You have a shitty taste

Yeah, pretty shitty indeed.

So far I have given six 9's: Ophis, Doom:VS, Spectral Lore, Nasheim, Hail Spirit Noir and Fungoid Stream. None of those are on this list.

I only like 5 albums on this list: DarkSpace, Emptiness, Infestus, Mayhem and Morbus Chron. Haven't heard most of these though..

Doom:VS,

that piece of mediocrity shouldn't be on any best of 2014 list.

Maybe a list of most boring albums released this year

Ophis is probably going to appear on this list as I only need final confirmation for that album. Great release indeed.
I don't like albums of Spectral Lore, Doom:VS and Hail Spirit Noir and haven't actually checked Fungoid Stream. Neshiem could be much better if it didn't have problem with mix (or production, or both. I'm not sure about the technical term).
About albums from this list which you haven't heard, well I don't think you'd lije them, except for Morphous Tales mabe.

Good to hear at least Ophis will be on this list. I'm especially surprised you dislike Spectral Lore, Hail Spirit Noir and Nasheim. As I told you before, it's nigh impossible (for me, at least) to predict what you will like and what you won't like.

On the contrary, I think my taste is pretty predictable. I'm surprised that you are surprised about my opinion on those albums as I had stated then in album threads already I think.

Well, to me your taste is unpredictable.

Alright then, what is your opinion on Clouds - Doliu? I would expect you to dislike it... let's see if I'm correct or not.

Haven't heard that yet. Stay tuned for my opinion.

One of the better lists I've seen this year. Not too long and with some albums I don't know yet.

Thank you. Hopefully you'd like those ones you don't know yet if you ever checked then

Glad to see another list with some Nibiru on it. That shit's awesome.

You say this year's been great for black metal, but where's...

1. The Great Old Ones
2. Spectral Lore
3. Chaos Moon
4. Mare Cognitum
5. Ordinance
6. Cloak Of Altering

Also, no Bolzer or Earth?

Thank you. I actually think I checked them after seeing them on your list. Thanks for that, too.

This list is restricted to those albums that I love the most. I liked TGOO, but not as much as the others it seems. Moreover, I don't enjoy Chaos Moon and Mare Cognitum tbh. Haven't heard Oridinance and Earth yet, but I'm having high hopes, especially for Earth.
I might eventually include Bolzer and CoA, but the problem with these bands is that their 2013 record was better. Just give me time to revisit all stuff I loved this year.

COA I can agree with you on, as the NONE EP is personally my favorite of the project yet and one of the best Mories releases period. Soma > Aura with Bolzer though

The lack of Mannveira makes me sad panda, as it's my fave BM release of 2014 (so far, until the new Arizmenda appears).

I love that record, not my favorite BM record but definitely up there. I didn't initially include it because it is a little short, but then again I have shorter records on this list.
Will add that one, too. Thanks.

Hmm, a fair slip up, I would say, as I've gotten so used to our disagreements

With mz and Marcel on Bolzer as well. I haven't revisited the new EP anywhere near as much as I expected to. I think it's because the second track is probably Bolzer's weakest song to date, and I heard the first song far too often from advanced streams by the time it came out.

Probably the same reasons for me as well. Plus I find Aura way more memorable.

Added Serpents Lair instead of Mannveira. Sorry Pzdzch

Good. They are both similar but SL outdid your most favorite BM record of the year in every aspect =p
