Honestly 2014 wasn't a super good year for music from my perspective. 2013 had a lot of top/god tier albums (Random Access Memories, The Electric Lady, Beyonce off the top of my head, Gogol Bordello and Random Encounter also both put out albums in 2013 and Arcade Fire's Reflektor album was pretty good) but I can't think of anything that came out in this last year that knocks it out of the park like those did. I started putting together a top ten favorite albums of the year list months ago figuring it would fill up and I like never even got past six. HR: Red is of course on there, but even though it's great it's really half an album since it's the followup to Blue which came out in 2012; on its own it feels sort of incomplete. I also mentioned Ridiculous 2 by Joey Zadjino, which out of everything that came out this year I would say I've sincerely enjoyed the most. It's short but it's fun and Joey got way tighter after his last album when he decided to quit nerdcore for reals and pulled all his old albums off the internet, his production got cleaner and his writing got better and he stopped leaning on some of his old crippling internet gamer bro writing crutches and started just rapping about being a champ, which is something I can get behind.

And then Peace Through Tyranny, which is what I ended up giving my fav album of the year slot to; something I told Onslaught when it first came out was that it hit a good sweet spot between the thrash/heavy metal style he'd started experimenting with and his older synth heavy industrial stuff, which I liked a lot. His composition and writing also leaped a level; it just all around feels like it has a lot more substance than some of his earlier albums, especially First Blood which I didn't personally care for. Onslaught's been getting real good, if you've only sort of skimmed his stuff before you really should check out PTT, and his Flesh Scars and Flesh Wounds EP that also came out this year, which really I think was the turning point for me in terms of "this is real music" as opposed to "this is music my friend made". (The three other albums that made my list were the new MC Frontalot, the new Descendants of Erdrick, and Reapers. The new Random Encounter LP is good too but like... I mean... that cover art is something yo)
