Which is your favourite DiS Users Album Of The Month of 2014?
Perhaps a blood from a stone thread from the monthly vote but which is your favourite from those that you've heard?
I won't be counting these up. Just a bit of fun if you can be bothered.

From those I've heard my top 5:
1. The War On Drugs - Lost In Dream
2. Joyce Manor - Never Hungover Again
3. EMA - The Future's Void
4. Sharon Van Etten - Are We There
5. Sun Kil Moon - Benji
The War On Drugs versus Sun Kil Moon again
Yay!
Luke Abbott or Andy Stott
the only other album in that list I have heard is The Antlers, and that was their weakest album so far, so not that.
I should listen to The Hum I suppose, since their last album had potential.
The War On Drugs, The Antlers, Hookworms.
I've not heard half of these
But Benji would be my pick
Then the Twilight Sad
the War on drugs
Andy Stott.
Also listened to EMA, but I didn't really care for it
Only
Sharon Van Etten & Aphex Twin for me.
Can appreciate why the others have been acclaimed but just not up my street really. I think Hookworms and EMA will be the only albums on this list I'll give some more time.
Benji
Closely followed by Syro
Twilight Sad for me
Followed by Sharon Van Etten
joyce manor!
then sun kil moon
then twigs
don't like the rest of them
Aphex + FKA tie
found both SVE and EMA to be a little underwhelming, ditto East India Strife.
Joyce Manor all the way
Andy stott for me
Not my album of the year though. Speaking of which, are we doing a users' poll this year? I don't mind organising it if nobody has volunteered already...
EMA & Aphex Twin
Joyce Manor & Aphex Twin
Aphex Twin, War on Drugs and Twilight Sad.
