Best Of The Year 2013: First Quarter Update

As we've done every three months since the beginning of 2011, we will again be doing quarterly updates in 2013. All of the staff here at MuzikDizcovery listed our top five albums that we've heard so far in 2013, and wrote up little blurbs about why we love these albums. We really hope you check out the albums on our lists, as I'm sure most of them are very dear to us. There's a very wide variety of music that you'll find on these lists, as groups such as Owel, Autre Ne Veut, Justin Timberlake, K Sera, The Story So Far, My Bloody Valentine, Youth Lagoon, Foals and Frightened Rabbit all have mentions from at least two of our staff members, so we guarantee that there will be at least one artist on here that you will end up loving. Check out all of our lists below.

Album Review: Autre Ne Veut - Anxiety

Album Grade: A-

The new wave of R&B has shown us many faces of the genre in the past few years. Frank Ocean and The Weeknd both rely on minimalism and strong vocal performances to deliver their studies in self-examination and partying, respectively. Meanwhile, Miguel and Usher have both used their music as a template to make comically oversexualized odes to the women who please them. In the mainstream conscious, there seems to be no middle ground between these opposing factions.
