Please post here when you vote so we can check it went through.

pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Tuesday, 24 December 2013 23:02 (ten years ago) link

A yearly tradition continues and all is well with the world. Metal Reigns Supreme.

Viceroy, Tuesday, 24 December 2013 23:03 (ten years ago) link

Anyone remotely interested in Funeral Doom, btw, needs to check out that Altaar album.

Viceroy, Tuesday, 24 December 2013 23:15 (ten years ago) link

The album list on this thread is the exact same spelling, formatting, etc. as the spreadsheet, right? So I can copy and paste from that just as easy?

EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 25 December 2013 00:04 (ten years ago) link

And we don't include numbers or anything else. Just the artist & title. Is it descending or ascending order? I can't remember from last year.

EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 25 December 2013 00:05 (ten years ago) link

Put your #1 at the top and work your way down. No numbers.

freemen (on the) space (seandalai), Wednesday, 25 December 2013 00:24 (ten years ago) link

Thanks. I need reminders each year.

EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 25 December 2013 00:42 (ten years ago) link

yeah i copied it from the spreadsheet

Again Stara Rzeka is doubled, with it misspelled the first timr

pfunky boyster (Drugs A. Money), Wednesday, 25 December 2013 08:23 (ten years ago) link

Also I'm having major pangs of regret for not nominating Spider Kitten

pfunky boyster (Drugs A. Money), Wednesday, 25 December 2013 08:24 (ten years ago) link

The Fall Of Every Season is in twice, once as "A Fall Of Every season"

Siegbran, Wednesday, 25 December 2013 12:05 (ten years ago) link

A bumper year for Quebecois "post/atmospheric/folk" black metal by the way: fantastic albums by Gris, Csejthe, Sombres Forêts, Neige Éternelle, Monarque.

Siegbran, Wednesday, 25 December 2013 12:17 (ten years ago) link

i'm really digging the ghost bc album

also feeling like trying to listen to every nom'd album is a fool's errand

Mordy , Thursday, 26 December 2013 01:03 (ten years ago) link

I thought I got my last few nominations in in plenty of time *pouts*

wronger than 100 geir posts (MacDara), Thursday, 26 December 2013 09:44 (ten years ago) link

Listening to the Tracks playlist is quite nice tho, or the album playlist on shuffle.

Siegbran, Thursday, 26 December 2013 11:24 (ten years ago) link

i think only about 3 people subscribed to the tracks playlist since i started it. If people dont vote tracks then siegbrans nsbm graveland track might win the poll lol

pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Thursday, 26 December 2013 12:02 (ten years ago) link

i didn't nominate it for the poll.

Siegbran, Thursday, 26 December 2013 13:12 (ten years ago) link

I personally wasn't interested in nominating individual tracks.. I don't know if others feel the same way...

SeanWayne, Thursday, 26 December 2013 18:06 (ten years ago) link

the SubRosa album is just not grabbing me.. I've tried several times to give it a go and its just not doing anything for me. I saw em live and though thought they were great, but on record its ____ ? i don't know.

SeanWayne, Thursday, 26 December 2013 18:34 (ten years ago) link

I'm a bit puzzled by all the praise too, it's not a bad record in any way and it's pleasant to listen to but there's nothing on it that really stands out.

Siegbran, Thursday, 26 December 2013 20:15 (ten years ago) link

The lyrics stand out. "Affliction" is the strongest anger I've heard all year.

jmm, Thursday, 26 December 2013 20:29 (ten years ago) link

anger/sadness/confusion, I should say

jmm, Thursday, 26 December 2013 20:32 (ten years ago) link

anyone hear the clandestine blaze from this year? meant to listen and nominate but didn't get to it. I like the cover.

original bgm, Thursday, 26 December 2013 21:22 (ten years ago) link

i love the ghost bc album.

there.

i have broken my metal thread cherry.

however, i would never class ghost bc as metal.

Anyone even remotely into death metal needs to listen to the Beyond record. It's streaming here: http://ironboneheadproductions.bandcamp.com/album/beyond-fatal-power-of-death

Rock You like a Hamstercane (J3ff T.), Monday, 30 December 2013 23:43 (ten years ago) link

Iron Bonehead productions?!? that is terrible name.. This will be one of those things where the name of something kills it before I give a chance.. lol!

SeanWayne, Tuesday, 31 December 2013 03:33 (ten years ago) link

That's the label. Who cares what the label's called?

EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 31 December 2013 03:49 (ten years ago) link

i voted

Mordy , Tuesday, 31 December 2013 18:38 (ten years ago) link

I question the judgement of a band that signs to a label with that name.. lol! I'm have kidding, of course

SeanWayne, Tuesday, 31 December 2013 18:46 (ten years ago) link

man no bands are gonna sign to my label "Fart Blast Wreck-hers"

Viceroy, Tuesday, 31 December 2013 23:57 (ten years ago) link

LOL!!!!!!!
Hellbeard is ready to sign! lol

SeanWayne, Wednesday, 1 January 2014 00:25 (ten years ago) link

btw I'm adding more nommed albums to the album playlist so that it is more complete.

Viceroy, Wednesday, 1 January 2014 02:12 (ten years ago) link

Lol yes, can I suggest the Spider Kitten album, Cougar Club? Decent a
doom with atmosphere and some alt rock leanings (and some rad Alice in Chains harmonies)

Quarterpayne McRapp (Drugs A. Money), Wednesday, 1 January 2014 03:54 (ten years ago) link

My Top 10 countdown

Siegbran, Wednesday, 1 January 2014 20:23 (ten years ago) link

Looks like 10 ballots so far.

pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Thursday, 2 January 2014 16:18 (ten years ago) link

only ten? seems low. is that normal?

SeanWayne, Thursday, 2 January 2014 16:30 (ten years ago) link

it's rather low for metal poll, yeah, but hopefully it will flood in once everyones back to work/college.

pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Thursday, 2 January 2014 16:47 (ten years ago) link

When you vote please post here to say so. So I can check it went through ok.

Siegbran, Friday, 3 January 2014 14:39 (ten years ago) link

thanks!

btw guys Campaigning really does work so please go for it. Remember jeff got some dodgy stuff in a few years back just by campaigning!
Siegbran has the right idea.

So discuss any of the albums nominated (or tracks) in here!

pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Friday, 3 January 2014 15:39 (ten years ago) link

original bgm, Friday, 10 January 2014 19:17 (ten years ago) link

that would mean nearly 40 votes in 3/4 days which is quite remarkable. Thanks ilm!

pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Friday, 10 January 2014 19:18 (ten years ago) link

I told you, dude – people are lazy and wait until the last minute. It's human nature.

J3ff T., Friday, 10 January 2014 19:20 (ten years ago) link

usually i start album countdown as soon as i get the results after (vote) closing time. But with this year us trying a tracks poll I dunno whether to do that first or just start albums tonight and start tracks on monday when everyones back to work (it wont be a particularly long rollout.

Also I was going to do it on just the one results thread but seanwayne thinks it would be better on its own thread.

Another thought was leave tracks poll to the last few days of albums rollout and count it down simultaneously with the albums.

so anyone got any thoughts on it?

pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Friday, 10 January 2014 19:23 (ten years ago) link

j3ff might be right. Maybe polls should just have one week of voting in future. People could cram listening in during extended nominations instead.

pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Friday, 10 January 2014 19:24 (ten years ago) link

I guess it depends on how many tracks ballots come in and how long that rollout would be, but it seems like a minor feature of the metal poll and could probably kick off the thread that would house both polls' results.

Johnny Fever, Friday, 10 January 2014 19:25 (ten years ago) link

It may be tomorrow before I can get you the results btw.

Vote in the ILM EOY Poll! (seandalai), Friday, 10 January 2014 19:25 (ten years ago) link

oh and there will be no 150 200 300 etc albums rollout

xp

ahh ok seandalai np!

pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Friday, 10 January 2014 19:26 (ten years ago) link

i think tracks rollout would be around the top 25 mark

pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Friday, 10 January 2014 19:27 (ten years ago) link

I might start with the tracks rollout as jf suggests then whenever i get the results.
Just hope noone minds the tracks results being done over the weekend but if noone objects I will do it.

pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Friday, 10 January 2014 19:37 (ten years ago) link

thinking about doing this thing. no one nommed wrekmeister harmonies, what's up with that?

tench and pike, scaup and snipe (NickB), Friday, 10 January 2014 19:40 (ten years ago) link

go for it. And thanks for the shorter total rollout of tracks.

EZ Snappin, Friday, 10 January 2014 19:40 (ten years ago) link

do it!

pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Friday, 10 January 2014 19:40 (ten years ago) link

tracks poll was always just a wee bit of fun. Hoped that it might attract non-partisans who might be more willing to check out standout tracks, that might then lead to albums being checked out.

Hopefully those who will follow tracks poll will be able to real time comments on the songs and will then hang around for albums.

plus I love it when in previous polls emil.y and others live-blogged thoughts on songs they didnt know.

Plus it can prove to doubters than metal has songs that do stand out. (also got no idea what the top 25 will be like.)

pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Friday, 10 January 2014 19:44 (ten years ago) link

last 3 hours to vote..

djmartian, Friday, 10 January 2014 21:03 (ten years ago) link

Still trying to listen through the tracks spotify playlist. I may have to give up and just submit an albums-only ballot, though I have discovered lots of cool stuff on the playlist (Oranssi Pazuzu and Stara Rzeka come to mind).

haha i forgot there is 2 nick b's. one has voted for years in metal poll but we used to only take email addys not ilx names. So seandalai its 2 different people not a revote.

i think both nicks need to fight it out on dragons holding swords or something.

i am not very metal, i will be the one riding into battle on a duck

important question, can somebody help?

what is my ILE username? is it "Beatrix Kiddo" or "Beatrix Kiddo (Raymond Cummings)"?

preparing to submit my ballot, don't wanna mess this up

Beatrix Kiddo (Raymond Cummings), Friday, 10 January 2014 22:31 (ten years ago) link

Beatrix Kiddo

but it hardly matters as its just so we know a real person is voting ie no socks or lady gaga fanclub

its not just the NSA who knows who you are!

Anyway late voters can make a huge difference not only voting albums into the countdown, or into the top 10 or changing the order of the top 20buy ALSO decide #1. One year j3ffs last min vote changed the top 3.

so with ONE HOUR LEFT TO GO PLEASE VOTE

After asking some friends/ilx lurkers to vote and all of you regular ilxors joining in I think we have 55 album voters. But time for more!
Not had a ballot from doran/phil or chuck yet!

or jjjusten or m@tt

Considering this:

i apologize in advance for not voting in this but no lie, i have not listened to a single new album this year
