Also really enjoying this summers release from Alvvays.

Alvvays are great, just discovered them recently. 'Next of kin' is one of my fave songs at the moment actually.

I'm really out to date with a lot of these music, but I agree with any site that has RTJ2 in their top ten.

Critics pick the best albums of 2014
http://www.metacritic.com/feature/cr...albums-of-2014
Below is our updated running tally of the albums most frequently mentioned by individual music publications in their year-end Top Ten lists. Although many of the lists come from publications whose reviews are included on this site, we have also included extra lists from prominent music stores, websites, and publications not normally found in Metacritic's music section.

Sharon Van Etten put out a pretty good album this year. Not sure about these lists. The War on Drugs & Cloud Nothings both put out albums that are on many of these lists but I liked their previous albums better. Guess it was enough for this year.

Not enough love for DBT's English Oceans on these lists and thus I am waiting for the Troutman best of list with eager anticipation.

Podcast - All Songs Considered: The Year In Music 2014
http://www.npr.org/blogs/allsongs/20...-in-music-2014
From established artists like Beck, St. Vincent and Weezer to new acts like FKA Twigs, Sturgill Simpson, Sylvan Esso and Luluc, 2014's releases were varied and surprising. Some, like the beautiful albums by Beck and Luluc, made an impression while keeping the volume low; others, including the sophomore album from the hip-hop duo Run The Jewels, made a noise that was impossible to turn down once it arrived like a buzzsaw in October. And then there are the pop juggernauts who bookended the year: Beyoncé, whose self-titled album came out late in 2013 but echoed through most of this year, and Taylor Swift, who wiped the floor (sales-wise, at least) with every other album released in 2014.
This is just the beginning of our year-end extravaganza. Next week NPR Music will share lists of our favorite albums and favorite songs, as well as individual lists from Bob, Robin, Stephen and Ann.
