Best Rock Album of 2014


Alright rock fans, let's get our annual thread started.

I'm really digging:

Real Estate "Atlas"
War on Drugs "Lost in the Dream"

a couple I've enjoyed this year:
swans, to be kind; angel olson, burn no fire; real estate, atlas; fresh and onlys, house of spirits. also just heard ryan adams' punk ep, 1984, which i'm digging--sounds exactly like classic 80's sst buzzsaw rawk (husker du,dinosaur, etc.)
Alright, I'm going to make the leap, (not really). I've done a marathon listening session and I am confident on this...
The Beatles Mono Box Set
Check out Rowland S. Howard's Pop Crimes. A bit dark, at times, but infectious.
Need a folkpop Altoid after all the dark and heavy grooves?
Thao and the Get Down Stay Down "We the Common".
