In no particular order I'd say...
Steven Wilson's The Raven That Refused to Sing (and Other Stories), and The Raven That Refused to Sing (and Other Stories) by Steven Wilson. Also Steven Wilson's third solo album, The Raven That Refused to Sing (and Other Stories). Did I mention...
To be serious, like someone else already mentioned The Raven might be the only album that really had an impact on me. But other records that caught my attention include:
The Ocean - Pelagial
Persefone - Spiritual Migration
Daft Punk - Random Access Memories
Justin Timberlake - The 20/20 Experience
Soilwork - The Living Infinite
Disperse - Living Mirrors
It's hard to think of anything else.
LATE ADDITION: Ernesto Schnack - Worldbuilding.

1. David Maxim Micic - Bilo 3.0, hands down the best album of the year. So good.
2. Killswitch Engage - Disarm The Descent, what a comeback after the awful second self-titled.
3. Mucc - Shangri-La, great album.
I have listened to some other releases too but these are the ones that I can say I really like.

I started a separate thread about this one over in the Jazz and Classical forum, but it's worth repeating here:
Definitely my album of the year.
I also really dig the new Chastain:

Funny because the vocals are (in addition to Jakub's playing) one of the things I like the most about this album. Complements his playing well and sounds unique. Prog sounding without being corny. I am on a total clean vocals kick and I think I am going to stay this way for a while (possibly forever). Seriously, after over 15 years of listening to metal, the vocals are all starting to sound the same to me.
Plini's stuff
Bilo 3.0
Extol - Extol
Fallujah - Nomadic
In Vain - Ænigma
Shade Empire - Omega Arcane

I also listened to the new Haken and Light Bearer thanks to this thread and they both will probably make it onto this list if they can keep up with a couple more spins. A lot of other albums I haven't even heard yet.. maybe I'll get to it next year like usually.

Don't know that I'm ready to post my own list, but Invisible Oranges has started putting up individual lists from their contributors, often with full-album streams or at least representative full-track samples, so that might be worth checking out.

Dude, that is awesome. Thanks for the hook-up. Not sure if I could sit through a full album stream...maybe just single full-track samples. xD
(In the meantime, I have actually been taking about two weeks to really adequately think about this list in my free time. Like I said, a lot has happened this year. - Only album I feel like I rushed/questioned was the Disfiguring the Goddess album because it "technically" dropped today [I got my copy early] but I loved everything anyway back in November when Cam began releasing the tracks online. I'm so set on my list here though, that I could delete my "honorable mentions" and still feel not a single pang of indifference towards anything on the list.)

I don't actually have very many albums that came out in 2013, so I'll just list what I can think of off hand (in no particular order).
Scale the Summit: The Migration
Intronaut: Habitual Levitations
Exivious: Liminal
Sketetonwitch: Serpents Unleashed
Ancients: Heart of Oak
Pomegranate Tiger: Entities
Coheed and Cambria: Descension

Bring Me The Horizon - Sempiternal
Tesseract - Altered State
Killswitch Engage - Disarm the Descent
Adept - Silence The World
The Neighbourhood - I Love You.
I would like to say Dream Theater's self-titled album but it just didn't make the cut. I still love DT though <3
That's all I can come up with for now!

has two first names
For me it'd probably be between Protest the Hero's Volition, the Black Dahlia Murder's Everblack, Scale the Summit's the Migration or Coheed and Cambria's Afterman: Descension. Maybe some JT or Gorguts, too.
