Considering how excited I was about the quality of records released during 2013, I have to say that overall I have felt a bit underwhelmed by the releases I've heard thus far in 2014. BUT, if I had to pick the ten that have given me something, then these would be them. The top 3 are indeed the three records I've enjoyed most, the other 7 are in no particular order. 1. The Hold Steady – Teeth Dreams . 2. St Vincent – St Vincent. 3. The Pretty Reckless – Going to Hell. 4. Pixies – Indie Cindie. 5. The Both – The Both. 6. Kelis - Food. 7. The Amazing Snakeheads – Amphetamine Ballads . 8. I Break Horses – Chiaroscuro . 9. Baby Metal - Baby Metal. 10. Lana Del Rey - Ultraviolence.
