Top 100 Music Albums of 2014 by Purplepash

A good year for psychedelic rock, indie rock, art punk, punk rock, and art pop.

By "best" I mean "subjectively my favourite from what I have listened to" but best is quicker and easier to type.

"And I'll shut up and spend a week inside my head"

Amazing album. Musical nervous anxiety.

Best folk punk album of the year
Best Australian album of the year

"So I ask for directions even though I know exactly where I am
Just want someone to talk to"

Honest unflinching emo folk punk with powerful song structures and some great lyrics throughout -
"And the first time we made love
It was dark and we were drunk
In someone else's, someone else's hostel bathroom
And you turned your back to me
And I said, "If this is the first of many
Then turn back around so I can fucking kiss you""

10/10 song: I Don't Want To Die Anymore
