Top 5 Metal Records for RSD 4/18/15

I was struggling with long lists. Top 100 records of 2014 and such. Too long a list. Really, what is the difference from #18 and #41? On what basis. So I have decided that High Fidelity had it right. Top 5 in whatever category. That fits the internet, modern attention span and gets right to the point.

TOP 5
