username Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 It's that time of year kids! Best albums that came out in 2014! I know we're a bit early, but that's ok. I won't include compilations and live albums. For me: - Pink Floyd - The Endless River - Eric Clapton & Friends - The Breeze: An Appreciation Of JJ Cale - Leonard Cohen - Popular Problems - Slash - World On Fire - Bob Dylan - The Bootleg Series Vol 11: The Basement Tapes Complete - Bruce Springsteen - High Hopes Still have to listen to Rock Or Bust by AC/DC. Really, for me, not that much came out this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axlslash Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 High Hopes (Bruce Springsteen) - not his best outtake collection by a long shot, but it's great. We finally got American Skin (an apropos song for this week) and the electric Tom Joad in studio form, as well as a handful of other great tunes (and some less great ones). Even when you can tell exactly why Bruce left a song off the record, it's always great to get a peek behind the Boss's curtain.Modern Vintage (Sixx:AM) - my favorite of the three AM releases. I absolutely love the way they blend different influences, borrowing from and then building on old tunes. Dj quotes some of his work in GNR at points, great solos by other bands elsewhere (Barracuda in the Give Me A Love solo for example). James' voice sounds great, and the interplay between James' and Dj's melodies is as great as ever. Solid energy, great vibe, love it up and downRun The Jewels 2 (Run The Jewels) - best rap group in the game today. Close Your Eyes would be a track of the year candidate for me no matter what, but add in Zac? Perfection. Love everything those guys have done so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEXzilla Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I haven't heard a ton of albums but U2's latest was really good. Also Billy Idol's new album is surprisingly good, a good 3-4 good songs and that's imo good enough for a guy who hasn't made a decent song in a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppelin Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Yeah, I forgot about that new Billy Idol album. I was surprised at how good it was, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I'll probably be getting Shakey's and AC/DC's latest for Christmas. Thus far I have listened to The Floyd (I was not tremendously impressed) and Slash's (decent in an averagey, Slash solo album, way). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandallFlagg Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 burzum- the ways of yoremastodon- one more round the sunopeth- pale communionI thought Opeth definitely perfected the Heritage direction, there was more cohesion in the songs and it retained a lot of the older songs bite and sharpness with little superfluous meanders, even though I dig 75% of Heritage, I just feel Mike's pushes his growls and metal so fucking far, he's earned some prog chill, it's brilliant stuff too so there's no 'I'll settle for this instead' feeling with me.Once More Round The Sun I am still digesting, it's crazy, it's weird, these are two good things as always with that band. It sounds little like anything that came before, which again, it's a positive vibe.I haven't heard that new Burzum record, my fave by Varg is Det Som Engang Var (if I remember the name right) and Filosofem, is this worth checking out?

Anguyen92 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 (edited) 1. Sevendust's Time Travelers and Bonfires2. Big Wreck's GhostsTied for 3rd (I can't seem to favor one of them over the other, dang it). Slash Featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators' World on Fire and Foo Fighters' Sonic Highways5. California Breed's Self-TitledPretty good year for me. I listened to 27 new albums this year. Most of them were good/great/excellent, some were dull, and some were really weird like the Nickelback album.
