I would have thought that was the point
guess the order of the top 20 and the closest guess gets the prize

astronoid are basically deafheaven x devin townsend. not sure about the songwriting but the sound is pretty intense

lol I haven't thought of the criteria too hard, probably whoever gets the most slots correct, then accuracy in case of a tiebreaker

surely its gotta be in order as you said guess the top 20
― Cosmic Slop, Sunday, 18 December 2016 00:11 (seven years ago) link
yeah I might have to get fancy cause these lists are mostly pretty damn similar lol

^ xxp That was my guess, if it wasn't obvious.
Astronoid are just some amazing emo afaict

Moon Tooth sound exactly like I'd expect a Tom pick to sound

I remember how excited he was that time I told him to check out Chiodos
― Cosmic Slop, Sunday, 18 December 2016 00:13 (seven years ago) link
moon tooth is some nifty prog-thrash-pop-sludge hyperactivity
― illbient microtonal poetry Surbiton (imago), Sunday, 18 December 2016 00:14 (seven years ago) link
That was Dan who loved Chiodos. Still does.
I'm excited to see people getting behind Moon Tooth, it's really fun. My #1 (spoilers)
― Tom Violence, Sunday, 18 December 2016 00:16 (seven years ago) link
no spoilers! (tho im sure everyone guessed anyway)
there's no difference between you and dan (I think dan may have posted once or twice here like a dozen years ago)

I stick by my description of Astronoid as Mew gone death metal
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Sunday, 18 December 2016 00:18 (seven years ago) link
You've just won sund4r over by saying mew
― Cosmic Slop, Sunday, 18 December 2016 00:19 (seven years ago) link
it was inside my top 10 (more spoilers) xxp
now wondering why i didn't put it in my prediction. oh well
mew is def the vocal approach here. astronoid yet to record anything as monstrously kickass as 'rows' on this evidence but i'm reasonably impressed tbh

I guess its proof that campaigning/boosting really works. Maybe you could get it into the 77 if you campaign on that thread?
― Cosmic Slop, Sunday, 18 December 2016 00:23 (seven years ago) link
Which reminds me seandalai does the tabulation on that poll too so please go nominate lots of metal from this poll and campaign for it. We got uncle acid in the top 10 one yearILM's 2016 End of Year Albums & Tracks Poll / NOMINATIONS THREAD

i'd love to say "no way do deftones not place in the top 20" but i've never successfully predicted a metal poll. psyched to see deafheaven at no. 1

I feel like maybe I should have campaigned for Skuggsjá, it came out early in the year so now I'm worried it'll be forgotten.
― Tom Violence, Sunday, 18 December 2016 00:59 (seven years ago) link
the closest points of comparison i can think of for moon tooth are faith no more and shudder to think. but harder and faster
― who is extremely unqualified to review this pop album (BradNelson), Sunday, 18 December 2016 01:00 (seven years ago) link
"what if shudder to think were a metal band" is a question i didn't know i needed answered
― who is extremely unqualified to review this pop album (BradNelson), Sunday, 18 December 2016 01:05 (seven years ago) link
I didn't forget Skuggsjá! (At least I don't think so...) I've had the song Skuggeslåtten on repeat all year.
― dance band (tangenttangent), Sunday, 18 December 2016 01:06 (seven years ago) link
Haven't got around to listening to the Moon Tooth yet but I am very much interested in the answer to this!
― Gavin, Leeds, Sunday, 18 December 2016 01:13 (seven years ago) link
Oathbreaker sound nothing like deafheaven (listening on Spotify) . Presumably people say this because they are on the same record label?
― Cosmic Slop, Sunday, 18 December 2016 01:14 (seven years ago) link
Just been given the results, not even looked at them yet. Anyone still around? I can post a few to get us started/give you something to listen to

Top 101 like previous years

Low on my list, but it was on there. It lost points for the idiosyncratic spelling.

I thought Blood Ceremony and Abbath would both be higher. I haven't heard either one myself, but I thought there was a lot of talk about them on the rolling metal thread.
