Best Rock Album in 2013

Ok folks, let's get another one started. Best yearly thread for us rock fans. Most of the albums are starting to be released.

Have to say, Atoms for Peace doesn't do anything for me despite the "superband" status. Where is Flea on the record?

Lots of potential coming with Phoenix, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the National, Postal Service, Vampire Weekend, etc.

Not rock (it's indie), but I like Toro y Moi "Anything in Return" so far. Going through the new Depeche Mode currently- pretty up and down effort.

regarding the latest Hendrix... It's a nice addition to a record collection but IMO, it's not in the running for ROTY.

I promise, my last post here today.

Starflyer59. "IAMACEO" My favorite! Check them out! Buy the vinyl at their record label site, now!

Three satisfying LPs:

The Besnard Lakes: Until in Excess, Imperceptible UFO. The best of the Montreal sound, IMO.

Deerhunter: Monomania. The dissonance requires patience, but no more than on some Eels albums and well worth the trouble.

Calexico: Spiritoso. Algiers live with an orchestra.

One Rock album that I'm finding VERY satisfying now is Rob Zombie's Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor. 12 tracks of pure bliss to me. I keep enjoying Rob Zombie's work with John Five (John5). Yep I said it. Rob Zombie.
