put very little thought into it tbh. regret not placing ulcerate higher. (only one other person voted for this???)

ive told you guys, campaigning works. Putting that effort in makes a massive difference!

can i just say again big thanks to Glenn for the needle stats. He really is awesome and this poll couldn't be done without him!

You guys definitely win the battle of the stats :)

yeah, as always, much respect to glenn. the stats are really amazing.

They are. Got any particular favourites?

the maps are fun. and, of course, the 'falseness' stats.

I like the compatibility stats; it's proof that there's an outloud hivemind sprouting

I was looking at previous poll results, and there's really an unending supply of stuff I haven't heard, heh. You know what would be cool, is an ongoing master list of albums from all the metal polls. Ranking by just points might be a bit off as different numbers of people voted various years. Maybe percentage of total points?

Okay, maybe super-geeky rather than cool.

you can do it if you like!

wow Hammers of Misfortune won!? the drummer is in my preschool co-op lol, they practice across the hall from us.

Be sure to let him know!

I will! it's funny, at first I just noticed him at parent meetings (ie "hmmm that longhair over there appears to be quite the hesher, must be in a band") and then a vinyl copy of 17th Street showed up at the school auction and I was like AHA

his kid and my kid are friends, which is cute

Wow, that Corrupted album is like beautiful.

I think this is my favourite Mastodon album.

The Hammers of Misfortune isn't on Grooveshark but I've made it through the rest of the top 20 now. I really liked everything except Uncle Acid and Altar of Plagues. Maybe those could grow on me.

i have been playing the shit out of uncle acid, sorry i missed it during the year.

altar of plagues was boring, though. i have yet to really get behind boring arty black metal.

altar of plagues are great. remember the spotify playlist btw

17th Street is a bit too.. Queen for my liking

what are the sludgier, doomier metal releases i should be looking at? Already dig Yob

Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats - Blood Lust
Elder - Dead Roots Rising
Subrosa - No Help for the Mighty Ones

I reckon you'd like those.

big fan of the first 2, definitely

Subrosa next..

Ufomammut, I reckon. Or was Eve in 2010?

rumor that Hammers are gonna need a new drummer soon :(

268. Beastwars - S/T (41 Points, 2 Votes)

heavy riffs, sick bass, nasty yowling, hope their new one hits big.
