| 2014 Albums That Just, No
My least favourite albums this year. Whoop. | 10 | | Pianos Become The Teeth Keep You
I don't want to be too hard on this, because I actually enjoy a good chunk of the
instrumentation on this, but overall, for me at least, this album was just too
sluggish for me. Also, his voice. No. I can't. With these lyrics I get nightmares from
this. | 9 | | The Antlers Familiars
Sad, sad music for sad, sad peeps. Normally this would be the part where I say
that the compositions would be good, but to me, this just seems like a really lazy
try to sound as nostalgic as possible. Next. | 8 | | Shabazz Palaces Lese Majesty
I have a weird relationship with Ishmael Butler. I was never that big of a fan of his,
especially during his Digable Planets time. But when Black Up came out, I was really
awstruck. An amazing album front to back, so my hopes for this were ridiculously
high. But nope, this was just incredibly unfocused, scatterbrained and even more
cryptic than the last one. And this wouldn't be a problem to me if I felt like I would
be gaining anything from looking into the lyrics. Which did not happen here. Sad. | 7 | | Todd Terje It's Album Time
Let me make it clear. I hate forced nostalgia. Extremely. Especially in music. I
mean, if you can make nostalgic music by updating an old sound with newer
methods, I will most likely jam to it, but if you give me an album that sounds
exactly like a disco-album from the seventies with better production values and
electronic tweaks, I will just glare at you in disbelief. | 6 | | Chevelle La Gargola
People still care about Chevelle? No, let me start again. You know, I like Chevelle.
Until This Type Of Thinking, they were one of my favourite bands. But ever since
Vena Sera came out, I just wasn't feeling most of their music anymore. This album
is no different. Also, I don't find their songwriting on this particularly impressive.
Sorry. | 5 | | The Hotelier Home, Like NoPlace Is There
Basically the same as number 10, but I dislike the instrumentation on here more,
because it all just sounds so stale to me. Also, these lyrics. I don't get it. I heard
much better work from any given bedroom-artist on Bandcamp this year | 4 | | Eminem Shady XV
Shut up Marshall. Shut up. I don't have the power to put up with your bullshit any
more. Start writing interesting lyrics again, or at least have some actually good
punchlines. Or deflate your ego a bit. Either way is fine. But if this stays on this
level, shut up. | 3 | | Buckethead Our Selves
This stands as a representative of most albums Buckethead put out this year. Take
a break, man. Take your time. Compose something again. Think about what you
play. Stop ripping off your fans so much. Thank you. | 2 | | OG Maco Give Em Hell
Read my review. | 1 | | YG My Krazy Life
I wanted to give this segment here the special rage treatment. But it is not worth
it. Let me try it another way. Mustard, stop producing these lazy beats that all
sound the same, or start using better synths than overblown bass and squealing
pads that make me feel like I'm shoveling cheap gummybears in my mouth. I can't
cope with this any more. And YG. You are not a good lyricist. I don't know who told
you this. You are reciting the same old shit, with even more crappy lines than Maco
and Sean combined, and try to sell this to us as something brand new. Shut your
mouth and stop writing lyrics, just stop it. And to most of you celebrating this
album, why? What can you find on this album that hasn't been done better million
times before? I'm done with this. | |

12.18.14 | @SnakeDelilah: Wow, it's almost as if, like, opinions exist. Huh. What a weird concept. | Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.18.14 | you could not be more wrong about everything about shabazz considering ishmael was a legend in digable, then black ups wasnt very good, and this no one is incredible...
THAT BEING SAID
huge props on 1 considering that is literally one of the worst 'hip-hop' albums ive ever heard | Hurricanslash
12.18.14 | Yeah, see, I got into DP because of Ladybug Mecca and not because of him, so he always played a siderole in my opinions. And about Shabazz, lets agree to disagree. | Snowdog808
12.21.14 | Yes-Heaven and Earth would fit right in. | Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.21.14 | "And about Shabazz, lets agree to disagree."
