Doom Metal Front's
Top 100 Albums 2014
"Himmelhoch jauchzend, zu Tode betrübt.
On top of the world, down in the dumbs."
Auf das vergangene Jahr zurückblickend, verhält es sich in der Musik wie im Leben. Sie ist unglaublich emotional, mal in Hochstimmung, ein anderes Mal tieftraurig und verzweifelt oder wütend. Diese Liste ist nicht aus einer Umfrage heraus entstanden, sondern eine höchst subjektive, persönliche Alben-Zusammenstellung in alphabetischer Reihenfolge.
Looking back onto the past year it's the same in music as in life. Music is unbelievably emotional, sometimes in high spirit, desolate and desperate at another time or angry. This list is no poll, it is a highly subjective, personal compilation of albums in alphabetical order.
