I agree, 2014 has been a very weak year... Lana Del Rey's album was bad and the black keys' album was bad, and the same can be said for the new Parquet Courts and Shabaz Palaces. I assume that it's because a lot of great music has been produced in the last two years and we're still waiting for their follow ups. Frank Ocean, Kendrick Lamar, Queens of the Stone Age, Kanye West, Haim, Miguel, and Disclosure are just a few artists that have released great music in the past couple of years so we have to settle for the new music that's out now, which is just not that good. Unfortunately no new acts have come out this year that have sparked my interest. However, I would say that Piñata by Freddie Gibbs and Madlib is the album of the year and would hold up any other year.
I prefer last year, but there's a lot of time left. A lot of personal favorites released records last year (Nick Cave, Low, Califone, Wire, MBV, Mazzy Star, and Mark Kozelek put out 3 albums compared to 1 this year). So, based on that, it's hard to beat, but there's still plenty to love about 2014, especially below the surface of what's getting loads of press. _________________ http://jonnyleather.com
Course! If you've got any recs for me, that'd be great too 😄 Oh and a certain someone named benpaco put out a 2014 album that's worth checking out 😜 _________________
I find that people who think there isn't enough good new music coming out tend not to listen to enough new music.
Basically. Threads like this seem to consistently pop up on a quarter yearly basis for as long as ive been here. Every year is bad or not as good as the last. 2014 has been great and i still feel like ive missed out on a lot.
