are Metallica really going to do that well? I thought most people were saying it was surprisingly good for Metallica in 2016, but that doesn't read to me like a great album better than most other metal albums of the year.

Metal lists do seem the least predictable. In the last installment of the Metal Sucks podcast, they featured many odd choices, and both agreed on #1 and said it wasn't even close, was Astronoid - Air. Which hasn't been on any other list that I'm aware of.

xp - Yeah, the songwriting is brilliant throughout, complex enough to remain interesting over time, yet catchy & immediate in the manner of all good pop. Plus sharp lyrics, a timely theme (the co-option of the Bay Area by its tech overlords), dazzling musicianship, and tons of energy. Perfect combo of old-school riff worship, pirate-punk swagger, and prog excess. I fucking love Hammers, though, so ymmv.

How could we improve the poll and get more participation?Does anyone feel the poll has gone stale? Lots of people who used to take part dont now.
Would you all be more likely to vote if it was a bit fresher with somebody new running it? I've no problem handing it over if it will help the poll. But will take on board suggestions if people still want me to run it.
What would everyone like to see from the poll?

I found that holding it after xmas we get less as people were burned out by EOY polls by then. But those who complained about that didnt always vote in the earlier poll. But basically we have to run it when it suits seandalai. We cant do it without him and he has to do the big poll too. Plus he doesnt want to be bothering with stuff.
I also find that if big poll nominations happen before voting is finished for metal poll that effects us quite badly. I think holding it earlier makes it more likely to get general ilxors voting, but im not sure about metal thread regs as they like to give december releases a good listen.
