Top 100 Music Albums of 2014
by paladisiac

For 2014, i'm tightening my minimum track-average rating from 61.67 to an even 64. The only allowable exceptions are: 1) those with a strong whole-album concept (where the whole is stronger than the sum of the parts), 2) albums JUST under 64-track avg that i believe i'll like more (and subsequently re-rate up) over time, and 3) for sentimental favorites.

I'm including brief synposes of albums here and will expand upon them per album once 2014 is over.

The New Pornographers have largely recaptured the magic of their first 2 albums, pumping multiple hooks into the majority of these abnormal pop/rock tracks. The poppiest tracks still mostly eminate from AC, the loveliest from Neko and the strangest from Bejar, but the tracks are tighter than they have been since Twin Cinema. If one article i read is true, this is in no small thanks to Kathryn Calder. Thank you, Kathryn. And thank you New Pornographers for once again bringing me an album more complex than simple pop but carrying all of the smiles. (And i still heavily heart Neko.)
