War on Drugs is going to win the crap out of next month.
Gonna be pretty hard to beat that one out.
to which I will say, Pharrell Williams would like a word!
Also, Cloud Nothings and The Men are both releasing new ones. As stacked as February seems, Pharrell likely would have taken it if G.I.R.L was released a month earlier. In my opinion of course .
2. Angel Olsen - Burn your fire for no witness. 3. St Vincent - St Vincent 3. Bombay Bicycle Club - So Long, See you Tomorrow. 4. Neneh Cherry - Blank Project 5. Broken Bells - After the Disco 6. Beck / Morning Phase
Favourite song from any album released this month. ScHoolboy Q - Collard Greens.
It's a foot tapper!
Edit- s should mention that I thoroughly enjoyed each album listed. There wasn't really anything I disliked from this month.

If Benji came out in my suicidal/there is no hope era of my life, I would have definitely voted for it. Way too fucking desperate and morose for me. It is an album that is emotionally specific. It leans more towards a specific base for me to give it an AOTM nod. The more I think about it though, aren't all these votes linked to the specific emotional/thought form that we are experiencing at the given moment and not the actual album itself? This is a reason I don't read album reviews. People take their thoughts and emotions into too much consideration and put the artists whole reason for creating the art in the first place on the back-burner. My votes are completely placed on the premise of what I am feeling at the moment and moments past the album release leading up to the vote.

Interestingly, it's sort of the opposite for me. This kind of album is something I can enjoy more now than I could ever even have conceived enjoying/relating to when I was depressed. For me, listening to an album like Benji would be unconscionable while depressed because it would strike me to the quick.
Now, I can at least listen to it and appreciate it for what it is, though I'm not a big fan of Kozelek to begin with.

I liked the album and appreciated it. I only used this album to convey a point on the emotional side of album rating. It is not a negative thing. I completely vote on how an album touches me specifically. I just think that isn't a good model for picking an AOTM. I personally think Behemoth's 'The Satanist' is the most complete album released this month, but to even touch on that it would take much longer than a month to express that. Doing that would only try to reinforce what I find appeasing to the ear and downplay another persons vote. In the end ratings are only the expression of one persons opinion. But this is only my opinion and shouldn't carry weight................................I completely over-think everything and go off on tangents quite regularly. Back to the thread now. P.S I'm quite intoxicated.

Hey now, i like Pharrell as much as the next guy (NERD, neptunes beats, Clipse, those 2 Daft Punk shits) but that new album of his comes nowhere close to the new war on drugs.

i have yet to hear that one. I just know after Sun Kil Moon, Pharrell is exactly what I needed. Besides that, it's pretty fucking good too. I may eat my words, I may not, time will tell
Sun Kil Moon - Benji (10) (thomwaits, G, monster, chicojuarz, ChillVibes, FortSteuben, Michicant, baconus66, Mr. McGregg, Boner) St. Vincent - St. Vincent (7) (chicken4, rustyautoparts, ellabelle, sangvincent, jakicker, Tongus, disco2000) Angel Olsen - Burn Your Fire For No Witness (3) (Garageland, smoothaseggs, snowmanpj) Beck - Morning Phase (2) (nodepression, dreamerdave) Broken Bells - After The Disco (1) (Rob Ford) Temples - Sun Structures (1) (Jones Jupiter) New Madrid - Sunswimmer (1) (funkybuttlovin) Noah Gundersen - Ledges (1) (rhodesrs) Woods of Desolation - As The Stars (1) (Dave Maynar) Bombay Bicycle Club - So Long See You Tomorrow (1) (Druid) Tinariwen - Emmar (1) (bansheebeat) Neneh Cherry - Blank Project (1) (ncbst3) John Butler Trio - Flesh & Blood (1) (El-D)
I actually gave up on being critical about music a long time ago. I basically load everything in my wife's IPod and let her choose. I keep track of what she listens to most. She's way smarter about this stuff than I am.
She got both War On Drugs and G I R L on the same day. Pharrell has over 15 listens to the entire album.

Wow, this is going to be one of my favorite threads. Joined last night at 3 am since I couldn't sleep, but I could think of laying out my campsite for this year! My friends always do a year in review album, so this thread is going to give me quite an extensive catalog to set up my 2014 list. I'll be back soon to list where my favorite album of the month goes. Looking forward to this.
I vote purely on what I'm personally digging the most. I think it makes it much more fun and the results are more interesting. Benji was the perfect record for my situation right now. I am working out of town in Indianapolis, near Ohio. I've never been to this part of the country prior to this. And I here I am, up here for months, thinking about family and friends, and traveling around here and there, much like on Benji. That record and my temporary life in Indiana will forever be linked together.
