AllMusic Top 50 Albums of 2014

The complete beauty of music: without genres, borders, barriers. Ok, maybe I'm overplaying it, but that's what I'm feeling listening to these playlists, based on All Music Year in Review. Venerable music site compiled twenty single charts (favorite rap albums, electronic, folk, jazz, metal, reissues, etc.). This list is a non-ranked summary of them, collecting artists as varied as Aphex Twin and Cloud Nothings, Aaron Freeman and Moreno Veloso, Gustav Mahler and Richard Strauss.

Enjoy!
