Really like to see How to Dress Well so high on this list. That album was definitely top ten worthy material.
This is not at all what I expected when I read “new Tegan & Sara.” This sounds so young and fresh. But I really like it
it’s a shame that it went from being cool to like Lana Del Rey to being extremely uncool almost instantly. . . i still stand by her.
Really sad that Rilo Kiley didn’t make the list. . . and rumor has it that they may be dropping a B sides album or something this year. . .
looks like the Matt & Kim single dropped just a little too late to make it on to this list. . . Lovin’ that song.
Edward Sharpe “That’s What’s Up”
Alabama Shakes put out an absolutely amazing record! And they had so much buzz going too, I can’t believe there is no mention of them!
Has anyone said anything about Foxy Shazam yet? That band is unbelievable and they never get any recognition from blogs like this. . .
Well I, for one, loved Youth Without Youth. I thought it was everything a Metric single should be. . . Also loving this track as well. Can’t wait for Synthetica!
Had huge expectations for this single, and I could not be more pleased! Metric delivers their signature rock/electro/pop style, this time with a little bit harder of an edge but doesn’t sacrifice a hook in the process. Absolutely adore this song!
After reading this thread I was expecting to find this album pretty average, but I ended up really loving it. I’ve been a long time listener of the Shins, but never really considered myself a hardcore fan. I think this album is a great addition to the Shins catalogue, and I was pleasantly surprised at how solid this album is. Not a bad track on it.
I don’t know if it’s just me, but it seems like James Mercer has gotten more soulful on this one. I like it.
Metric is a must add to this list!
Also – Rilo Kiley, and Foxy Shazam
where is florence + the machine?!?!?!?
I think I’m the only person that doesn’t hate this list. . . . I completely agree with Ceremonials being number one.
It’s nice to see a list that’s not afraid to rate commercially successful albums high. Of course there are many things I don’t agree with, but all in all I don’t hate it.
The fact that Florence + the Machine’s “Ceremonials” does not appear completely undermines the relevancy of this list. . . That was the best album of the year by miles and miles (in my opinion).
I am also confused as to why Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. is number 6. . . umm what!?!?
It’s so hard to narrow down only ten tracks, but this list is actually pretty great. Would’ve like to see “A Man/Me/Then Jim” on here but I have very few complaints.
