| Top 20 Lp's Of '14 & Their Drink Counterpart
Since listening to records and alcohol are such perfect companions, I give you my top 20 of the year (so far) and their drink counterpart | | 20 |  | Botanist
VI: Flora
There is absolutley nothing like the abstract black metal of Botanist, love it, or hate it, which is why I shoot Malort to this LP | | 19 |  | Cloud Nothings
Here And Nowhere Else
Staying true to punk rock's garage roots while adding their own unique pop nuttiness, has made this a great LP to drink heavy-hand-pour, Midwest-style, brandy Manhattan's.... made with a bottle of un-chilled Vermouth thats been open for a month of course | | 18 |  | The Van Pelt
Imaginary Third
Unleashed from the vaults of 1997 yet this still sounds so ahead of its time, I wonder if the 'kids' will pick up on this band, or if it'll be relegated to my generation, which, is why Pabst is this LP's ideal drink | | 17 |  | Nothing
Guilty Of Everything
This one grew on me with every listen, until, I saw the light and became a huge fan, which makes Fernet Branca the perfect drink of choice | | 16 |  | Saor
Aura
Epic Scottish metal needs an epic scotch like a Macallan to really get one in the whole Braveheart spirit of things | | 15 |  | Hell / Mizmor
Hell / Mizmor
Atmospheric and disquieting doom that's best suited to drinking Gilby's Gin out of a plastic, finger-hole, 1.75 liter bottle alone in your room | | 14 |  | Wreck and Reference
Want
Black metal at its stripped down most visceral core, it's seemingly unapproachable, but, after a few listens, it's a challenging yet extremely rewarding LP....exactly like Laphroaig single malt scotch | | 13 |  | Musk Ox
Woodfall
A brilliantly layered LP that shares the same remote beauty as a Highland Park 12 year from the Orkney Islands | | 12 |  | Lantlos
Melting Sun
Of all the blackened shoegaze bands right now, Lantlos may be the best, and its blurry beauty is perfect with a bottle of expensive cognac and a very very loud stereo | | 11 |  | Thou
Heathen
Kings of sludge return with their best LP yet, and it's perfect with a bottle of moonshine, a 24 pack of beer, a drunken hobo, and a carton of Lucky Strike non-filters | | 10 |  | Mamaleek
He Never Spoke A Mumblin Word
Fissured black metal oddness that goes well with a mixture of every liquor you have in your cabinet combined, shaken and then lit on fire | | 9 |  | Perfect Pussy
Say Yes To Love
So catchy in such a noisy way, really a good LP to have 8 poorly made martinis in 2 hours and hope for the best | | 8 |  | Panopticon
Roads To The North
Kentucky black metal only goes with Kentucky bourbon at its strongest, which means a Booker's neat | | 7 |  | Planning For Burial
Desideratum
A hazy, narcotic LP that is a boon companion to Absinthe and a splash of Maker's Mark bourbon | | 6 |  | Thantifaxath
Sacred White Noise
Harsh stabbing black metal with great austere production that goes wonderful with a '3 fingers' pour of Canadian Club and a 'water' back in a scary dive bar in northern Canada | | 5 |  | Xiu Xiu
Angel Guts: Red Classroom
Just insanely unhinging and goes great with a cocktail made with vodka, lime, a splash of triple sec, and, of course, tears | | 4 |  | Black Monolith
Passenger
A unique blackened doom LP with just the right touches of hardcore to flesh it out, and, it's perfect with a bottle of Old Grand Dad 100 proof bottled in bond...and no glass | | 3 |  | Sun Kil Moon
Benji
I never thought he'd top, 'Ghosts Of The Great Highway,'...I was wrong, and it sits so nicely with a lingering hangover and a strong bloody Maria | | 2 |  | What Moon Things
What Moon Things
Best post-punk LP in years, and pairs wonderfully with shit-liquor-store red wine (with a poor facsmilie of Marilyn Monroe on the label) drank on a city fire escape | | 1 |  | Have A Nice Life
The Unnatural World
This LP is an amazing mix of bitter truths and melancholy hazy, crunching songwriting that is the perfect companion to a strong rye-whiskey Sazerac made after last-call, by your favorite bartender, in your favorite neighborhood bar. | |

10.05.14 | Thanks all....I'm from Minneapolis, so, not Chicago, but close enough to get the whole Malort spillover from Chicago into our local bar scene. An acquired taste for sure, but, oddly tasty! | Somie
