Not that I really care about this magazine, though, not being British. To be honest, I'm only familiar with it because of Kerr's rants and that part in "Get in the Ring" where Axl rags on them.

It's not quite as abysmal as when they named Biffy Clyro their 2007 album of the year.

And you honestly never read it in your teens?I gave up on kerrang only a few years ago. I cant resist the xmas specials though. This year is the worst though.

So no one fancies running an ilx metal albums of the year thing?
― Pfunkboy Formerly Known As... (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 19 December 2008 17:54 (fifteen years ago) link
Running? No. Contributing to? Yes.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Friday, 19 December 2008 17:55 (fifteen years ago) link
I still havent heard back from musically how she runs hers. I know most of the rolling metal posters would write blurbs to go with each album, but it's the actual compiling of it that concerns me as i dont have office on my comp any more. Im pretty sure musically uses excel.
I'd have a go if noone else wants to but im not sure id be able to do it.
Plus is there enough demand? there's no point if there's only gonna be 10-15 people voting.

tho the mars volta will probably runaway with it

How I hate The Mars Volta. I'm sure their ability to play instruments might be beyond my comprehension but if they can't use that to make a tune it's just pointless for me.
― elgolfo, Wednesday, 24 December 2008 21:35 (fifteen years ago) link
im surprised at the mars volta hate when theres worse bands on that list tbh

roxy did you vote metallica?
― Pfunkboy Formerly Known As... (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 26 December 2008 00:07 (fifteen years ago) link
nice to see metallica and that 'death magnetic' fraud in number one spot, though i'm sure the slipknot and mars volta records are pretty horrid. seems to be a pretty dire list on the whole, with only the enslaved, meshuggah and amon amarth jumping out at me as truly worthy contenders for the year

of course i did, i've been calling that album a piece of shit since it first emerged as a piece of shit

You called it right. You should be editor of Kerrang.

wouldnt edit the byline of that p.o.s.
― rox qua rox (roxymuzak), Saturday, 27 December 2008 00:16 (fifteen years ago) link
I can't help but wonder if the people that voted for the Meshuggah album didn't understand the poll. No way is that WORSE than many of these albums.
