The Best Of 2013: Albums
Over at Reviler Labs we’re always working on the next cutting edge development in music blogging. This year, after hour upon hour of tireless scientific experimentation we’re pleased to unveil the newest feature that we’re pretty sure is going to take the world by storm. It’s called the end-of-year list, and it’s brought to you for the very first time by reviler.org. How it works is that we pick our favorite songs, albums, shows, etc from the previous year and present them to you in the form of a list. Pretty neat, eh? So without further ado, we’d like to present the Best of 2013. Just remember, when all of the other blogs go copying this in 2014, you heard it first from reviler.org.
