Sent my ballot in... wow limiting it down to 20 was really tough.
― Frobisher the (Viceroy), Saturday, 29 December 2012 02:59 (4 months ago) Permalink
Having a tough time with my list.. I don't think I even have 20, not that I care, but I can't help to think that my number one is so not what I thought. If I go by what I was most stoked on and most satified with my number one is just weird in comparison to what I find myself listening to on the daily..
― SeanWayne, Sunday, 30 December 2012 04:05 (4 months ago) Permalink
i figured it out.. my number one was very important to me, this year. I was so stoked when it finally came out, I talked about it for months after the fact, and its got good good songs that reminded my why I like em so much. A lot was said about how those songs came about, but it doesn't mateer, they fucking kill, are well played, production that of what you're use to hearing from them, and I got that familiar feeling of, "Oh yeah, these guys can still fucking kill it!"
― SeanWayne, Sunday, 30 December 2012 19:07 (4 months ago) Permalink
I had not realised before that the proper way to vote in the past is to not number your ballot, just put your #1 1st etc. That will help out tabulating.

Should be able to manage a top 25 but unfortunately a few new non-nominated records have shot up in my top 10 lately: Melankoli, Grand Supreme Blood Court, Lustre and Borgne.

I nominated this but it's not on the ballot:
Owl - First Album
The Venomous Maximus album is called Beg Upon The Light, not self-titled.
― Fastnbulbous, Wednesday, 9 January 2013 03:39 (4 months ago) Permalink
I highly recommend those who haven't voted yet to listen to the Owl album before voting.
http://owlbrotherhood.bandcamp.com/album/first-album
Another extremely promising debut from a Bay Area (Oakland) band, Owl consists of three brothers (Clint on drums, Alex vocals, and guitar prodigy Axell who was supposedly only 13 when they first formed in 2009) and bassist Melanie Burkett of Dalton. Their impressive 2010 demo laid out their M.O. right from the start, heavy rock and metal with roots in NWOBHM and 70s proto-metal with some raggedy bits of thrash and prog tossed in. The epic “Glaurung” stretches out to 12:28 on the demo, and is trimmed to 10:29 on the album, with the awesome 13:57 “Thunder In The Sea” taking the spot as the longest jam at the album’s close. I hear Di’Anno-era Iron Maiden in the vocals, and just piles of killer leads, riffs and solos. Remember when great guitar playing was unfashionable in the 90s? Turns out one of the future greats was just bein’ born!

That dude Clint from Owl is a savage of a drummer.. ambidextrous, which is "the extra bone in the foot" for any drummer. He's in a few different bands around Oakland. A lot of folks have been talking about Owl around here, they're out on tour I believe right now.

Attention all: the two Ufomammut albums "Oro: Opus Primer" and "Oro: Opus Alter" were nominated separately so you have to say which one you're voting for. I'm currently treating the votes for undifferentiated "Oro" as two votes, one for each, which has the effect of bumping your #20 off the ballot. If any repentent Oro voters wish to change their ballot, then either ILXmail me or post here.
― Vote in the ILM End of Year Poll! (seandalai), Friday, 11 January 2013 00:25 (4 months ago) Permalink
I totally think those two should count as one entity since they are two halves of the same song, but I'm guessing we've already had this argument fifteen times. Shit, I need to go finish my ballot.
― HAPPY BDAY TOOTS (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 11 January 2013 03:26 (4 months ago) Permalink

I voted, finally. realized I'd only heard about 21 of these albums this year but 2 of them I didn't like. Lots of good stuff nommed, there were two I wish i'd been around to nominate though that would have gotten top 5s from me, but overall good choices.
― NINO CARTER, Friday, 11 January 2013 04:43 (4 months ago) Permalink
I remain unrepentant! Another poll split the points evenly between the Oro albums. But as jon said, it's one song. A damn long one at 90+ min hence the split release, but a vote for one is a vote for both. I'd say combine the votes, but it's yer poll.
