Top 57 Music Albums of 2014
by babyBlueSedan

Mostly made this just to keep track of what I've listened to from this year. Should see some more entries over the next few weeks and as end of year lists start coming out. I promise I don't hate everything I've heard this year even though my comments make it seem that way.

Update 9/3/18: Updated everything over 70 to have accurate ratings. The rest is an inaccurate wasteland written by 2014 me.

Update 2/19/20: Updated the 70s and above again

The Koz has really been growing on me and this is his best.

I don't know what I was thinking the first time I heard this, this is just as good as Attack on Memory.

It will be incredibly difficult to dethrone this as my album of the year. I'm hoping Kanye's or Kendrick's album will do it (because I have high expectations for those two, not because I don't want this to be my favorite), but it's unlikely. Gibbs's rapping and Madlib's beats are like yin and yang.

EDIT: so much for those 2014 Kanye / Kendrick albums :(

I waited until 2015 to listen to this so it seems like cheating to put it here, but I really enjoyed it. I almost gave up near the beginning but there's just too much variety to not like it. Much better (I think) than You're Nothing.

This. This is how you make experimental music you make it weird and quirky and adventurous but you make it listenable and fun too. Keeps you guessing.

Don't feel like writing a comment but all the others have one so I regret I slept on this and can't wait for his new one!

My album of the year for a while. Almost perfect. Red Eyes is phenomenal and Eyes to the Wind is soulcrushingly beautiful.

One of my new favorite bands. Very underwhelming after hearing their other albums but I still really enjoyed it.
