Speak Now is a well-earned tiara atop of Taylor Swift’s blonde tresses, an album that deserves to sell zillions of records. As it no doubt will.

It’s a yoga teacher’s wet dream, a brimming haven of samples and loops for any DJ, and it makes the perfect record to write to, read to, meditate or even crochet to.

Crystal Castles show a lot of growth on this album; there’s less distortion and more fluid, coherent melodies.

Tame Impala succeeded in arriving to the world with a fully-fledged sound and a concise and enjoyable debut album. Innerspeaker is a record full of warm sounds and it rarely gets boring.

This album is like nothing you’ve ever heard before and simultaneously like everything you’ve ever heard before.

It’s a remarkably polished and perfected track for a band’s debut album, and only one of many on Gorilla Manor, an incredible first step for what is sure to be an incredible band.

The Age of Adz is a distinct change in style, but it is not, I would guess, a one-off experiment.

Perhaps with Sound of Silver, LCD Soundsystem has set the bar too high for itself. But with the many standouts on the album and the bliss they provide on their own, it’s not too hard to think that Murphy could have topped himself once again with a little less jamming and ranting.

It is, without a doubt, Beach House’s best work, and deserves to be recognized as such.

The Suburbs is perhaps the most coherent schizophrenic you will ever meet, for though the guidance offered in its songs may be contradictory, the subject matter is never under discussion.

This album is a benchmark, a high water point for mainstream conceptual rap. It’s Kanye’s most complex and complete release and one of the most consistently impressive hip hop albums in recent years.

Everyone keeps saying that this is a sad album. It’s not. It’s an honest album, a real album. And it’s breathtaking.
