VC's Best of the Year 2013 List (you vote!)


Recommended Posts

Hey kids,

 

It's that time of year again, as such we'd like to get you guys and gals to vote on your favorite Album and Reissue of 2013. On the 31st we'll tabulate your votes and put up the results on the blog.

 

You can only vote once, however, you can list up to three albums in each category. 

 

If you'd like to include a quick summary of why the record(s) in question was good, please do. We'll be selecting a few of them to accompany the article. 

 

Here was last years list: http://www.vinylcollective.com/best-of-2012-community-top-5/

Umm, might want to reconsider your phrasing in the thread title, unless you really are wanting to know everyone's second favorite album of 2013.

 

Good point. I originally had it written as the "2nd Annual"

 

However, then it occurred to me that two years in a row does not annual make. It's been fixed now.

Albums:

Have Mercy-The Earth Pushed Back

HRVRD-From the Bird's Cage

Moving Mountains-Moving Mountains

Not really sure on my reissues though..A reissue is an album that has been out for awhile but never on vinyl correct?

 

A reissue is any catalogue title that was re-released this year.  For instance, Nirvana's In Utero was re-releases this year on Vinyl. That counts.

Still sort of confused lol wouldn't the new Circa presses be represses since everything is the same but vinyl color? A reissue would be something that was previously released (whether on vinyl or not) but with a different gatefold or single sleeve jacket maybe with new artwork or stuff like that.

Unfortunately for me, my top three were...

 

Grandview - Everything Between Paint and a Wall

Gatherer - Caught Between A Rock and a Sad Place

Young Lions - Burn

 

...and I don't think they'd win any community best of lists haha.

 

Nevertheless, I'd have to say

 

Have Mercy - The Earth Pushed Back

Mansions - Doom Loop

Turnover - Magnolia

The Wonder Years - the Greatest Generation

 

were all fantastic.

Touche Amore - Is Survived By

 

Reissues:

Blink 182 - TOYPAJ deluxe

Smashing Pumpkins - The Aeroplane Flies High

I remember last year we could pick up to 5! Limiting them down to 3 this year is really hard.

New Music:

 

Front Bottoms "Talon..." (Overall #1)

Restorations "LP2" (Overall #2)

Gatherer "Between..." (majorly overlooked HC album)

Foxing "The Albatross" (I love the sound and feel the passion in this one. Dig it)

Coasta "Zunzal" (Great Teaser - want more)

The National "Trouble..." (They can do no wrong apparently)

Old Grey "An Autobiography" 

 

Reissues:

Songs Ohia "Magnolia..." (Seriously one of the best overall reissue packages I've ever seen)

Samiam - the whole damn catalogue. This is the best thing about 2013 - Samiam for the people!

Life of Agony "River Runs Red" 20th Anniversary - this makes me feel old but the music holds up suckers.

Cursed "One" (Praise be to Deathwish for making this happen)
