Every year, hundreds of albums are written and released for people to buy and hopefully not steal. I spend most of my free time searching far and wide for new music, most of which only very few people know about. This list will contain all the albums released this year that I listened to, and what I thought of it. The rating system is as follows:
Based = Awesome, Perfect
Chill = Solid, Substantial
Dope = Good-not-great, Something I'll only listen to if I'm bored
Retarded = Mediocre, Unremarkable
Mindfucked = Complete waste of time
Also, there will be albums that aren't metal that will appear here, just cause.

1.1349 - Massive Cauldron Of Chaos

2.Abigor - Leytmotif Luzifer - The 7 Temptations Of Man

3.Aborted - The Necrotic Manifesto

4.Aenaon - Extance

5.Agalloch - The Serpent & The Sphere

This is my personal list based on the albums i've enjoyed listening to the most this year, consider it a best to worst based on all the albums i've checked out from 2014. Bear in mind i'm a power metal fan for the most part - also this list does not reflect the views of others on MS, but some of the albums here are pretty decent and you should check some of them out.!!!!

1.Galneryus - Vetelgyus

2.Equilibrium - Erdentempel

3.Arch Enemy - War Eternal

4.The Algorithm - OCTOPUS4

5.Ancient Bards - A New Dawn Ending

2.Ne Obliviscaris - Citadel

3.Major Parkinson - Twilight Cinema

Just an organized list of my favorite albums of the year, in order of most liked, onward.

How I rate albums has little to do with the order of this list. Obviously, I'm not going to give an album a low rating and include it (anything I rate below an "8" gets left out), but there's a sense of semblance, regardless. Also, just because I give a rating of 8+ doesn't mean I will include it. An album can be good and also be something I don't care to listen to more than a few times.

1.Insomnium - Shadows Of The Dying Sun

2.The Great Old Ones - Tekeli-Li

3.Primordial - Where Greater Men Have Fallen

4.Ne Obliviscaris - Citadel

5.Mastodon - Once More 'Round The Sun
