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

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.

If it wasn't nominated you cant vote for it.

Mordy i'm only joking. You know that. J0hn thinks most things in this poll aren't metal (while chuck does)

(I mean, it's not like I'm doing some kind of cutsy subversive thing here where I claim Teena Marie is metal. It's an honest-to-god metal album.)

im not saying its not. It was just a comment about oh sod it

Thanks, didn't realize there was a nomination process. Out of curiosity, why wasn't it nominated? (Doomsday Derelicts, I mean.) Regulars here weren't into it? For my money, it's an excellent EP from the band who made the best metal album of 2008.

I think most people dont nominate ep's apart from chuck. I think generally for metal polls people don't want ep's. The general ilm poll i think welcomes ep's.

But im guessing everyone just forgot about it. Nachtmystium were top 10 in last years poll, so there's no lack of love for them.

That makes sense, thanks for explaining. Anyway, it WOULD be (pretty high-ish) on my list, if it were eligible. As it stands, the list of nominees is very comprehensive (I listen to a lot of metal and I've never heard [or even heard of] many of those records), so I certainly can't complain.

(I listen to a lot of metal and I've never heard [or even heard of] many of those records)

=djmartian

Not sure what that means but I assume it's not a compliment? I was just saying you missed some stuff I would have included (Hypocrisy, Naam also come to mind), but you included way more than I actually heard, so who am I to bitch?

no it means djmartian nominated 200 odd albums noones ever heard of :)

have you voted yet?
