As for metal, I went through the stereogum best metal album and listened to a few different albums there. Some of the ones I liked:

Inter Arma: Sky Burial
Windhand: Soma
Wolvserpent: Perigaea Antahkarana
Skeletonwitch: Serpents Unleashed

I just came across Windhand the other day and really dug Soma as well. I was about to post it up on here and NewChief beat me to the punch. :)

Reaper,

Did you listen to TesseracT - Altered State?

Pablo 12-23-2013 02:19 PM
The National/Arcade Fire in a Reaper list?

I've seen everything.

Chiefspants 12-23-2013 02:35 PM
I was surprised to see that TesseracT's Altered State and Steven Wilson's The Raven That Refused to Sing were excluded from your top selections. Otherwise, absolutely phenomenal selections as always, Reaper.

(As an aside, after the release of Sunbather, I can not contain my fangirl-like excitement to see Deafhaven in Lawrence this spring.)

Chance the Rapper, Acid Rap

Vampire Weekend
Laura Marling, Once I was an Eagle
I'm the first to admit that Repaer's lists are just occasional reminders of how little new music I listen to anymore, but I came here to post those very two.

MVotC is a fricken' national treasure.

Agreed. I really, really expected VW to take a step back with a third album, but it's become my favorite of theirs by far, and VW has pretty much been the soundtrack to my family's life for the last 5 years. Just this morning, my 8 year old was making his breakfast and singing "Step."

I'll also say that this was either a really good year in electronic music, or it was the year that electronic music began to grow on me. I listened to a LOT of electronic type shit (Burial, Disclosure, Darkside, Oneohtrix Point Never, etc...) this year.

Pablo 12-23-2013 03:42 PM
Deafheaven reminds me of City of Caterpillar.

That's a throw-back and a half to a different time in my life.

Enjoyable listen.

Nicolas Jaar's first full length album was one of my favorites of 2011, but I think this Darkside project might be even better.

Listened to it again today. It's fantastic. Have you listened to the latest Burial EP? Crazy good. Halfway through the third track.... Tears.

I really don't care for Vampire Weekend. They do nothing for me.

I enjoyed it but not as much as some of his previous stuff. I did give it only a single cursory listen though so I'll have to return to it when I get the chance.

It feels like forever ago that this album came out. I haven’t tired of it. “Goldie” is still amazing. “1 Train” still knocks. I even warmed up to the Skrillex-produced “Wild For the Night.” And I can’t forget about the Clams Casino-produced “LVL.” A$AP Rocky will never be confused for a great lyricist. He’s not a great rapper either, but he does just enough with his wordplay and changes his flow up just enough to make everything work. He’s got such charisma. He owns the beats he raps on, and the beats he picks are typically stellar. I may not care about anyone else in the A$AP Mob, but Rocky needs to keep on putting out material. He’s two for two on albums now. Great start to his career.
That's because I sent the album to you this time last year :)

As for Yeezus being #2 let me quote Charlemagne Tha God "yeezus was garbage".

Um, no Earl Sweatshirt?????? Doris was way better than A$AP Rocky's album.
