Young Fathers - Dead 5. Fucked Up - Glass Boys 6. Vince Staples - Hell Can Wait (EP) 7. GRMLN - Soon Away 8. At The Gates - At War With Reality 9. Life Without Buildings - Any Other City 10.

gougetheeyes Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Why am I so lazy when it comes to music?! Not sure if this is from this year but I've been listening to the Iron Chic album The Constant One a lot lately.

CultExciter Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 @gougetheeyes I totally dig the Iron Chic record! That spirit of the truth sample on track 4 kills me.

MGblues Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 #1 AC/DC Rock or Bust My number one only because It's the only album I've bought all year. (no new Social D album this year) bongsau and JAllen 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/5796-favorite-albums-of-2014-year-end-list/#findComment-106203 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I spend all my money on tattoos, got none left over for music. The only album I bought this year was the new SWANS but honestly I haven't even listened to it yet because they're a band that requires undivided attention for extended periods of time and I haven't managed that yet. I'm lame.

Dennis Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 The two that I've listened to most would be: Evergrey - Hymns for the Broken Devin Townsend - Sky Blue/Dark Matters Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/5796-favorite-albums-of-2014-year-end-list/#findComment-106206 Share on other sites More sharing options...
suburbanxcore Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 That Iron Chic record is dope, but was last year. I thought it was this year too and originally had it on my list. I'm still kinda narrowing down. I have about seven set so far, but about ten others in contention for the last three spots! Haha.

OutOfIdeas Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 This Means War - The Old Firm Casuals Hard to pick one because my favorites change almost daily, but this band is one that I'm really digging and this, their newest album, it's pretty awesome. Frontman is Lars Frederiksen who used to be/is the guitarist and backup vocalist for Rancid. Funnily enough I read somewhere the other day that Lars actually worked at 222 tattoo as a shop helper while Rancid was taking a break from touring at one point. I thought it was a cool connection between a rad shop and rad musician red77 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/5796-favorite-albums-of-2014-year-end-list/#findComment-106210 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graeme Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Dude, you ain't kidding! Also taking up oil painting as a hobby. Those paints are expensive! @kylegrey reminded me that I've heard the YOB and Electric Wizard albums too. I really like the new YOB, the Electric Wizard album is solid, not their best, but still good.

9Years Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 YOB Clearing the path to ascend Seconded. Haven't heard the new E-wiz yet (well, we listened to it at a recent tattoo session but it's a big torso tattoo, so I didn't really 'listen' to it, know what I mean?) Here's one: BUDOS BAND: burnt offering I am in the same boat as @Graeme .... Funds diverted elsewhere. My record collection is not expanding at the rate it once did.

CultExciter Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 The Electric Wizard album is good. It's solid, but there is something abrasive about it, that doesn't appeal to me the same way that Black Masses, Dopethrone, etc did. Like. the fuzz sounds like a chainsaw, but lacks some of the heaviness I love about them.

sophistre Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I'm pretty excited to check out the stuff I don't recognize in this thread. I'm also pretty sure, based on what's in this thread already, that nobody on the forum is going to dig the stuff I contribute, lol. Oh well. The perils of having a really broad musical palate. The , earwormed the hell out of me this fall. On first listen I wouldn't have expected that at all. Downtempo trip-hoppy goodness. Two Weeks and Lights On were stuck in my head for weeks.TV On the Radio, Seeds. I think two of their earlier albums, Dear Science and Nine Types of Light, are two of my favorite albums these days, full stop. I feel like everything these guys do is made of gold. Pelican released Arktika this year (instrumental metal/postrock/etc. is the sorta niche end of the metal pool I usually hang out in). It's a Russian live show album. Has some older stuff on it, but I like it. Because Mogwai.The Black Keys, Turn Blue. Because The Black Keys. This probably shouldn't count because it's a compilation and not a new album, but, , the soundtrack for Guardians of the Galaxy, is fucking great. Judge me! I don't care! I chair-dance to this while I'm working!There's a bunch of other stuff I wouldn't mind mentioning, but I dunno if I'd call it 'favorite.' Aphex Twin released an album this year after 13 years, Syro. Jurassic 5 got back together again. Sia's 1000 Forms of Fear, maybe? The Jezabels' album The Brink? (I discovered them when was going around. You should check it out if you haven't. That kid is an animal.) Or Broods, Evergreen? Heck, MC Frontalot (of internet fame, for fans of...um, Zork) put out an album this year too, for especially nerdy nerds like me. It is called Question Bedtime. abees 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/5796-favorite-albums-of-2014-year-end-list/#findComment-106286 Share on other sites More sharing options...
