Biggest Grower: The National "High Violet" : Took me a while to realise how incredible this album is. Second place would have to go to "Thank Me later" by Drake. I still don't think the album is great, but I was suprised how much I found myself listening to the first half.
Overall I heard a lot of good albums, and I'm ready to do this again. Maybe not with 25 albums this time.
