stereogum has posted its list of most anticipated albums for 2013. as they point out, the only albums they list are ones that are relatively certain to come out in 2013. you can check their whole list here, but below are the albums from that list that i am most looking forward to.

also, new albums by glasser and mgmt (although i think these most likely didn't make s'gum's list because they aren't as solidly confirmed for release. i think it's a pretty safe bet that they'll see the light of day in 2013, though).
