Glad to see Haken so near the top. Amazing work, Andy. I had 2 picks in the top 10.

Super surprised and stoked to see Chrome Hoof did so well, I thought that one flew under most peoples radars, given that it's not even in the top 100 of 2013 chart on the home page.

Great work, Andy!
Not surprised to see SW at the top. Sigur Rós, on the other hand, I'm delighted, as well as surprised, to see up there. Didn't think it would get enough votes. Had 4/10 on my top 10 list. Damn, I'm mainstream!

I only had 1 out of 10, and it was the Kayo Dot album.
Does that make me the resident hipster?  |

I squandered my opportunity to vote in this years poll.
 I just have a hard time making decisions! Though the one thing I definitely regret is not voting Vultress - Distance as my album of the year. It didn't even get a single vote.  In any case, I own 7 of the top 10, though not all of them would have made my own personal top ten. Probably just SW, Haken and maybe Guapo. I just listened to the Chrome Hoof track. Good stuff! I added it to my 'want list'. I would have bought Hubardo, had it a CD release! And I may get the B&B at some point as well. So that takes care of the top 10.  Great job, Andy! |

As much as I like this year's new releases, some of my favorite additions come from previous years -
Caridacs - Sing To God Tea Club - the whole f**king catalog (three albums) The Staves - Dead & Born & Grown Maseratu - IV Edited by Slartibartfast - February 01 2014 at 14:15 |

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Glad to see Kayo Dot, Guapo and Motorpsycho so far up, those are some damn good albums
edit: oh, and Cult of Luna, miRthkon, Gorguts. Vaura and Jean Louis should be higher though  Edited by Triceratopsoil - February 01 2014 at 15:43 |

Didn't like new Kayo Dot or Guapo, but I'm glad they're getting some attention. Kveikur is a good'un, though.
I've heard Chrome Hoof's name mentioned by friends of mine, but I never listened to them. CBG sounds groovy and worth checking out. |

Good to see Guapo, Sigur Ros, Chrome Hoof & Mirthkon well up the charts and the continued Avant renaissance is well represented. Nice chart if the top 5 is a big predictable.

Too bad Psicomagia were so late to the party. I think they would appeal to a lot of folks who went for the more experimental releases. Think Soft Machine goes Krautrock and you're not that far off.

Thanks for putting this together Andy. I'm thrilled to see Hibernal at #28, thanks to the collaborators and everyone else who has given me great support at Progarchives. This site has played a huge part in getting my music heard and I greatly appreciate it.

Some nice surprises in their, 'specially Birds & Buildings making the top 10. Don't care to see Spock's or Riverside in the top ten (being they were both big disappointments for my ears) but not surprised. Wilson's was a good one, so no complaints about his rather easy victory this time out.
Also not surprised that I didn't get one in the top 10 again.

Just a head's up: the Riverside album is called Shrine of New Generation Slaves, not Songs of New Generation Slaves.....
