De beste albums van 2014, volgens de betweters

lost_in_the_dreamNog een laatste keer terugkijken naar 2014. Traditiegetrouw ook een overzichtje van die andere muziekliefhebbers. Wat vond de rest van de wereld van het muzikale jaar 2014? Alle interessante lijstjes (vind ik dan) van muziekbladen uit binnen- en buitenland, blogs en een paar andere lijstjes van interessante lieden op een grote hoop gegooid. Simpelweg omdat je zo nog wat pareltjes kunt ontdekken die je zelf over het hoofd hebt gezien. Simpelweg om eens te kijken wat de algemene consensus is.

En ach, neem het allemaal maar weer met een korrel zout. Jaarlijstjes zijn zo persoonlijk. Zo’n ultieme lijst kun je namelijk ook conservatief noemen; de meeste mensen zijn het over deze albums wel eens, maar het is dan natuurlijk wel het grote grijze gemiddelde. Voor de goede obscure plaatjes die je over het hoofd hebt gezien kun je wellicht beter kijken naar de individuele lijstjes. Het blijft allemaal persoonlijke smaak. Maar als we dan toch bezig zijn kunnen we natuurlijk wel die individuele lijstjes op een grote hoop gooien. En dan zou dit een aardige dwarsdoorsnede kunnen zijn van de smaak van muziekliefhebbers wereldwijd en vlakbij huis. Oftewel: de ultieme betweters-jaarlijst!
