Most Anticipated Albums Of 2013

With 2013 all wrapped up here at GoodMusicRadar.com as we continue to catch up to current day music here are the most anticipated albums and releases which I am currently looking forward to most for this upcoming year. Check out the list of anticipated albums set for possible release in 2013 below.

A$AP Rocky: Long Live A$AP Long Live A$AP was the studio debut album from rapper A$AP Rocky and was released on January 15th. In May of 2011 Rocky and his crew quit selling drugs in favor of starting a music career and having already shown the ability to make a notable mixtape, now is Rocky’s first shot at creating a notable album. The album already has hit single Goldie and F*ckin Problems. This album could see A$AP clearly breakthrough into the public eye with the rapper already securing a Grammy performance with Rihanna as well as opening up for her tour.

Devlin: A Moving Picture Devlin is one of the top British grime rappers and released his sophomore album on February 4th. The album has features from Ed Sheeran and Wretch 32 with this album being his first release where he has a large following. This album will show whether Devlin can progress and show why he has referred to by many as one of the U.K.’s top rappers.

Joe Budden: No Love Lost The third album from Slaughterhouse rapper Joe Budden was released on February 5th. The album continues to show Budden’s continued growing maturity as well as growth as an artist with the rapper gaining more of a spotlight due to Slaughterhouse.

Justin Timberlake: The 20/20 Experience One of my most anticipated albums of the year is Justin Timberlake’s long awaited third studio album which was released on March 15th. The album features the hit single Suit & Tie which has an appearance from Jay-Z.  The album from Timberlake follows up his 2006 album and has a soul/R&B feel to it from the triple threat.

Mumford & Sons: Babel Album Review

To purchase the sophomore album from folk rock band Mumford & Sons click on the image above.

Babel is the second studio album from indie folk band Mumford & Sons and was released on September 25th. The album charted at number one and became the quickest selling album of 2012 with 600,000 copies sold in the U.S. in its first week. The quality of the album shows why this album has been so successful with the sophomore album from the group being another great album.

The second album from the indie folk band is more fine-tuned and arena friendly than its first and is a great follow-up to the groups breakthrough debut album. The album has the same passionate intensity found on the debut album with the sound more fine-tuned and gritty this time around. Babel builds on the foundation established by the previous album and displays the growth of the band which was gained from constant touring with each other. Songs like I Will Wait and Babel are prime examples of the evolution which the band has taken since their debut album with a livelier sound to their music which is shown exceptionally on these two standout tracks. The album never has a weak moment with every song on the album being at least very good in my opinion which makes this be one of the top albums of the year so far for me.

Babel is an extremely good album from Mumford & Sons which gets a strong 4 stars.

My Top 5 Tracks: I Will Wait, Babel, Whispers In The Dark, Hopeless Wanderer, Holland Road
