I am pretty forgetful these days
 - I forgot about Opeth and their last one was quite good.And also The Watch - Tracks from the Alps was great although this band is just a Genesis pastiche. Edited by LittleBig - 01 Feb 2015 at 5:55am |

I did offer yeah but I can't promise anything timely. Actually Jonas I was going to pitch an alternate idea for this year considering the collab ranks are not that high. Check the AZ in a while.

Only if someone signs up to do the visual part of the presentation. Adam has offered that he would do the statistics (correct me if I´m wrong Adam), but he hasn´t got time to do the presentation, which means finding album cover artwork in a good quality, and finding a positive MMA review of each of the releases in the top albums chart.
Here´s how it looked last year: http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9658&title=mma-collaborators-top-albums-of-2013

Top 5/10? I don't really know, but I think that one of the best albums of 2014 was Conquering Dystopia - Conquering Dystopia (2014)

my top 5 for 2014
1. Nightingale - Retribution 2. Soen - Tellurian 3. Enchant - The Great Divide 4. Threshold - For the Journey 5. Helstar - This Wicked Nest honorable mentions (I'll just list the bands that released albums last year) - Distorted Harmony, Anubis Gate, Eldritch, Vanden Plas, Freak Kitchen, Mothership, Tankard, Steve Rothery. I'll be back if I forgot someone And as a non-metal, non-prog release, Simple Minds' last album simply entitled Big Music is currently a personal favorite.

I didn't buy all that many 2014 albums (somewhere between 20-30) and I thought overall it was a disappointing year.
1. Within Temptation - Hydra 2. Teramaze - Esoteric Symbolism 3. Threshold - For The Journey 4. Eluveitie - Origins 5. Vanden Plas - Chronicles Of The Immortals, vol.1 heh, none of my top-5 even made UMUR's list. 2015 should be a much better year.

If you want, as far as non-metal goes my favorite 2014 album has to be deadmau5's 'While (1<2)'. A true masterpiece of electronic music, probably the best electronic album I've heard actually.

Do they have to be just metal, because I have a few albums that are non-metal.
Also, La Gargola = My top 2014 pick.  |
