This year, I'm going to expand my work with the puzzle of anticipating P4k's albums list. I've put together, having seen the 'Honorable Mentions' only, my top 50 anticipated albums for inclusion on the list. They are ranked in order, though it's worth noting that it's fairly ridiculous for me to do this and expect any amount of accuracy. Anyhow. Based on BNM status, album score, and Pitchfork's coverage of the artist in 2014, here are my anticipated P4k top 50:
15 that are not quite making the cut:
