these polls will always be idiosyncratic since the difference between placing and not placing can be 3 votes vs 4
one or two people voting can make a huge difference but I cant force the death metal fans to vote.

There's also a lot of vote splitting there, there's a pretty clear consensus of what the best trad doom/stoner, screamo and drone metal albums are, much less so with DM.

That is probably true because there seems to be so much more death metal around than most of the other subgenres. It's much more established than BM or Doom really in the more mainstream market of metal. I've seen so many people posting on the internet asking what doom metal is , so it's popularity on ilm is peculiar i think. But even then , it only takes 20 people to place something at #2.
If death metal fans such as phil etc aren't voting because they dont like me I'd happily let someone else takeover the EOY poll so they will participate.

Once the shock of the new wore off I realised I might have wanted to like him [Jute Gyte] more than I actually did...Despite owning loads of the CD's I cant help but feel the same wayJute Gyte I appreciate for the out-there-ness, I guess I just wished he rocked more?

Jute Gyte I appreciate for the out-there-ness, I guess I just wished he rocked more?
It's not really about the novelty for me. Although some of the initial draw was intellectual (the microtones, the asymmetric metres, the convoluted forms), the visceral impact is what keeps me listening. It can just feel diseased, eerie, and psychedelic in a unique and intense way. Even the weirdly airless production is part of this. I'll agree that it doesn't rock like Nachtmystium rock; more like the chained-in-the-attic bastard offspring of early Sonic Youth.
