Why it deserves this honor-
Odd Blood may have come out in early February, but it has stood the test of time like no other album this year. I continue to enjoy it to this day for it's unique synthesis of retro and futuristic sound effects. The fusion of the mesmerizing elements of psychedelic rock and the infectious beats of eighties dance music makes it one of the most addictive albums I've ever come across. There are soulful ballads and inspirational songs that can provide motivation during exercise or relaxation after a long day. There are a few filler songs, but they aren't terrible. They just don't compare well to the songs I like. Their first album called All Hour Cymbals (2007) was just as good, maybe even a little better. This artistic band from Brooklyn deserves recognition for their efforts. I'm looking forward to their next album, but will continue to enjoy what they've already released.
