5 votes! how many were sund4rs?

I like it (and probably voted for it) but too high!

Shit! There's one of my votes I didn't expect to work out. Feels too high, but good record

65. Sepultura - Beneath The Remains (329, 5 votes)

everything is too high or too low -- this poll is EXTREME!

feels weird seeing albums that hadnt even been out a year when voting took place placing this high

xps

Late but Burzum's another one I can't get into -- having nothing to do with loathsomeness of the artist, I should add -- thus none on my list. When putting together my ballot I'm sure I capriciously bounced around from "historical significance" to "personal favorite" and I guess Burzum lost out when my considerations were swinging to the latter. Again, this was all very unscientific.

yeah, well, its not the most legit of results taken as a real top-__ list. but it is a good list of great albums!
If I had had double the ballots things would be a lot more balanced I think.

and the same top 10?

Probably, tho!

I totally blanked on Monotheist it appears. Not on my list yet it's one of the most massive things I've ever heard. Maybe I was in a loudness war mood because jesus that thing is mastered too loud.

xp it starts really clarifying at the top 20, but between 200 - 50 its just random.

64. Summoning - Stronghold (330, 5 votes)

One of my votes!

Summoning's awesome but in keeping with the random injustices of the poll, they're a band I just haven't sat and listened to over an album's length. Not sure why -- I'm usually all about losing my consciousness in a well constructed alternate reality. Musically speaking.

I haven't listened to them much, but their sigil-logo is one of the best.

I love bands that present you with an album cover that may as well have a YOU ARE HERE arrow on it.

hahaha yeah

Great album!

napalm death got 6 votes!

The Great Cessation is without a doubt my favourite Yob album. The title track is immense.

guys I have a lot of school stuff to do this afternoon/evening so I'm gonna just take it to 51. Saturday is gonna be to the top 20 and we unveil that on Sunday. How does that sound?

also, mega lolz at the next one up...

5 people who only got into metal last year? i like the album but deafheaven do not belong in an all-time poll

especially so high up!

lol that deafheaven record beat roughly 100000 albums that are better

including, most immediately, stronghold

60. Boris - at Last ~Feedbacker~ (39, 5 votes)

michael whelan did that beneath the remains cover. i totally knew him when i was a kid. lived in my town. his wife looked exactly like a frazetta sword & sorcery princess.

ahhhh when Boris used to be great

i still cant believe anyone would think an album only out 6 months at the time of voting aka new bermuda is an all-time great. I feel embarrassed for those voters.

fucking pitchfork readers!

jfc new bermuda

and yeah great Boris pick

if we get Meliora I will

do stuff

59. Absu - Tara (346, 5 votes)

dude there might be another deafheaven?

the best Absu album!

sorry I keep screwing up on the album cover thing, I'm using a template and sometimes I forget to c/p all the fields correctly.

you should be apologising for not vetoing 2015 albums! ;)

ya that would have been a good call.

just vetoing Deafheaven really

tbf you couldnt have expected
A)ppl voting for them in an all-time poll
B) turnout would be low enough to let them place so high
