WATMM's 2013 Album Of The Year - Nominations

Well it's that time again! Time for a warm fire, hot coco and some nice warped melting vinyl for your warped melting faces.

Starting a little later than usual this year, but no matter. I'll throw down my usual grab bag of yearly purchases to start the nominations off right. Then as you know, you add your nominations on to the list until I say it's time to vote which is usually right around the new year, so there's no excuse for not getting your nomination in, in three weeks. Let's get to it. I promise I'll post a winner this year:
