Eh I was kinda mixed on The Afterman as a whole, I have however been enjoying The Prize Fighter Inferno (Claudio's side project) and the EP that came out last year was really good.

Descension blows Ascension out of the water, and put together, Afterman gives me hope that albums can continue to be used as a storytelling medium for years to come.

The only song I liked out of the two album sides was Domino the Destitute honestly. Not that the rest is bad it's just kinda forgettable.

Hope The Avalanches surprise everyone and drop new album randomly this year.

 

[ThatDudeWithTheFood]

Yeezus
Old
Reflektor
Days Are Gone
Jai Paul(unofficial release)

 

[Ryukouki]

I got raised on Sinatra and those kinds of tunes. Michael Buble - To Be Loved

*flees*

Hardly listen to music anymore these days, but I found myself enjoying most of 'Für Frauen ist das kein Problem - Zugabe' by Max Raabe.
Yay for german music no one cares about.

I like German music that no one cares about (though I've never heard of the one you listed). I'm more into Edguy, At Vance, Freedom Call, and Silent Force (just found out they're finally coming out with a new album this year, their last one being from 2007)

 

[ThatDudeWithTheFood]

Has anyone heard Reflektor yet?
Leaked version is really really good.

I have and I agree.

Also everybody sleeping on Justin Timberlake.

I wander in and reread the thread.

Time to officially once and for all declare as an old man. Now I have heard of most of the bands mentioned, however when clicking around on youtube to listen to all their most viewed songs I have not liked any of them.

I have as well, and I feel exactly the same way. Except I'm 23. "Popular" music, blech.

Unfortunately 2013 hasn't been a very good year for music for me. I mostly listen to metal, and a good number of the bands I really enjoy have lost/changed singers with terrible replacements, like Amberian Dawn, The Project Hate, etc.

However, I did rather enjoy Within Temptation's Q Music Sessions. It takes the crappy songs you might hear on the radio dozens of times per day, and makes them pretty good.

P.S.: A rare kudos for Guild mentioning the Halestorm album. I only liked a couple of the songs, but I absolutely love their Bad Romance cover.

 

[Gahars]

Also everybody sleeping with Justin Timberlake.

Amended for accuracy.

 

[BORTZ]

Dillinger Escape Plan - One of Us is the Killer
Born of Osiris - Tomorrow we die alive
Norma Jean - Wrongdoers
August Burns Red - Rescue and Restore


Daft Punk's RAM was a Meh-fest

 

[Deleted_171835]

Eminem's new album (MMLP2) leaked and it's good. (esp. Love Game and the last two minutes of Bad Guy)

 

[Guild McCommunist]

I think we can all agree ARTPOP is fucking amazing.

It just came out and holy shit best Gaga album yet.

 

[Forstride]

Born of Osiris - Tomorrow we die alive

Seriously? I thought it was garbage. It's like they took everything they did with The Discovery and smeared shit all over it.

-----------

Anyway, my list is:

ERRA - Augment
I See Stars - New Demons
The Devil Wears Prada - 8:18
Phinehas - The Bridge Between EP / The Last Word Is Yours To Speak
Dangerkids - Collapse
Noeazy - Land Of Abomination
DayShell - Self-Titled Album

 

[Clarky]

David Bowie - The Next Day
Paul McCartney - New
Arctic Monkeys - AM

Only ones I've this year I have enjoyed really
