#804 - I Love You Honeybear - Father John Misty
I once heard this album described as being the kind that either moves you or annoys the shit out of you and guess which side this one fell on folks.

#803 - Graduation - Kanye West
Kanye's first attempt at combining rap vocals with stadium rock aesthetic and ambition. Probably the beginning of his narcissism as we know it as well, and an album I can't really tolerate both because of that and knowing he'd get what he was trying to do here right much more two albums later.

Title is accurate, at least.

#801 - Forms of Paper - Steve Roden
I get what he's doing, I really do. But it just didn't work for me.

#800 - Funeral - Arcade Fire
Despite having been one of my biggest musical betrayals, starting with their fifth album and culminating in the revelation of Win Butler being a giant creep...this still holds up. One of the defining indie rock albums, a work that, had Butler's vocals been more confident, would have gotten a perfect score. As it stands, Pitchfork had it right.

#799 - Espers II - Espers
Liked this one a little more than their first crack, but still not enough to keep.

#795 - Daddy's Home - St Vincent
Annie Clark has spent a career running away from her early work. Sometimes it works. This time, it didn't. Too glib without commitment, too jokey without being funny, and no secret core of feeling like she usually does. An ambitious failure.

#794 - Goths - The Mountain Goats
John Darnielle is a genius, but his lyric abilities make this a better short story collection than an album, per se. It's never a great sign when I want to read the lyric sheet more than listen to the album. Although I was surprised that he's got an ear for ambient.

#793 - Goon - Tobias Jesso Jr
He's never put out an album after this (choosing to make that sweet sweet Adele money), and i have to admit, I'm not terribly sad about that. He's a good songwriter, but he's missing a certain thing that would make him a distinct persona.

#792 - God's Favorite Customer - Father John Misty
You can ignore me on this guy, as I've said before. I've just never bought his schtick.

#791 - Fluid Rustle - Eberhard Weber
As quiet as a whisper, and sadly, just as forgettable in some ways.

#790 - The Grime and the Glow - Chelsea Wolfe
Her debut, which she would soon surpass in both songwriting and vibes. More for completionists than anything.

#789 - Heart of the Congos - Congos
This is a good album, I just am really bad with reggae for some reason. Not for me.

#788 - Friends that Break Your Heart - James Blake
James continues to frustrate me, because his gifts aren't suited to what kind of music he wants to make. Stop being poppy and dub-influenced, dude. Get WEIRD.
