33. Sleigh Bells - Bitter Rivals
This is the album that made me a Sleigh Bells fan. After listening to this, all their other material clicked. It's possibly because this is their most pop-ish album. Anyways, they do a great job of interpreting angst. Probably the best out there!
Best Tracks: 1. You Don't Get Me Twice, 2. Bitter Rivals, 3. To Hell With You, 4. Young Legends

Bitter Rivals, Ciara, and Dynamics are all good  For Sleigh Bells, the album as a whole isn't one of my favourites but I like a good amount of the songs.
I agree, Ciara's songs in general just scream instant classic.

Ultimately, the golden age of dream pop and shoegaze lasted roughly ten years, a blink in the eye when it comes to pop music. However, for Swim Deep with Where in the Heaven Are We, it’s almost like it never ended.

Wow this album is so ****ing good. If it weren't for all the great music ahead, it would be higher on my list.
Best Tracks: 1. Honey, 2. She Changes The Weather, 3. Soul Trippin, 4. Colour Your Ways

Ciara

Wow, a lot of great stuff so far. Bankrupt!, Optica, In Love, The Bones of What You Believe, Where The Heaven Are We 
Some of them are very low, though.

Ciara & Sleigh Bells' releases are amazing!
Blood Orange is also good but I need to listen to it more.

You gotta understand that I've listened to almost 200 albums this year, though. 
If an album made the top 50, it's pretty damn good. The difference between each position isn't much on my countdown.
In fact, there's only about 75 or so out of the 200 albums I listened to that I enjoyed. The only reason I didn't do a Top 75 list is because that's such an odd number to countdown from.

30. Icona Pop - This Is...
So apparently their previous releases overseas were more warmly welcomed by critics than their international debut but I definitely think this effort was miles better than their european debut. That album fell short in so many ways. The EP was awesome but the album felt like 2 of those put together so it became boring really quickly. This debut is fun, catchy and fresh the whole way through. The only song I don't care for is Girlfriend.
Best Tracks: 1. I Love It, 2. All Night, 3. Then We Kiss, 4. We Got The World
