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.

Bongo , I named my daughter after Bob, her name is Claire Marley Sherman.
This is way slower than last year as far as discovering new amazIng music.
Last year I discovered some awesome new bands. Alt J, Here We Go Magic, Cave Singers, Damien Jurado, Glen Hansard, Ben Howard, and many others.
That said there are a couple of gems I'm enjoying.
I can't imagine Vampire Weekend ever writing a more complete and satisfying album. A perfect album to my ears.

Mount Moriah "Miracle Temple", while you're at it, get their S/T too. This is the most COMPLETE band I've heard in some time. They can pull off about anything.
