10. Monsters in the Closet - Mayday Parade

2013 was a great come back year from the middle school days with Fall Out Boy's "Save Rock and Roll", Panic's "Too Rare To Live, Too Rare To Die" and Paramore's self-titled. It was FOB's first album (which literally came out of NOWHERE) since there  2009 hiatus. It had been a few years since Panic! at the Disco and Paramore also made an album.

Of course, the 2013 music scene sucked because of the break up of My Chemical Romance aka my all time favorite band.

An album I had been GREATLY anticipating had been Sleeping With Sirens' Feel, which was personally a huge let down. I literally like two or three songs from that album.

On the other had, I wasn't expecting too much from Bring Me The Horizon's new album. I was completely blown away and it became mine, along with many other people's favorite album. It is perfect. Lead singer, Oliver Sykes, clean vocals were perfect. It was a big change from all their previous work. I love seeing how much they have grown up as a band. Bring Me The Horizon had always been a band a loved, but Sempiternal moved them up to one of my favorite bands of all time. The lyrics man, the lyrics.

"Youth" by Citizen was the first thing I had ever heard by them and I loved it! 

"Heart Attack", "What You Don't See" and "The Greatest Generations" are three albums I was looking forward by the Warped touring bands, Man Overboard, The Story so Far, and The Wonder Years. All three albums did not disappoint me at all. Same can be said about Never Shout Never's "Sunflower". I especially loved studio versions of previously released songs on that album.

"Common Courtesy" and "Monsters in the Closet" both came out last week. I love the lyrics, and it's very much like the bands previous work. I'm a casual listener to A Day to Remember and I think "Common Courtesy" is the album that is making me an official fan. I've only gotten into Mayday within the last six months, so most of their music is still new to me, but I really like the album so far.

My next blog entry will be favorite albums that didn't come out in 2013. 

Other things that will be in my "2013 favorites" are: books, poems, tumblrs, movies, video games, music videos, songs, stores, and more.
