I am extremely fail, I like metal and listen to a fair bit of it but have heard none of those!
I think I'll use this list to check stuff out, Racebannon first I think, noisey punky Locustesque stuff on Southern if I remember correctly?

Well that's the idea. If you don't know the albums then check them out since some ilxors liked them enough to bother voting for them.
That's the Racebannon, except they were on Secretly Canadian for most of the time.

Any chance of getting # of votes/points for each? I'm assuming most of these were only picked by one voter?
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 19 January 2009 00:21 (fifteen years ago) link
it received 50 votes. It's actually a tie with the next entry (but im still awaiting a blurb for that from someone)

How many points does a no 1 ranked album get? and a number 2 and so forth?
― Women can be captains too, you know? (jim), Monday, 19 January 2009 00:32 (fifteen years ago) link
A no1 ranked album received 25 points. No 2 received 24 points. and so on.
― Pfunkboy Formerly Known As... (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 19 January 2009 00:34 (fifteen years ago) link
Assuming the math is correct, everything higher than 90th place (and maybe a couple spots below that) had to be named by more than one voter. (I know that, because my #1 finished 94th, and I also voted for #90, which means it had to have received at least one other vote from somebody else to beat my #1.)
I am happy to learn, also, that I wasn't the only person to vote for Helrunar, Ayreon, Dornenreich, or Girlschool (all of which also beat my #1.)
So how did you guys break ties?
― xhuxk, Monday, 19 January 2009 00:37 (fifteen years ago) link
For 100-51 we didn't. Alphabetical order I'm afraid. Didn't have enough time for that and didn't think anyone would care for the smaller ranked albums.For 50-1 any ties will just see a joint placing UNLESS it received a no1 vote(s). The album with most no1 votes gets preference.

The people who make this music are absolutely KRAZY in the best way possible. This is Haunted House music in the extreme, with a lot of ghosts attached. I think it's fantastic and I can't think of a single thing to compare it to. These people are so tuned into THE GOTH that they are literally ON THE OTHER SIDE OF IT. Very scary 3 AM music. Play at your own risk. --- Bimble

Graveyard and In This Moment, tied on 27 points, are the last multi-voter albums before the one-voter albums start. There are a few 2-voter albums below that, but the lowest-ranked 3-voter album is Trees, which is actually in a tie for 97th.

Xhuxk I also voted for Helrunar, Dornenreich, and Ayreon. Didn't hear Girlschool though.
― Dimension 5ive, Monday, 19 January 2009 02:08 (fifteen years ago) link
I won't post any stats from which you could guess the winners yet, but I think it's safe to mention that I have a ranking of the 30 voters by centricity, and Xhuxk is last.
― glenn mcdonald, Monday, 19 January 2009 04:41 (fifteen years ago) link
Of the 190 albums that got at least one vote, 79 of them got only one vote. 38 more got only 2 votes, and 20 more got only 3.
15 of the 30 voters filled up all 25 slots, 15 didn't. There were 8 voters who didn't have anything for which they were the only voter. 6 more voters had only 1 album nobody else voted for, and 8 more had only 2. At the other extreme, one voter (i.e. Xhuxk) had 15 of 25 albums that nobody else mentioned, and another voter had 13.

― Pfunkboy Formerly Known As... (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 19 January 2009 19:29 (fifteen years ago) link
My comment is that Uroboros (Dir En Grey) is the only record I own that GF absolutely cannot abide, a record that makes her question my ability to differentiate between "interesting" oddity and intolerable bullshit. This is by no means a defense of Dir En Grey. I feel the same way, that it represents the point at which contenderizer and "any semblance of good taste" finally part ways (not that they were ever really on good terms in the first place).
This is the Trans-Siberian Orchestra of heavy metal. Crazy technical death-prog + Patton-esque vocal gymnastics + boatloads of toxic arena pomp = pyramid of horrors. But I love it. The wacky goblin shit makes me laugh, and helps the maudlin emo crooner gak go down smooth, and the production is like a mad doctor's lab in an old horror flick, every sound a neat little trick of some sort or another. It's been ages since I had a real guilty pleasure, a record I was truly embarassed by my affection for, but if I've ever had one, this is it.

i dont have any blurbs for the top 50 as of yet, but i will say a few things - the Zebulon Pike record is a pretty astonishing accomplishment, heavy, droning at times and speedy at others, meticulously arranged and rehearsed. looooong long instrumental songs, but completely captivating. (point of disclosure - the new bass player is a good friend of mine, but this really isn't nepotism, it is a crushingly original great record).
My other nod has to go to Belphegor who just plain deliver the goods without any really out there attempts at anything, but they do it so well that you cant fault anything about it. big mean ugly brutal metal, and although i didnt give it my number one spot, it might be the album i listened to more than any other this year.

Before TORCHE were recording their masterpiece of an album, Meanderthal, they were completely unorganized and quickly trying to scramble for material to put the album together. This recording, engineered by Torche's own Jonathan Nunez, documents the band pre-Meanderthal showcasing seven rougher, rawer, heavier and slightly different versions of tracks later recorded at God City with Kurt Ballou. An essential for any serious Torche fan... and the unserious ones too."2nd pressing: Limited to 400 copies.Track Listing: 1. Triumph Of Venus 2. Grenades 3. Pirhana 4. Speed Of The Nail 5. Sandstorm 6. Healer 7. Across The Shields
Track Listing:
1. Triumph Of Venus 2. Grenades 3. Pirhana 4. Speed Of The Nail 5. Sandstorm 6. Healer 7. Across The Shields
fyi, the robotic empire store had that torche demos cs for five bucks a few weeks ago. I guess it was the original pressing? ordered mine there but it still hasn't come yet so I can't say for sure.
imo, eight bucks is a little pricey for what this. plus, hydrahead charges ripoff prices for shipping!
― original bgm, Saturday, 11 July 2009 17:52 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah I want to get this (and the Wold tape on the same label actually) but the price is making me halt. If someone gets it in the UK (tho the person I was banking said prolly not) it'll be four quid tops most likely

― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 11 July 2009 18:07 (fifteen years ago) link
i would bet the tape would be £8 min in the UK.
On a vaguely related note, got the new Southern Lord reissue of Thou's 'Tyrant' LP - I say related cos it was £8.50 from the distro I grabbed it from and £16 at my local indie emporium (tho I felt like I was telling teacher when I mentioned this to dude). Thou don't get enough props on here
― At War With False Nose (DJ Mencap), Saturday, 11 July 2009 18:09 (fifteen years ago) link

LJ is no more though :(
Went with Minnie Riperton instead. Metal can wait, I'm only young.

When should we open nominations for the 2009 poll?

Not much longer to go in the year, are there any big releases to come?

There's a new Mudvayne album three days before Christmas. That's about all I know about.

I suspect that that isn't going to get a ton of votes.

I was thinking about starting the voting on jan 1st. So how long do you want for a nominations process?

A couple weeks should suffice. Maybe start nominations around December 15 or so?
