Album Rankings for 2014

Whilst a lot of you will look at 2014 as a miserable year, mine was pretty damn special.

After several months without internet access, I finally was reconnected, I bought a PS4 and a Wii U, thus cementing myself to another generation of Sony and Nintendo's new fangled machines...and I got married, hence the massive drop in content on the blog.

But I still fount time to listen to a few albums, all of which are ranked in numeric form here.

Like last year, I had two albums ranked at nine, although narrowly pipping Aphex Twin's Syro is Wild Beasts incredible fourth album Present Tense, it set the bar very high at the start of the year and only a handful even came close to topping it.

Enjoy going through the list and have a happy and healthy start to 2015!
