Top 10 Albums of 2014
1. Fireworks – Oh, Common Life (Lyrically and thematically brilliant. Fireworks is a band I can continuously count on to push the boundaries of genre)
2. Copeland – Ixora (The return of one of my all time favorite bands did not disappoint. Brooding, introspective indie rock)
3. Let It Happen – Cause + Effect (Infectious pop rock that you probably overlooked.)
4. Taylor Swift – 1989
5. Northbound – Death Of A Slug
6. This Will Destroy You – Another Language
7. Transit – Joyride
8. Against Me! – Transgender Dysphoria Blues
9. James Vincent McMorrow – Post Tropical
10. The Menzingers – Rented World
Top Songs of 2014
1. Indebted – Forever Came Calling (Pop Punkers FFC create one of my favorite and catchiest rock choruses of the year with this one)
2. Jealous – Nick Jonas (Pop/R&B GOLD by the former Jonas Brother. A much more mature and sexy sound)
3. Your Graduation – Modern Baseball (A fun, easy band to listen to. Especially if your feelings are ordinarily unreciprocated)
