Maybe you've been wondering, 'where is that album of the week?' for the past couple weeks. Maybe you have not, and unless you are among the few brave souls that read our updates here, you probably could not care less. That's all fine and good, but we care enough to have taken a few extra days here to ruminate about the best music we've heard in the past three months. A quarter of a year goes by in such a flash, but the amount of great music being made always seems to be a full meal. While the third quarter is typically one of the slower release periods of the year, some really great music is usually unleashed during this time as artists are usually wanting to hit the road to promote their projects from late summer into early autumn. 2013 seems to be no exception, and we could probably make a best-of-the-year list out of what's here alone, but we will be gearing up for that in December. (You may have seen our extensive half-year list a few months back.)
So, here are our favorites. Remember, this list is TOTALLY subjective and only reflects our opinions. You may have an opinion of your own. That's fine, and we would like to see your lists as well if you feel like adding a comment. We're sure there will be some great lists by the end of the year. Here's a recent roundup then:
