5) Off With Their Heads - Home (March 12)

Note

The band's second album with Epitaph looks to be Off With Their Heads' best album yet. Packed full of energy, Home takes everything you loved about the Minneapolis punk outfit and Ryan Young's harsh vocals and takes it to the next level.

4) Caravels - Lacuna (March 26)

Note

After taking the post-hardcore world by storm with its split EP with Gifts From Enola in 2012, Caravels is primed to set it on fire in 2013 with its Topshelf Records debut, Lacuna. The album was live tracked in Vegas and it shows - you won't many albums this raw, intense, and emotional in 2013.

3) The Story So Far - What You Don't See (March 26)

Note

After wowing fans with its 2011 Pure Noise debut, Under Soil and Dirt, The Story So Far has been advertised as the next great hope in the pop-punk community going into 2013. Will the band's upcoming new album, What You Don't See, live up to the hype? Find out March 26th. Spoiler alert: it does.

2) Senses Fail - Renacer (March 26)

Note

Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks? 13 years into the scene and Senses Fail is still evolving and releasing its best material yet, as Renacer is a colossal departure from its previous albums. Vocalist Buddy Nielsen has never sound better or more positive, while the music is Senses Fail's heaviest yet.

1) Justin Timberlake - The 20/20 Experience (March 19)

Note

Seriously though, who isn't anticipating this album at least just a little bit? It's been over six years since Justin Timberlake released the benchmark in pop (FutureSex/LoveSounds, and it seems like he's set his goals even higher with his upcoming third album (10 tracks 70 minutes!). If "Mirrors" is any indication, this album will be well worth the six-plus year wait.

Honorable Mentions

Wavves - Afraid of Heights (March 26)
Youth Lagoon - Wondrous Bughouse (March 5)
Cartel - Collider (March 26)
Lydia - Devil (March 19)
The Color Morale - Know Hope (March 26)
Josh Ritter - The Beasts in its Tracks (March 5)
The Strokes - Comedown Machine (March 26)

Conditions- Full of War

Stoked for Off With Their Heads and Wavves! And I now feel compelled to look at lists obsessively to see if this is the first time Justin Timberlake and OWTH have appeared on the same lists ever before.

I'm really disappointed in the new The Story So Far... so far. Upon my first 2 listens, nothing really stood out.

Excited for the new The Last Bison (formerly Bison) album, didn't even realize they had a new album coming out until yesterday lol

Just waiting for shit to break loose in april

Can't wait for Timberlake + TSSF.

Yeah, April is when the good shit really gets going. But Caravels should be sweet. TSSF was solid. JT will likely not disappoint.
