Four Albums Down, Seven More to Go!

UPDATE (10/8/2016 8:09 PM): Removed links to posts.

The first four of my favorite albums to come out of this year have been announced and given the full Auditory Adventurer treatment! If you missed their reviews, check out the list below and click the links to read why they made the cut. The fun is only beginning with #9 and #8 coming out later today and 7 more to be revealed. What will top the list? Who knows! Well, I know, but just humor me. What would top your list of favorite albums of 2013? I’m sure there are plenty of great albums that I didn’t get a chance to hear, so tell me what has been commandeering your headphones for this past year. Might give me ideas for new reviews and recommendations to make for the beginning of the year.
