@fyf Have you decided on your album of the year for 2014?

@northernnarwhal I'm still waiting for the first annual Golden Narwhals from you.
-
@northernnarwhal Tought call, really. I'm still counting on Kendrick's album dropping this month, so that could change things.
-
@northernnarwhal @fyf Here's my vote http://rainbowdash.net/url/766014
-
@derpy128 They're actually already in progress. I will unveil my picks and whatnot later this month.
-
@northernnarwhal Anyway, there are a few I'm between. The obvious one that I've mentioned many times is Benji. Run the Jewels 2 really grew on me, and I really love the new Aphex Twin album. The unexpected one is My Favorite Faded Fantasy, because I'm a pleb who actually likes Damien Rice, and I felt like it could have been his best album yet.
-
@fyf I know the new D'Angelo record has been a very pleasant late year surprise for me
-
@fyf The new Damien Rice record was definitely his best yet.
-
@northernnarwhal It was definitely a great album. I don't know if I'd call it the best of 2014, or even the best folk album of the year, but it's an honorable mention at least.
-
@northernnarwhal I also enjoyed Spoon's They WAnt My Soul. Not even a candidate for best or even top 5, but still enjoyable.
-
@fyf I did enjoy that, though I feel like Spoon has been more captivating in the past
-
@northernnarwhal I don't disagree. Honestly, I'm still leaning towards Benji. I adored that album.
-
@fyf Benji was really good, incredibly intimate.
-
@northernnarwhal And that's what I like. Emotional, intimate and sad music. Hence, Modest Mouse, Arcade Fire, Decemberists.
-
@fyf It really depends on my mood. As far as emotionally intimate music goes I have a real soft spot for The Antlers
-
@northernnarwhal I don't expect to ever have the same connection to any album ever that I have with the Suburbs. It's the only album in my top favorites that tops all Modest Mouse albums.
