Migos

Coheed and cambria ascension

Ariana Grande - My Everything album is dope

St. Vincent's self-titled album is the only one even close to classic status for me.

Thriftworks just dropped 3 albums with over 100 dope tracks, last month alone. Faded, Fader & Fadest..

God your IQ must be low tier

I'll check all these videos when I get home tonight

I never really got into her style. You think this is her best album?

Link to a track or 2?

I'm not sure she has a defined style, but yes, I think this is her best.

Not every track is banging but a majority of the album is smooth

Does anyone know if Beck's new album is actually worth the hype it's getting? Haven't listened to him in awhile.

Here's "Fade" the first one he dropped..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjlZtY72Wpk

Ten plus ten, I need 20 of them
Ten plus ten, spent that on your bitch and them

U wish u knew black ppl don't u

Cool. Thanks, I'll check it out.

"Landmines" remains my favorite song by her, but I think it was important for her to explore musically. David Byrne seems to have brought that out in her, and it makes her newer stuff more interesting and unpredictable. But yeah, she will one day do an all-acoustic, woman-and-guitar album that will be great, a la Fiona Apple's latest.

I loved Hozier's album, plus he's Irish. Ed Sheeran's album and Ben Howard's. As for rap, The Waters was dope and so was Chance's shit, if that was 2014.

giving this a listen now, been awhile since I heard anything from C&C. The one thing that bothers me is the Geddy Lee Sounding vocals lol. idk why that vocal range never really sat too well with me cause I hardly listen to vocals

but this is pretty cool right now outside of the 10 minute long tunes haha

^that was dope, thanks for the link. Idk why I just don't dig most rap that has the same beat and just a spoken hook. I think that's why Run the Jewels was so dope for me - every section seemed to be defined with a different chord progression or something that wasn't just a slight texture change

I'm seeing Mehldau's trio friday night too, fucking pumped

I just couldn't haha. Guess it's not for me. I'm content with Mehliana being my one classic album of 2014

This is cool as fuck. Any other recommendations from thriftworks?



also this dude gets an honorable mention on my list for this one synth solo

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCwSqqOdFM0

that shit is hot, dont get why anyone cut out the the opening chords

Cilvia Demo

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCsAbEI9Ma8

Pinata (took a while tho)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98nUZ938oiU


The Water[s]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQP4tw2iMMg

2014 Forest Hills Drive (cole sneaked in quick)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKUkL0ZqKM0

I just saw The Jacka has a very positively received new album that I'm going to check out when I have time.

My favorite album of the year is Tycho - Awake. I know it ain't rap or anything like that, but damn, probably the only album that's been able to calm my energy levels down a bit in 2014.

Full album if anyone's interested in checking it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEI1_oGPQr0
