Favorite 2013 album releases

Right now three CDs are cycling in my playlist over and over again...
MEGADETH - Super Collider
TOM KEIFER - The Way Life Goes
ACCUSER - Diabolic

I see a lot of people listing Flotsam & Jetsam - Ugly Noise but that was a 2012 release. It made my Top 20 for 2012. (Of course I think it was only released in 2012 to those who pledged through PledgeMusic.

It's close enough.

I hate when a band releases an album late in the year. Last year Paradox and Obsession both did. Luckily I caught the Paradox before December 31st so it went on my best of 2012 list. Obsession would have been there too, but I didn't get to hear it until about a month later.

I'll add the new Queens Of The Stone Age and Black Sabbath's 13 to my list list so far.

I am looking forward to the new Nektar.

Powerworld - Cybersteria
Saxon - Sacrifice
Saffire - From Ashes To Fire
Helker - Somewhere In The Circle
Hatriot - Heroes Of Origin
Krokus - Dirty Dynamite
Jungle Rot - Terror Regime
Mastercastle - On Fire
Pamela Moore - Resurrect Me
UDO - Steelhammer
Battle Beast - Battle Beast
Airbourne - Black Dog Barking
Soulhealer - Chasing The Dream

Pretty bad-Ass Hardcore / Crossover Thrash with shades of classic Prong...loving the RAW production and the Vio-lence *esque* gang chants

I like that list, I haven't heard all of the albums but Purson, Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats, Jess & the Ancient Ones, Voivod, Ghost and Kadavar are all on my list too (along with Sabbath and the completely non metal Sigur Ros, Laura Marling and Boards of Canada) Age of Taurus might just sneek in there and I'm really looking forward to new Alcest and Bloody Hammers too this year.

edit, forgot the awesome Blood Ceremony record!

My updated list so far:

1. Steven Wilson - The Raven That Refused To Sing
2. Laura Marling - Once I Was An Eagle
3. Black Sabbath - 13
4. Deep Purple - Now What?!
5. Riverside - Shrine Of New Generation Slaves

Also enjoyed the Purson, Kadavar and Blood Ceremony discs just not sure where they will rank yet.

Deep Purple - Now What?!
Burning Rain - Epic Obsession
Tom Keifer - The Way Life Goes
Buckcherry - Confessions
American Dog with / Fin - Dogatized
Queensryche - Queensryche

My Updated list:

Queensryche - S/T
Black Sabbath - 13
Megadeth - Super Collider
Deep Purple - Now What?

So far I've only bought six albums released this year:

Krokus - Dirty Dynamite
Helloween - Straight Out Of Hell
Lordi - To Beast Or Not To Beast
Megadeth - Super Collider
Saxon - Sacrifice
Stryper - Second Coming

From this list, the new Megadeth is my favorite.  Stryper would actually be a very close second, but I'm not really counting the re-recorded classics.

the new Nektar is very good.

Up to this point my favorites would be:

Sabbath
Havok
Megadeth
Grave Declaration

the new Tom Keifer album is fantastic. I am loving it.
