12.27.14 10 Best Albums Of 2014

10 Best Albums Of 2014

What I came across this year. Not confined to a single genre.
10Prince
Art Official Age


It was good to see Prince releasing new stuff again, with the trademark pop/funk sound, but wasn't that special to me, like Gold Experience, 3121 or Come. Sounded more like Around The World In A Day to me.
9Electric Six
Human Zoo


This one got me by surprise actually. Was a step up from Mustang, would put it closer to Zodiac and I Shall Exterminate Everything Around Me That Restricts Me From Being The Master. Quite short.
8ATB
Contact


Another nice trance album, divided between CD1 - club mix and what hit the sweet spot for me: the chillout CD2.
7Accept
Blind Rage


I enjoyed Blood Of The Nations a lot, and things are looking up here. Of course, we don't have the "new lineup and return from hiatus" factor here. Despite that, the album delivers some great tracks, like "Stampede". This album got to #1 in the German charts, which is amazing.
6 Deadmau5
While (1 < 2)


I'm really enjoying this new direction he's taking. Something tells me we will have some great stuff coming out in the future. This one sounded to me like Get Scraped, but what you get here is a strong dose of Nine Inch Nails. My favorite track: "Seeya".
5Powerman 5000
Builders Of The Future


Another release that got me by surprise. At first, it sounded like it took off from the great Somewhere Outside Of Nowhere, but there are subtle differences here. "You're Gonna Love It If You Like Or Not" reminds me of Gagnam Style. Another good one is "How To Be A Human".
4Basement Jaxx
Junto


Great summer jam. My favorites here are "Mermaid Of Salinas", "What's The News", "Never Say Never" and "Love Is At Your Side". The only downside here is "Buffalo".
3 Paul Oakenfold
Trance Mission


I got into trance this year, and this guy showed some great tracks in previous albums, but for this one, I only have to say this: "Touch Me".
2 
No Mythologies To Follow


I loved that girl-pop atmosphere around the whole thing. Favorite tracks: "Maiden", "Pilgrim", "Fire Rides", "Slow Love".
1The Crystal Method
The Crystal Method


I kept listening to this one front to back during the whole year! At first, I wasn't very happy with the dubstep direction in "Over It", but the rest of the album kicks some major ass! What really surprised me was "Grace". Other great tracks include "Storm The Castle", "Emulator" and "Jupiter Shift".
