Top 100 Music Albums of 2014
by 19loveless91 
Album count so far: 131 albums + I guess a couple of EPs (also Cilvia Demo which is apparently officially an EP).

Well, it's been an interesting year. Don't really know if it was good or bad, or if my attempts to achieve personal growth were at least a minor success (I guess time will tell about that), but in the process I actually did a lot of things and a lot has happened to me. And it's the first time in years I can say that with full honesty. Concerning music, too, it hasn't at all been boring. While I'm nowhere near on the level of some fellow users, I'm quite happy with the amount of music i had listened to and the number of live shows I have seen.
I made a post on tumblr bragging about those, if you wish to see it:

Mulatu Astatke, Ought, Mac DeMarco, St. Vincent, Portishead, Warpaint, Janelle Monae, Cut Copy (!!), Swans, Xiu Xiu were some of my favourite live acts...

Regarding the quality of this years releases, I think that there are easily 35-40 albums here that I'll be returning to, + select songs from many others. However I can't say I'm completely happy looking at the top albums, at least when comparing them to previous years. There just hasn't been anything this year that would completely blow me away, or that I would feel was an instant classic of our era, sort of like Good Kid m.A.A.d. City in 2012, or Modern Vampires (or Holter's album) last year. Still a couple of albums that came close (one of them only being released after all the music publications already released their end of year lists).
I decided to just fill out the entire 100 spots, but that means that I'm not quite as enthusiastic about the albums towards the end of the list, + it has to be noted that the order gets a bit random in the second half - while I decided not to include albums I only listened to once (meaning there are still some potential entries - e.g. Azealia Banks' album, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, Max Graef etc.), there are still many that I don't remember well enough.

Unlike a lot of this mathcore music, these guys aren't just technically great players, but create a really interesting sound.

I really miss the self-reflecting (and exact listen counting) chart introductions and detailed imagery in the album notes of your earlier year charts. Also where's your 2019, ti nor bedak

In addition to this chart containing lots of entries I also like a lot (Enter the Slasher House and Metamodern Sounds in Country Music being two notable examples), I also really appreciate the comments accompanying the selections. It's pretty evident, both from the comment and from its generous ranking here, that I need to check out Warpaint's self-titled album.

Warpaint has actually been my "most listened/sung album while showering" (for showering only), hence the top 10 :)

A very solid end of year list, and while we have a bit in common there is plenty of divide for interesting perspective. There’s a bit I haven’t listened to and I’ll definitely be using this as a source for my own repeat listens.
