I haven't heard much of 2014 but I'll try.

1. Taylor Swift - 1989
Yea I fucking love this.
2. Ne Obliviscaris - Citadel
Has all the good things of Portal of I but is more focused and cohesive. A little overproduced maybe, but still great.
3. Flying Lotus - You're Dead!
I listened to this very late in the year but it immediately got me hooked.
4. Aneta Langerová - Na Radosti
Apparently I only listened to new music in the last 3 months or something. This album was an incredibly pleasant surprise.
5. Antemasque - Antemasque
Very fun rock album, can't beat something as simple as that.
6. Ghost Brigade - IV: One With the Storm
Kept their great signature sounds while progressing with their songwriting. Awesome.
7. Steel Panther - All You Can Eat
Another album that is just pure pleasure to listen to.
8. Behemoth - The Satanist
Nergal is a great dude, really.
9. Architects - Lost Forever // Lost Together
Best album they've ever made. Did not expect that.
10. Elvenking - The Pagan Manifesto
Didn't know where on the list to put them, but had to include them because it's second only to The Winter Wake in their discography and that has to be weighed heavily.


Disappointments of the year: Insomnium, Sonata Arctica, NehruvianDOOM, Devin Townsend
