I would agree that this is a strange year. Many of my favorite artists/bands released albums this year, but with the exception of Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavilion I feel that they pretty much all released albums that seem to be lesser inclusions in their respective discographies.

 

I'm like trying to think of a seismic shift in the industry or something that happened this year, but it's def that dark period where CDs weren't selling anymore and streaming wasn't a thing yet. Lots and lots and lots of MP3s and burned CDs.

 

I'm just honest

 

I’m biased because the album was profoundly influential in starting Hailey, but while I’ll give you the electronics themselves being less sophisticated than she’d get later, on a song-for-song basis it’s a staggeringly good debut. “Quiet” is still her single best song for my money.

 

As said by others, a less impressive year than those before it, but still some big ones for me.

1. Kevin Devine - Brother’s Blood
2. Thrice - Beggars
3. Alexisonfire - Old Crows / Young Cardinals
4. mewithoutYou - It's All Crazy! It's All False! It's All a Dream! It's Alright
5. Every Time I Die - New Junk Aesthetic

Honorable Mentions:
Bon Iver – Blood Bank EP
Dance Gavin Dance – Happiness
Kid Cudi - Man on the Moon: The End of Day
The Lonely Island – Incredibad
Mastodon - Crack the Skye
Say Anything - Say Anything
Set Your Goals - This Will Be the Death Of Us
The Swell Season - Strict Joy
Touché Amoré – ...To the Beat of aDead Horse

Hasn’t aged well, but if we’re being honest about what I was into back then:
A Day To Remember - Homesick
Brand New - Daisy
POS - Never Better

 

Is there allegations about POS, or is that from a musical perspective that his music hasn’t aged well?

 

Sadly, there are.

 

idk where else to post this lol. @OhTheWater do you remember the name of the bedroom diy project from like 2012-13 where i wanna say the singer’s name was caroline? is this ringing a bell lol? i wanna say it was just vocals and acoustic too
