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.

Phosphorescent's new one is STELLAR!! Called Muchacho
It's mellow and Melodic ,yes, but it is flawless . 8.8 on Pitchfork
I have listened to this album 4 times straight through. Give this one a listen.

Foxygen's new album called, We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace & Magic is sooooo strong. If you like the Stones I think you will love this album. I'm not a huge Stones fan but I do love this album !

If not STELLAR, Muchacho is very good-- but all that affected whooping and hollering in too many spots causes hiccups. Nice cover photo, looks like he's having good fun with those two girls in bed. Not much here that Fleet Foxes, Daniel Lanois,and Calexico didn't do first.
