btw quick poll so please give your answersdo you want this poll to finish on thursday so friday can be spent discussing the results and all the stats?or do you want it to finish on friday?
― Jimmy Riddle Orchestra (Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker), Monday, 16 January 2012 20:19 (twelve years ago) link
True 9 votes is not bad at all actually. I'm actually more surprised with the low placement of Woods of Desolation, given the whole post-BM hype and all, WITTR, Krallice, Drudkh etc.

No preference, whatever's best/easiest for you

who on ilx are all the big sludge fans? i feel like most of it is totally off my radar
― Mordy, Monday, 16 January 2012 20:54 (twelve years ago) link
Man, a good chunk of my list has been burned off already. That Machine Head record was in my top five, it's fantastic but I understand why it placed so low on this particular poll.
Meanwhile, I don't understand why ASR is sidetracking his own thread into conversation about a secondhand account of an article that he knows is idiotic?

btw where is j3ff?

maybe machine head and others would have done better if people had campaigned for them and persuaded everyone to listen to them.

Decent list so far. I really like 90% of that Machine Head record, but that goddamn kiddie's chorus kills all momentum dead.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Monday, 16 January 2012 21:23 (twelve years ago) link
I like that part, I think it adds a nice contrast to the blunt brutality of the rest of the song.

Whoops, I sent in the top 50 I did for MSN in early December and forgot to stick in Vektor. Best thrash album of 2011 right there, it grew on me in a big way over the last month.

Thanks for voting though! (same to all of you)

Need to check out some of these; all I've done so far is listen to the one Pharaoh Overlord album that's on Spotify (from 2005) and been appropriately impressed.
While you're all waiting for part 2 of the countdown tomorrow, why not put together your ballot for the big ILM poll? The more metal-inclined voters we get, the more metal-inclined the results will be and the more enjoyment you'll get from exposing other ILXors to e.g. your favourite grindcore band. The voting thread is here and the ballot form is here.

Windham and Vektor look fun. I look forward to hearing 'em. A pretty high average quality for 125-101, nice start.
― Fastnbulbous, Monday, 16 January 2012 22:50 (twelve years ago) link
yeah I think it's a pretty good list so far. Yeah there's albums i don't know but they seem to be pretty highly rated in their sub-genres.Surprised with the within temptation placing. Goth metal has never had any traction round here outside of like 2 posters. It's a concept album, right? Maybe that's what attracted votes? To anyone who has heard it (or any of the albums in the list, its never too late to chime in even if they were posted ages ago) want to tell us more?
― Jimmy Riddle Orchestra (Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker), Monday, 16 January 2012 23:08 (twelve years ago) link
I've heard it and it's ok. Just played it again today, didn't notice it was a concept album apart from maybe some silly spoken word parts. I don't hear much "gothic" metal in it tbh, it's basically a Kelly Clarkson pop/rock album with a little bit of 80s AOR thrown in (I'm hearing bits of Heart, Bon Jovi). I realise I'm not selling this album very well.
― Siegbran, Monday, 16 January 2012 23:17 (twelve years ago) link
^^^ Within Temptation, that is.
― Siegbran, Monday, 16 January 2012 23:18 (twelve years ago) link
Ahh, so the description way above about it looking like an album for 12 year old girls is accurate then?
― Jimmy Riddle Orchestra (Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker), Monday, 16 January 2012 23:23 (twelve years ago) link
Or for boomers who don't hear "music like this made anymore".
― Siegbran, Monday, 16 January 2012 23:26 (twelve years ago) link
bound to do well in the P&J poll then..
― Jimmy Riddle Orchestra (Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker), Monday, 16 January 2012 23:32 (twelve years ago) link
It's like music from alternative chart-rock universe, where grunge and nu-metal never happened
― Siegbran, Monday, 16 January 2012 23:34 (twelve years ago) link
(a parallel universe)
you mean Holland?

Wonder if any non metal folks have stuck around to listen to anything. Though I realise the albums at the top end of the poll will be of more interest, I'd still like to see their comments if they did check anything out. If you have and didn't like anything then dont give up! The poll is varied.
― Jimmy Riddle Orchestra (Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker), Tuesday, 17 January 2012 00:17 (twelve years ago) link
I didn't listen to anything because I'm non metal and just assume most of this stuff sounds like ass. I'm just checking in to see if LULU has shown up yet.
― blood jessica shirt (some dude), Tuesday, 17 January 2012 00:23 (twelve years ago) link
judging by siegbran/mordys posts you should give Within Temptation a try
― Jimmy Riddle Orchestra (Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker), Tuesday, 17 January 2012 00:30 (twelve years ago) link
we have a loose definition of metal btw
― Jimmy Riddle Orchestra (Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker), Tuesday, 17 January 2012 00:33 (twelve years ago) link
and its a broad broad church full of sub-genres of sub-genres of sub-genres. So to dismiss it as 'ass' is silly. Even though I assume you were joking.

Interested in what lesser known albums people want to place tomorrow (or highly rated albums they want to crash n burn).Not many predicting what will go top 10. Go on stick your neck out !
