 Topic: Top 5/10 albums of 2014Posted: 05 Jan 2015 at 5:31pm |

So I thought I'd make a topic of everyone's top five or ten metal albums of the year.
 Mine would be: 5. Myrkur - Myrkur 4. Chevelle - La Gargola 3. Arch Enemy - War Eternal 2. Obake - Mutations 1. Helstar - This Wicked Nest

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

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.

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.

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.

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)
