Mid-2014 Best Of Albums

[CultExciter]

I really enjoyed our year end recap thread. I discovered a bunch of things that I hadn't heard! What has everyone really been stoked on the first six months of the year?

Here is my top ten thus far (in no particular order):

1. Augustines - Augustines

2. The Afghan Whigs - Do The Beast

3. Jessica Lea Mayfield - Make My Head Sing

4. Cloud Nothings - Here And Nowhere Else

5. Young Fathers - Dead

6. Cheap Girls - Famous Graves

7. OFF! - Wasted Years

8. Primitive Man - P // M

9. The Cutthroats 9 - Dissent

10. Godflesh - Decline And Fall

Not alot of Hip-Hop that has done it for me so far. That Riff Raff record was stink stink. I'm patiently awaiting the A$AP MOB record.

Agreed. I listened to it twice yesterday. The "hey ho rock and roll" chant kinda made my stomach churn, however, it still has some really interesting parts.

So far I've been really digging (in sorta order).

Beach Slang – Who Would Ever Want Anything So Broken?

Patton Oswalt – Tragedy Plus Comedy Equals Time

Nothing - Guilty of Everything

The Lawrence Arms – Meetropole

Against Me – Transgender Dysphoria Blues

The Menzingers – Rented World

Not out yet, but really looking forward to:

Dikembe - Mediumship

Cayetana - Nervous Like Me

Restorations - LP3

The Holy Mess - Comfort in the Discord

Prawn - Kingfisher

Long story short, if a band is from Philadelphia or on Tiny Engines record, I'm probably into it.

St. Vincent – St. Vincent

I finally saw the Nirvana Rock N Roll Hall of Fame induction with the girl from this band singing with them. It was kinda cool, and I'd like to check them out.

The only album I've bought this year is the new SWANS. I picked it up when they played here last week and haven't listened to it yet. Mostly I just listen to the same things I've been listening to for years. I'm pretty okay with that.

Against Me – Transgender Dysphoria Blues

Came to post this, too late I guess! Saw them last year at Riot Fest, and one of the bands im most looking forward to this year as well.

Along with fucking Slayer. Duh.

I hear Primus has an all right bass player, too...
