tbf we still have 199, sorry 198 albums to discuss, and they're not ALL going to be stoner doom and nu-thrash thank god
this album is ok iirc, i kind of ignored it after III came out

Ok ok Im sorry. I didnt know you were sick. I figured you got really anxious bcz imago was the only one posting and he was making fun of the long rollout. Its just now theres a bunch of my albums that might as well not have made it
― Drugs A. Money, Sunday, 11 September 2016 20:57 (eight years ago) link
Though I think posting them all at once us a surefire of inhibiting most discussion
― Drugs A. Money, Sunday, 11 September 2016 20:59 (eight years ago) link
:( they did make it though! But with me not feeling well and starting so late the longer rollout wouldnt have finished on friday. I thought it was for the best
― Cosmic Slop, Sunday, 11 September 2016 21:00 (eight years ago) link
I promise longer rollouts in future!
Great last track on that Yob album.

Holy shit, Years Past Matter only made #210? That was my #2! I played the shit out of it while temping that year.

XP: Well Im not trying to bust your chops about being sick. But Im not honna try to force conversation about Valonielu or Tad Times Xpress either.
Glad you dig the Comets on Fire album too, tt
sund4r: I am definitely sooner or later gonna push towards getting into Krallice

Major push, I mean. Totally Krallic-ing out.
― Drugs A. Money, Sunday, 11 September 2016 21:06 (eight years ago) link
i chucked Years Past Matter a load of points. and Valonielu! (altho their new album is better)
― imago, Sunday, 11 September 2016 21:06 (eight years ago) link
yeah Krallice's placement is nuts
― cookware regression (Dinsdale), Sunday, 11 September 2016 21:07 (eight years ago) link
one thing that concerns me is that there was a maximum ballot of 100, but there are albums with less than 100 points with a first place vote. so how many points does first place get?
― imago, Sunday, 11 September 2016 21:07 (eight years ago) link
Unweighted ballot?
― cookware regression (Dinsdale), Sunday, 11 September 2016 21:08 (eight years ago) link
seandalai would need to answer that
but most likely an unweighted ballot
xp
― Cosmic Slop, Sunday, 11 September 2016 21:09 (eight years ago) link
Which one, Kayo Dot?
Unweighted shouldnt have a #1
― Drugs A. Money, Sunday, 11 September 2016 21:09 (eight years ago) link

Happened with Blut Aus Nord: 95 points but a #1 vote. Are #1 votes on mixed ballots (or ballots with <100 albums) counted for less than #1 votes on unmixed ballots?

^ a very underrated album
Is this Ghost album as infectiously nice as last year's poll-winner?
I'm not as fond of Infestissumam as the other two albums, but it's grown on me some now that it's been followed up by something stronger and it's not under the pressure of being the most recent album. Ghuleh/Zombie Queen and Monstrance Clock are highlights.
― jmm, Sunday, 11 September 2016 22:21 (eight years ago) link
Monstrance Clock is easily the best song Ghost ever made but the album isn't as good as the other 2 but its still a good album, just not great like the other 2.
― Cosmic Slop, Sunday, 11 September 2016 22:24 (eight years ago) link
It does lack the meatier sound of Meliora, but the songs are great.
― Siegbran, Sunday, 11 September 2016 22:25 (eight years ago) link

Monstrance Clock starts out like House Of Fun, which the closing track on Meliora does as well :D

These are my favourites of the albums that have placed so far, a bit disappointed about some of them but there we are. But I got into that Morbus Chron album mostly cos of ILM hype at the time so that is a little bit surprising I suppose. I though Paracletus was more well-loved too.
