7) Suicidal Tendencies, 13 (Suicidal Records)
The second record titled “13” on my list, and also the second from a legendary band that’s continuing to put out great records as well as great live shows. I missed their set at New England Metal and Hardcore Fest this year, but I have no doubt that I’ll get another opportunity to thrash out with them live.
6) Black Sabbath, 13 (Republic)
While it’s a bummer that all the original members are on this album except Bill Ward, I can’t help but love rocking out to it.
5) Motörhead, Aftershock (UDR)
Health issues can’t stop Lemmy. Motorhead’s 21st album shows that the band has absolutely no plans to stop rocking and melting faces off of a whole new generation of new fans.
