There is nothing that I can say about this album that would do it justice. I have had it for about 2 weeks and listened to it all the way through no fewer than 20 times. I love it. I know every year I anticipate high pitchfork scores for albums I really like, and every year, those albums get between a 6 and a 7.3, but this year feels different. I think this could be an album of the year candidate. I'm talking 9.5-9.8 stuff. In reality, Kanye didn't produce this album, so I'm probably just getting my hopes up.

CRUISE YOUR ILLUSION

I missed this one in 2013 but, thankfully, the gentlefolk at Succulent Teeth didn't. Released back in March on Fat Possum Records (Youth Lagoon, El-P, UMO) this most certainly would have been on the top 50. Yet another reason why all 'best of' album lists are arbitrary and self-indulgent. One of my best character traits!
