THE BEST ALBUMS OF 2013: THE LIST


“10 albums, 2 voices, 1 year”

 

 

And now the list is complete. Our writers Sean May and Matt Doyle have picked 5 albums each, which to them represents albums of the year. To make it interesting, they each had to comment the other one’s choice.While the controversy surrounding Mr. Yeezus dominated the list’s comment section, it was a lot of fun following your reactions on our social accounts (Especially thanks to the singer of The World is a Beautiful Place… who posted Sean’s 2/10 review on his Tumblr). We would like to have added a lot more, of course – Summarizing a year with only 10 albums is difficult, but that’s why you can simply scroll down and have your say. And if you think 2013 is passé , see our what to look forward to in 2014 list.
