    I love The Dear Hunter's first 3 albums, but I only really liked 3 of the EPs from The Color Spectrum. And Migrant was okay, but nothing more than that, for me. Casey's earlier work sounds way more passionate, while Migrant just sounded like it was trying to be more of the "alternative" music thats coming from everybody else these past couple years. "Girl" was a good song, though.

     

    I agree that Migrant wasn't their best. If you haven't checked out the B sides (The Migration Annex) it's more than worth a listen, and is generally much better. Casey doesn't seem to know what a B side is supposed to be. Also, IMO The Color Spectrum is one of the greatest musical releases in the last decade, but then again I was introduced to TDH through that collection.

    If you're into Prog Rock (specifically new-prog) there's always incredible gems being released, but pretty much none of them will ever be heard because they are nothing like modern popular music, but they also seem to be rejected by a big chunk of the classic prog lovers.

     

    My favs from the year:

    The Custodian - Necessary Wasted Time

    The Dear Hunter - Migrant (the B sides are the best part in my oppinion, and their massive back catalog is unreal)

    K Sera - Collisions and Near Misses

     

    Come to think of it, 2012 was a much bigger year for prog rock

    Anathema - Weather Systems

    Gazpacho - March of Ghosts

    The Pineapple Thief - All the wars

    Swans - The Seer (this album is more of an 'experience' than music, though it really is a masterpiece. It will give you very deep and bizzare feelings)

     

    Non prog music from 2013:

    City and Colour - The Hurry and The Harm (I'm Canadian).

    Sound City - Real to Reel (there's some real duds, but there are a few great jems)

    Portugal. The Man - Evil Friends (not their strongest album, but Danger Mouse was involved in this one so if you like his work it's more than worth a look)
