I honestly haven't heard most of these, but if you compare to my top 10 list I have 2 on the first list (Riot and Unisonic) and none on the second.

 

[Mardoch]

In general I'm seeing a depressing lack of love for Skyharbor's Guiding Lights. Monster album that's definitely on my short list of 2014 bests.

That one would make my list but then again my tastes are so different from most on this site...

That's why I don't bother posting a top 10...

After reading through the Rate Your Music FAQ, I’m fairly impressed with how they calculate their totals. Still, I’m surprised a band like Ne Obliviscaris receives as much love as they do.
