I liked the hell out of RTJ2, FKA Twigs and WoD. Not so sure about the Grouper album. Surprised they didn't put Benji there or #4. I also wasn't totally blown away by the Aphex Twin album. I think I preferred Caribou as far as an electronic release.

The War on Drugs is easily my favorite of the year. Like RtJ a good bit too, never listened to any of the others in the top 5.

Like Benji and Our Love a lot too.

I'm shocked Transgender Dysphoria Blues by Against Me didn't make their list. First off, it fits their hipster politics. Secondly, it rocks the frick out.

Oh, I see the problem. Pitchfork, still paranoid of fun and noise.

Speaking of: Stereogum just did a "year in review" with Laura Jane Grace, the singer for Against Me.

It's freaking Pitchfork. Of course it's hipster. It's become so associated with hipsters that even hipsters don't like it anymore.

Lots of pop on there.

Royal Blood is not on the top 50 or did I overlook?



And this Cold War Kids release, I am telling yall is a sleeper.


Glad to see SPOON in the top half.
