!!!!!!! VOTE HERE for ILX METAL ALBUMS OF 2009 !!!!!!!VOTING CLOSED :( 4 U

Heard 9, another 9 are on my to listen to list. Should be doable in 4 weeks.

ah, okay, i'll risk a vote for nadja and black-boned angel as well. anyone else voting for it?

Yep, it was #16 on my list. Good record, but I ranked the Nadja and Black Boned Angel full-lengths a bit higher.

Thanks to all who have voted so far, got 11 votes atm, so please keep em coming. If you cant list 30 albums remember 10 will do (or anything inbetween)
All ilxors can vote, so please do!

just voted.

have to say, I knew what my #1 was gonna be but I pretty much just hastily threw together the rest of the picks. I didn't listen to much metal released this year...

cheers guys, that's 14 ballots in now. Keep em coming!

Merry Christmas everyone.

Suck it.

thanks for your ballot, jeff

Boxing Day bump.

and again

15 votes!

I need to make edits to my list. Should I just resend it or tell you what I need to change?

I'm not really sure if we can. I guess it would need to be a resend if you did. It's not something I want everyone doing though.

I'll IM you. It's a minor change.

I'm working on mine. It won't be a long one as I've been listening to way more old SST stuff than metal this year (and of the metal I am listening to, I'm mostly catching up on last year).

just email the new list mordy if you must, i email the votes to glenn so it will be easier.

voted

got it, thanks!

Did nobody really nominate The Answer's album? (I thought I did, but maybe not.) What happens if I vote for it anyway?

I didn't hear The Answer before Friday. It's really good, and might have made my ballot if I'd heard it earlier.

Or at least made sure it was nominated.

Just sent my vote

cheers

So what's The Answer answer, already?

sorry chuck but i looked at NOMINATIONS THREAD for ILX METAL ALBUMS Of 2009 (NOMINATIONS CLOSE TODAY!!!!!!) - non rolling metal regulars welcomed to warm themselves by our blackened pyre of statistics, so plz Vom and Note and it wasn't nominated.

We have 19 votes now. So please everyone try and vote. Even if you can only manage a top 10 go for it. All dabblers in metal as welcome as the anti-false metal troo metal brigade (who btw are the ones who usually wont vote)

EVERYONE WELCOME TO VOTE

Also please remember to nominate albums on !~!~!~!~!~BOOM BOOM ALBUMS N TRAX POLL 2009: NOMINATIONS due Dec 31~!~!~!~!~!
so we can be represented on there too.

And please keep the votes coming for the metal poll, thanks to all who have voted.

Also, everyone who hasn't sent in a ballot yet: Listen to the Jamie Saft album and include it on your list. Amazing album.

sorry do you mean gmail when you say googlemail?

and should my email be my username?

its googlemail because all new accounts in the UK have to be googlemail instead of gmail due to some copyright dispute. And i didnt use my own gmail account and created a special one for this.
And you can just post your username in the email along with your ballot.

so is it cool if i email you on my gmail account?

email me from whatever email you use. gmail is fine.
its just that for some silly reason gmail has to be googlemail in the uk. My normal gmail is still gmail as i got it before the courtcase, so anyone getting gmail after that particular date is googlemail in the uk.

so dont worry about it, just email your list

alright cool thanks

sent

Got it thanks. Everyone should receive an automated reply when they vote, assuming i set it up right!

Here are the results of the 2008 Metal Poll if anyone wants a wee reminder from last year.

Anyone interested in providing blurbs to go with albums when we announce the results?

anyone?

Metal speaks for itself.

So you're volunteering?

I think most everything will have been talked about in the Rolling Metal thread. Just steal commentary from there.

nah that's a bit naff.

You would think that on a site full of journos that some would volunteer to write blurbs.

I actually like when polls use previous comments, much more so than blurbs. Ties it all back together as opposed to reading like some sort of pronouncement from on high.

I'd rather some people provided blurbs. If people want to email their previous posts about the albums then I guess it will be ok.

If Jamie Saft places highly I'll be happy to write about why it's the greatest metal album of the year.

and j0hn d will be along to say why its not metal or something ;)

Any particular reason why Nachtmystium's Doomsday Derelicts EP isn't on this list? I'd guess because it's an EP, but so are Jesu and Nadja and others, I'm sure. Just an oversight, then? Can I include it on my list?

seriously, pfunk, listen to the album before commenting again. i seriously don't get why you think it's funny to continually ask if it's metal or not when it's as metal as anything else nominated on the list.

jj can you edit the title saying voting has closed please?

I have no idea of the results so i cant do anything til glenn can do them. He has a family and so will be busy today but i'll start posting results whenever i get them. be patient! I'll be up late tonight so if he is around later then great, if not , tomorrow.

Without Glenn this poll couldn't be done so please thank him.

And thanks to everyone who voted, WE GOT 50 BALLOTS!!!
20 more than last year. I didn't realise we had so many rolling metal lurkers and i recognise a few names from years ago on ilm , so thanks to them for voting and don't be afraid to post on the rolling metal thread or the results thread.

title edited

Thanks.

Anyone else wish to have a go at posting their guess at the top 10? See who was closest.

OK Glenn has emailed me the results overnight!
Want a top 100 this year?

How many ties would that involve?

none

wau

actually theres 5 ties for no 100 but there's no ties as such because 1 album has more actual voters than the others. so i think thats good enough. i only count as a tie if an album has the same points and number of voters and has zero no1 votes. A no1 vote places ahead of number of voters in my system.

Go for it.

ok suggestions for thread title?

!!!!!!!! ILX METAL ALBUMS of 2009 POLL RESULTS!!!!!!

Well that was intuitive.
