Favorite Albums of 2013

Wanted to get my best albums (full lengths) of 2013 rundown, and associated playlist, up before I head south to Atlanta for holiday vacation. Expect a Best EP/7" list and set of favorite songs from this year that happen to be off albums just outside these two lists (was hard to pare things down) in the very near future.  I also will  be posting top 10 (ish) lists from some great people with impeccable taste over the next week or two.  So, with all that said, here's my top 25 for the year.
