What are YOUR top albums of 2013?

[FrostBite]

Forget the lists the blogs have put together. This thread is for your favorite albums of 2013. It's always interesting to see what everyone else has been listening to and possibly discover an album that you haven't heard yet. It can be your top 5, top 10, top whatever.

In no particular order, here are mine.

Toro Y Moi - Anything in Return
CHVRCHES - The Bones of What You Believe
Thundercat - Apocalypse
The Weeknd - Kiss Land
Jaymes Young - Dark Star
Janelle Monae - The Electric Lady
Mayer Hawthorne - Where Does This Door Go

Arcade Fire - Reflektor
Kanye West - Yeezus
London Grammar - If You Wait
James Blake - Overgrown
