I love your list a ton, I keep tiny to get into that basement record and can't do it.. is there anything in particular I should listen for?
That's cool, I haven't seen anyone put Chase on their list yet and I was pleasantly surprised by how nice that album is.
I think it's definitely their most interesting album, for sure the most ambitious. The production is great and I really appreciate the continuation to evolve. The songs just don't grab me like the ones on Absent Sounds though, it's a cool listen but I rarely feel like returning, not much about it really sticks with me.

I had like 50 this year too, but last year I only had a Top 10 because I only listened to about 20 new albums (and only 10 of them more than once), if that. Some years that happens.
Totally forgot about this record. I listened to this so much when it first came out. It's a great spin.
Agreed! I wonder if it would have done as a summer release as opposed to coming out in the middle of January.
The Sound and the Story podcast did a deep dive on Bon Iver's For Emma, Forever ago that a lot of you may be interested in...I absolutely loved the stories that came out of Brand New's episode.
It totally feels like a summer/spring album. I listened to it still a bunch when it came out but if it was released in like May I would have spun it all summer. January was a weird date to pick for sure.
Definitely check those ones out. Microwave had my number two spot for a second but MoBo came out earlier and got more play.
In the best order I could muster: 1. Taking Back Sunday - Tidal Wave 2. Tiny Moving Parts - Celebrate 3. Pinegrove - Cardinal 4. The Hotelier - Goodness 5. Touche Amore - Stage Four 6. Blink-182 - California 7. Microwave - Much Love 8. The Dirty Nil - Higher Power 9. Violent Soho - Waco 10. Moose Blood - Blush Honorable mentions/Also enjoyed: 11. Adjy - Prelude (.3333) 12. PUP - The Dream is Over 13. You Blew it! - Abendrot 14. Jank - Versace Summer
Yeah I agree! Fortunately my only beach trip of the year was in March so it was a nice treat to already have new summer music out.
The wife and I saw them play it in full on release day in Chicago. Then my wife bought tickets to see them (and vacation) in Boston a few weeks later. And we met Adam and John after that show, so this record had a lot of meaning to me this year.
