Album of The Year - Endgame

I've been forgetting about this thread lately, so let's get back into it.

2013:
1. Paramore - Paramore
2. AFI - Burials
3. Twenty One Pilots - Vessel
4. Daft Punk - Random Access Memories
5. Stromae - Racine Carrée
6 Device - Device
7. Alice In Chains - The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here
8. Korn - The Paradigm Shift
9. David Bowie - The Next Day
10. The Strokes - Comedown Machine

This was also the year where one of my absolute favorite bands, Red, released their most disappointing album, Release The Panic. It was their only album not produced by Rob Graves, opting for a more radio friendly direction with producer Howard Benson (Flyleaf, Three Days Grace, My Chemical Romance). Luckily, the album that followed, Of Beauty And Rage, is not only their best album, but also one of my favorite albums of all time.
