Andi Deris & The Bad Bankers - Million Dollar Haircuts On Ten Cent Heads
Tracklist:
1. Cock
2. Will We Ever Change
3. Banker's Delight (Dead Or Alive)
4. Blind
5. Don't Listen To The Radio (TWOTW 1938)
6. Who Am I
7. Must Be Dreaming
8. The Last Days Of Rain
9. EnAmoria
10. This Could Go On Forever
11. I Sing Myself Away
Gotta love this album! Great melodies, written and composed by Andi Deris. It's melodic, kinda new metal-ish, but with great vocals and just awesome as fuck! My favorite songs are "Cock", "Will We Ever Change", "Don't Listen to the Radio (TWOTW 1938)" and "EnAmoria".
These are the album realeases I've bought and listened to last year. I got some more albums too, like Place Vendome - "Thunder in the Distance", Michael Schenker - "Bridge the Gap" and Saxon - "Strung Up and Unplugged". Of course, there's a lot more albums that's been released in 2013, studio and live, like Deep Purple - " Now What?! Gold Edition", where three songs are recorded live at Getaway Rock Festival, Lita Ford - "Bitch is Back...Live" and Joan Jett - "Unvarnished".

I think 2014 is going to be a great year for music too. Gamma Ray will be releasing an album in March, Unisonic and Helloween are entering studio, and a new Judas Priest album will be happening too. Heavy metal music joy!

Hope you liked my music 2013 recap. Do you got any favorite album(s) from last year?
