Top Ten Music Albums of 2013

Yeezus​
Yeezus​

"Yeezus" – as in the character doing the rapping – is a construct as much as any beat on the album. It may be constructed from parts of West's psyche, for sure, but it is also constructed by him. Any conflation of the character with the man denies West the right to create art.

Modern ​Vampires of the City​
Modern ​Vampires of the City​

Modern Vampires of the City is a good album in the Alternative/Indie Pop genre. Unfortunately for me, one portion concedes too much to a modern pop sound. Particularly "Worship You", which reminds me of plenty of songs I hear on the radio and change the station promptly.

Nothing Was ​the Same​
Nothing Was ​the Same​

NWTS not only puts his lyrical ability on full display, but he went off on “Pound Cake/Paris Morton Music 2,” going toe-to-toe with his idol Jay Z. The same can be said for “Tuscan Leather” and “The Language.” “The contract like ‘91 Dan Marino” and “Took a while, got the Jokers out of the deck now/I’m holding all the cards, niggas wanna play chess now” are #bars if you ask me.

Disclosure, 'Settle' This U.K. brother duo may still be too young to get into some of the clubs where their music is bumping. But they're steeped in disco history ("White Noise" could be an old-school techno classic).

Pale Green ​Ghosts​
Pale Green ​Ghosts​

The black humour throughout is what gives Pale Green Ghosts its soul, too, even when the album reaches Glacier, its heart-crushing climax. An epic song about Grant coming to terms with his homosexuality in the full, angry glare of homophobia, its chorus touchingly mixes shadows and light.
