2012 NON-ELITIST ILM METAL POLL VOTING THREAD (Closes Jan 11th 2013 11:59pm Britishes Time)

I voted!

Looks like Mgmt added it, thanks. I voted.

no, its always been there.

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.

24 hours left to vote

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.

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.

I just voted for them both. No big deal.

Just a bit of fun, let's be cool

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.

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.

voted!

Well, it's NEW MANAGEMENT's poll, I just count things. I don't mind either way.

how many ballots are we up to now? Really looking forward to this run-down...

42

good stuff.

Instant voter's remorse.

Closing tonight!

Yeah yeah, I'll vote today.

U have til, like, 3pm or something

Ok nm its 6pm

In truth, it's until I get back from the pub. Could be midnight, could be later.

It closes at midnight no exceptions. I don't have as many rules as AG did but there is no excuse for missing the deadline.

I feel bad that my #1 is something I've only recently acquired that I've listened to way less than the others as a result, but it is one of those things where I recognized very quickly it's heads and tails above the rest.

Doesn't matter, don't think I'll be voting anyway.

Jon, whatever else going on around here doesn't involve the metal crowd. I hope you'll participate.

No, its that I've had a bunch of things pop up at work that need my attention, so I won't be able to get my ballot in by the end of my work day, which will be after the hard deadlone.

deadline

That's fair then. Still hope you can sneak a vote in.

Voted!

There's about 5 records that I would've included had I nominated them, but as I'm the only one likely to vote for them anyway it doesn't really matter.

(Lustre, Borgne, Grand Supreme Blood Court, Melankoli, Eis)

maybe i'll toss something together but it won't at all feel accurate.

Another last minute ballot submitted - that was fun. Looking forward to the results - thanks a lot 'New Management' for the efforts ...

A pleasure. Last few hours to vote now y'all.

Is the convention that results can start tonight or do we wait until monday?

your call IMO

i'm not a regular this year so I won't offer a suggestion but I'm secretly hoping it starts tonight cuz if it starts on Monday at work I'll have a lot of catchup to do

OK If results are turned around quickly we can start tonight.

what's the run-down starting from? 50?

i'm so excited!

me too!

well i gathered most wanted a smaller countdown of about 20 to maintain suspense

okay cool

But will do a top 50 if its possible

can't wait for the write-in Lividity vote to surprise everyone when it steals #1

yeah was going to say a hot 40 would be good xp

I'm going to close now unless anyone wants to make a last-minute intercession...

I think everyone knows I'd like a Top 100 that takes a week to roll out but I will compromise for Top 40.

Ok, we're closed. Sorry jon /via/ chi.
