xhuxx can always withdraw his nomination but someone else will probably just nominate it.

I'll leave it up to you guys. It won't make my Top 20 anyway, so whatever you decide is fine. But I'm not sure why placing in two separate years would be a problem, if it got released in two different places and people therefore heard it for the first time in both years. (That's happened numerous times in Pazz & Jop, where literal release dates haven't even been a mandate since 1979 or 1980.)

Fair enough, just trying to ascertain what the new rules are.
― Bound by Habitrails (J3ff T.), Wednesday, 19 December 2012 01:55 (eleven years ago) link
Trying to keep rules to a minimum really. Voting will sort out any issues and I strongly believe the previous system of vetoes led to too many problems.

guys, "New Management" has bravely stepped up to create the kind of "Metal" poll that everybody on the "Who Wants a Metal Poll" voted for except the people who voted for "No Metal Poll" wanted so you should probably cut "him" some slack and just enjoy the "Metal" poll that all you "Metal" fans want to vote for

xp - Hear hear! I'm not gonna complain, metal is pretty much the only genre I pay attention to these days so the main EOY poll is not really something I get very excited about (but I do vote in it). I'd much rather have a metal poll that isn't exactly how I'd run it than have none at all.

I just got the Deiphago album I ordered from the States. I haven't listened to loads of metal this year, so I fidn voting in a poll like this a bit difficult... Can I vote for just one/two things pls?

1 album minimum, so go ahead.

I plan on voting, but maybe just for 10 albums, which are the 10 I listened to and liked, not like TOP TEN OF A ZILLION or w/eNot even sure if I have 10? Either way, the ones I liked I liked a lot.

Anyone have full lists for Revolver or Terrorizer? Any other metal publications? Does Hit Parader still exist? Was there a Spin metal list?

I've found out deftones won Revolver Album of 2012 but not seen the list of top 20 albums. Can someone try and post list here before friday night?
― ILM METAL POLL 2012 (New Management), Wednesday, 19 December 2012 20:12 (eleven years ago) link
This is highly unorthodox but Algerian Goalie msged me and while he is apparently on an ILM posting quarantine he wants to nominate some albums. If nomination-by-proxy is allowed, his list is as follows:
Drudkh - Eternal Turn of the WheelBehold... the Arctopus - Horrorscension Colour Haze - She SaidMy Sleeping Karma - SomaDawnbringer - Into The Lair Of The Sun GodCauldron - Tomorrow's Lost Furze - Psych Minus Space Control OM - Adviatic SongsRaventale - Transcendence
I suppose if you think this is me trying to sneak in more nominations of my own (although AFAIK I have 5 left), some third party can back me up... AG if you're lurking plz let someone else know so they can confirm.
Thanks!

Tell him that's fine and he has more nominations left if he wants to add them and I am glad he is participating.

Thank you I will add most of it that's not already nominated but which of these aren't metal/heavy rock/alt-metal and shouldn't be in the nominations list? Amanda Palmer obviously. How Scott Walker? unlikely to have guitar riffs I'd imagine. Mono and Gybe are as guitar heavy as anything on Kerrang list so that's fine especially as no-one has to vote for them if they feel it shouldn't count.
― ILM METAL POLL 2012 (New Management), Thursday, 20 December 2012 00:31 (eleven years ago) link
Remember this is a non-elitist poll compared to previous polls. Lets be more open-minded and unafraid of less hip more mainstream albums.
― ILM METAL POLL 2012 (New Management), Thursday, 20 December 2012 00:34 (eleven years ago) link
What about pop-punk? Green Day and other bands like them were on the Kerrang! list and made it into the nominations spreadsheet... where do we stand on that?
― Frobisher the (Viceroy), Thursday, 20 December 2012 00:53 (eleven years ago) link
Liars, black bananas and hexvessel aren't metal. The new mono is basically a neoclassical CD, although I don't really care if you include it or not. It's not so much a matter of being elitist or mainstream, more a matter of having things on the list that just don't fit the genre.
― Bound by Habitrails (J3ff T.), Thursday, 20 December 2012 00:56 (eleven years ago) link
And it isn't a matter of serious voters voting for those albums, and more that if there are things that trolls can vote for to screw up the poll, they will vote for them.

I got the Deiphago album through the post finally. Came as a rather splendid picture disc with brilliant artwork, an iron-on patch and a CD. Music sounds like someone yelling "SATAAAAAAAAAN" while throwing cutlery down the stairs.
― besides Sunny Real Estate (dog latin), Thursday, 20 December 2012 09:14 (eleven years ago) link
Looking at previous polls now and they got between 80-90 ballots ,with the relaxation of rules this time I anticipate getting nearer 100. That would mean, along with shortening the roll-out from 125 ,trolls would be wasting their time plus trolls have never been a problem in any ILM 'email' Poll before. Any obvious troll ballots could be easily discounted as on the voting form they have to provide their ilx name.

Shall we open up extra nominations now? Please don't add hundreds of albums from Rate Your Metal just for the sake of it and instead add albums that have not been mentioned that you would vote for or think are important albums that shouldn't be left out.
