Individual track descriptions and ratings for each track can also be found soon for each track by clicking on my top 5 tracks. To see all my reviews for the most notable albums of the year click on the more button found after the first two albums.

Paramore: Paramore

The latest album from Paramore frays away from a specific sound and pursues many different genres in what is an excellent album from the alternative rock band. On this album you can find throwbacks, pop songs, a country song and even a ukulele interlude in an album which switches up its’s sound often, all while highlighting the vocals of lead singer Hayley Williams.

My Top 5 Tracks: Now, Still Into You, Ain’t It Fun, Hate To See Your Heart Break, Grow Up

Fall Out Boy: Save Rock and Roll

The fifth album from alternative rock band Fall Out Boy features guest appearances from The Foxes, Big Sean, Courtney Love and Elton John while coming in at 11 tracks and just over 41 minutes. The band is still happy to experiment, mix things up and try new sounds five albums in and have released an excellent ambitious album this time around.

My Top 5 Tracks: The Phoenix, My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark, Alone Together, Save Rock and Roll, Young Volcanoes

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.

Wretch 32: Wretchercise Mixtape Review

To download the latest mixtape from rapper Wretch 32 click on the image above.

British rapper Wretch 32 is known as one of the U.K’s best wordsmiths and saw huge success with his second studio album Black and White earlier this year. The album had three top five singles and was a ralbum which charted well and was a breakthrough album for the rapper.

With this mixtape Wretch keeps more of a street sound compared to his album with not as many pop sounding hooks. Wretch also gives some of the spotlight to his other British rap friends on this release with many features found on the 17 track long mixtape. The highlights of the mixtape are the tracks in which British rappers Wretch 32 and Chip both share the spotlight with their incredible chemistry on the tracks Drinking In The Sky and Action Man. Meanwhile on Hold Me Back Wretch shows why he’s regarded as one of the U.K.’s best lyricists with some witty wordplay.

Wretchercise is a solid release which shows the rap skills of one of the U.K’s rising rappers Wretch 32. This new release from 32 gets 3 stars.

My Top 5 Tracks: Drinking In The Sky, Action Man, Hold Me Back, Wretchercise, Broken Promises

Listen to and download the mixtape from Wretch 32 below and let me know your thoughts on the project in the comments.

As you may have been able to tell from the lack of updates on the site the past two weeks, I regretfully haven’t had the time to update the site other than an album review here and there during the past two weeks due to me being too busy at college to update my site. Over the next day with the holiday weekend, I will be doing a mass update catching up on the past two weeks in music. See all the videos by clicking the more button found after the top two videos from the past two weeks.
