A peculiar hybrid of metal, rockabilly, and country, they’ve been compared to everyone from Metallica to Johnny Cash. I stumbled up this Danish band at the beginning of the year, and quickly fell in love. Volbeat– Outlaw Gentlemen and Shady Ladies Get out the tissues.Ĭheck Out: I’m Not Your Hero, Now I’m All Messed Up 4. A bit of a departure from their folk-rock roots, Heartthrob is super poppy, heavily 80s-inspired, and will remind you of every breakup, and lost chance you’ve ever had. This is undoubtedly the most heartbreaking album of the year. You’d be pretty bored if Trent released Downward Spiral ten times over, no?Ĭheck Out: Various Methods of Escape, Copy of A 3. Though I was initially disappointed at how hard this album wasn’t, it has since grown on me. In fact it marks a return of the old, dark and angsty band that caught my attention over 10 years ago (albeit with hints of their more recent synth-pop style.)Ĭheck Out: The Sinking Night, I Hope You Suffer 2. But this album is nowhere close to awful. AFI would have to release something pretty awful in order for me to leave it off my favourites list. If you know anything about me, this one will be no surprise. And seeing that several of my very favourite bands made a comeback in 2013, it wasn’t difficult to compile this top ten: 1. No album is getting on here because everyone else thought it was cool.
It’s that time again, when I ask myself “which CDs did I bother to buy this year?” You read that correctly-yes, I still buy CDs, and yes my best-of list is based on personal preference.
