If you make a quick comparison between 2014 and the previous years Top 20 Album lists, you would notice that the top album of 2014, have the lowest rating average compared to 2013,2012, 2011 and 2010. No single album so far, have an average above 8.5. This sucks. Here is a list that has some albums that I think are the best of this crappy year (so far).
