yeah, a lot of was on Live in Leipzig, but for some reason, that record comes off a lot closer to the first wave influences, and scummy Hellhammer kind of vibe than DMDS, which seems a bit more monolithic to me

omg I forgot about that Pat Boone album and the whole debacle.

In a grand twist, I'm listening to Atheist - Unquestionable Presence instead. Fuck me it's amazing.
― odysseus (imago), Wednesday, 24 February 2016 19:10 (eight years ago) link
Atheist is great!
― Frobisher, Wednesday, 24 February 2016 19:12 (eight years ago) link
Pantheist is better tho. lol

Slayer vs Metallica vs Atheist vs At The Gates for #1. but we all know what it is
― The Call Of Cthulow (Cosmic Slop), Wednesday, 24 February 2016 19:17 (eight years ago) link
it's weird I always rated hvis over filosofem
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Wednesday, 24 February 2016 19:17 (eight years ago) link
I've never been able to get into Filosofem but Transilvanian Hunger is a favourite, even though the lyrical content is probably more noxious. Apparently, some kinds of lo-fi shambling click better than others?

What's everyone's guess for the #1?
― Frobisher, Wednesday, 24 February 2016 19:19 (eight years ago) link
It's Reign in Blood.
― Hi! I'm twice-coloured! (Sund4r), Wednesday, 24 February 2016 19:19 (eight years ago) link
oted for this Burzum, tho surprised to see it at #2. It is a great record tho, I think I actually listen to the 23 minute track more than any other on it
TH is probably my 4th or 5th favorite Darkthrone, but it's still great. Kind of like how Sgt Pepper is my 4th or 5th favorite Beatles

tbh I like Filosofem a lot, too bad it was made by a racist cannibal.

Is there any interest in a Lifetime of ILM aka 2000-2015 Metal poll?
― The Call Of Cthulow (Cosmic Slop), Wednesday, 24 February 2016 19:20 (eight years ago) link
Heh, the lyrical content of Filosofem is probably the tamest of all the 200 records in this countdown.

Too lo....wait a minute!
― Siegbran, Wednesday, 24 February 2016 19:22 (eight years ago) link
xp CS I would participate in that poll. Perhaps you should set it at 2000 to present tho, make it a "best metal of the 21st century so far" poll?
― Frobisher, Wednesday, 24 February 2016 19:23 (eight years ago) link
yeah I'd also be interested in that, it would bring up some interesting results. Apart from Ghost winning again, of course

xps lol you already said 2000. somehow I misread 2005-2015. nm

ok i'll start nominations tonight BUT it will go on for a long time as will voting until someone can help out with the tabulation
but people love to study for these things anyway
― Cosmic Slop, Wednesday, 24 February 2016 19:26 (eight years ago) link
awesome poll frobisher. well done to you and seandalai!
― Cosmic Slop, Wednesday, 24 February 2016 19:27 (eight years ago) link
called it! anyway *clap clap clap* this has been thoroughly enjoyable and educational, thanks for running an EXTREMELY good poll Frobisher
― Dominique, Wednesday, 24 February 2016 19:27 (eight years ago) link
Great thanks for the admin/rollout!
― Siegbran, Wednesday, 24 February 2016 19:27 (eight years ago) link
Wow, big jump in points there. Nothing else came close.
― jmm, Wednesday, 24 February 2016 19:28 (eight years ago) link
Dont think we can really complain about it winning. its pretty much everyones entry point and it still holds up. RTL is still my fave thrash album tho
― Cosmic Slop, Wednesday, 24 February 2016 19:29 (eight years ago) link
Thanks so much guys, it's been a lot of fun. Lots of things I still need to dig into/spend more time with.
― space prophet wogan (ultros ultros-ghali), Wednesday, 24 February 2016 19:30 (eight years ago) link
Can't argue with that. Great work Frobisher!
― Gavin, Leeds, Wednesday, 24 February 2016 19:30 (eight years ago) link
Thanks for the poll! It has helped me to clarify what metal I really like. Turns out I like some of the old stuff more than I thought I would!
― odysseus (imago), Wednesday, 24 February 2016 19:30 (eight years ago) link
Good news folks seandalai can do the tabulating for the poll so later tonight i'll set up a nominations thread that will last about a month so plenty of time for everything to be nominated. and time for people to start listening to the albums in prep for voting(which I'll allow a month for too)
but first we must all discuss this EXTREMEly great poll and post our ballots after frobisher posts the FULL RESULTS
― Cosmic Slop, Wednesday, 24 February 2016 19:31 (eight years ago) link
Thanks everyone for participating and hanging in there! I hope you all had fun, and found some new albums to listen to... that's the whole point, imo.Thanks for the co-running CS, and thanks to Seandalai for the tabulation.
― Frobisher, Wednesday, 24 February 2016 19:32 (eight years ago) link
Huh, Filosofem is sounding good now. That's annoying.
― Hi! I'm twice-coloured! (Sund4r), Wednesday, 24 February 2016 19:32 (eight years ago) link
a total of 559 albums got votes, the big list will be posted soon.
― Frobisher, Wednesday, 24 February 2016 19:33 (eight years ago) link
i would love to nominate stuff that nobody would ever vote for in a 2000-2015 poll. just for fun. like Virus West. cuz i listen to that album a lot. lack of Nagelfar in THIS poll shameful.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 24 February 2016 19:34 (eight years ago) link
eh, i didnt co-run. i just posted a few times because the emperor penguin was ill
― Cosmic Slop, Wednesday, 24 February 2016 19:34 (eight years ago) link
scott i can promise you there is a virus album i'll be voting for!
i do wish you and others would nominate and make lists though. yours and others knowledge is invaluable and would make for a great even poll imo.
― Cosmic Slop, Wednesday, 24 February 2016 19:36 (eight years ago) link
This has been amazing - thank you so much Frobisher and CS! My metal knowledge is hugely lacking in parts, so it's been pretty revelatory.
― tangenttangent, Wednesday, 24 February 2016 19:36 (eight years ago) link
should I start a new thread for that? where people can post their ballots?
― Frobisher, Wednesday, 24 February 2016 19:40 (eight years ago) link
lack of Nagelfar in THIS poll shameful.Nagelfar or Naglfar?
― Siegbran, Wednesday, 24 February 2016 19:43 (eight years ago) link
both!
