Well the year is coming to an end so we might as well have a thread of music snobbery and self appreciation to remember our favorite albums/tracks.

My top 4:
1. Modern Vampires of the city- Vampire Weekend
2.Reflektor-Arcade Fire
3.Sheilds B side- Grizzly bear. (Kind of an EP but oh well)
4.Yeezus- Kanye west

I'm not going to quote that huge post, but @Benson. I was into the Mac Miller album at first impression but then I noticed that it was only the beats that changed and the actual lyricism was still pretty shitty.

Doris. You can never go wrong with Earl.

This is Ceres & Calypso in the Deep Time by Candy Claws. If you haven't listened to it, I'd highly suggest it.

Wolf. Tyler really showed some solid production on some of these songs. Regardless of how you like his actual flow, or behavior outside of music, the themes and harmonies in the songs are solid.

Demon to Lean On, because Wavves is great.

I'm actually not a huge rap fan, I just thought it was a cool sounding album. You're right, he's not the best lyricist, but the beats were next-level imo.
