At the end of every year, Limelight Magazine lists its favorite albums of the year. Out of all the new releases in 2023, these were the ones we listened to over and over again. Instead of writing about them, we decided to take a different approach. We treated this list as aFacebook music challenge with “no explanations, no reviews, just covers. ” We highly encourage you to give these albums a listen or even add them to your collection.
- RIVERSIDE – I.D.ENTITY
2. GODSMACK – LIGHTING UP THE SKY
3. AVENGED SEVENFOLD – LIFE IS BUT A DREAM…
4. MISSING PERSONS – HOLLYWOOD LIE
5. U.D.O. – TOUCHDOWN
6. ROLLING STONES – HACKNEY DIAMONDS
7. TREVOR RABIN – RIO
8. LILIAC – MADNESS
9. ALICE COOPER – ROAD
10. FIFTH ANGEL – WHEN ANGELS KILL
We’d also like to add Steven Wilson’s The Harmony Codex as this year’s honorable mention. This was another solid album released in 2023 that we played countless times.
