![]() ![]() A prog-power metal album at the number one spot?! Wow, big surprise Pigeon! Fair enough, and your sarcasm is noted. Its been another great year for metal - here’s what I thought made it so: After all whats a better gauge for how much you enjoyed an album than taking into account the number of times you’ve actually listened to it? And yeah, I do look at my iTunes stats to spot check myself just for kicks, but I really don’t have to - I’m proud of what I enjoy and will gladly own up to any of it. It also keeps me mindful of my listening habits and preferences throughout the year. I only ever do ten because it forces me to be critical, selective, and honest with myself. The resulting list is as always what I consider to be the ten albums released this year that I enjoyed the most. I listened to more new metal releases this year than any other, something I intended to do after missing the boat on so many excellent albums from the past two years until well after their release dates. And finally, in the thrilling(!) conclusion, I present The Metal Pigeon’s Best Albums of 2013, the second and final part of my overall best of the year feature ( click here for Part One: The Songs). ![]()
