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?

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.

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.

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

(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.

Hellbeard hopes to record within the next few months probably an EP.. We've been down a while, one our guitarists had a apretty major surgery in October to repair the affectas of Bursidis, which is tendonitis for the ball and socket parts of your corpes.. They had to do some pretty major repairs to his shoulder, but they didn't go bionic, which we are all bummed about.. lolSo he is just now playing agian, so rehearsals shall commence shortly, hopefully in a few weeks.. We all have a shit ton of new material to sort through..

btw here is something to discuss. This band finished at #131 in this pollhttp://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2012/jan/13/norway-top-music-prizeDont know them at all tbh. Seen the name around but that's it.
http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Music/Pix/pictures/2012/1/13/1326456111600/Taakes-Noregs-Vaapen-007.jpgControversial nomination … Norwegian band Taake have lyrics attacking Muslims
A notoriously "anti-Islamic" band has been nominated for Norway's top metal prize. Taake are one of six nominees for a prestigious Spellemann award, despite a song that declares: "To hell with Muhammad and the Muhammadans!""Norway will soon awaken!" read the lyrics to Orkan (Hurricane), on Taake's album Noregs Vaapen. The Spellemanns are Norway's equivalent of the Brits or the Grammys, and Noregs Vaapen is nominated for best metal album. Elsewhere on Orkan, singer Ørjan Stedjeberg refers to Muslims' "unforgivable customs" and calls for a new "kingdom" to "shine through [the] bad years, shame and Christian times".Despite complaints, Spellemann officials defended the band's nomination. "We enjoy full freedom of expression in Norway and [our] jury is not going to censor content in any way," chairman Marte Thorsb told Aftenposten. But the Norwegian Humanist Association argues the lyrics go too far. Norway is still shaken from last summer's "anti-multiculturalist" attacks by Anders Breivik, which left 69 people dead. "In the aftermath of July 22nd [Taake's lyrics] are completely over the edge," said Didrik Søderlind. "I'd imagine Taake aren't particularly proud of these lyrics after Utøya."Despite lyrics damning Muslims, Taake "do not encourage either violence or racism", Stedjeberg said. "Our view … is that it is shameful to adhere to Christianity or Islam." He also criticised the media for ignoring Taake's (relatively tame) lyrics about Christianity. "Taake has never been a political band," he said.Stedjeberg's comments come less than four years after he painted a swastika on his chest for a Taake concert in Essen, Germany. In the outcry over that event, he again insisted Taake are "not a political Nazi band". "Our whole concept is built on provocation and anything evil- and death-related," he said.The Spellemanns will be awarded on Saturday night.
