xpost re: Nails: My reaction to seeing that it existed was basically "oh look, more Nails, ok"I actually listened to it the other day, it was pretty good but that Absolute Power record was probably better.

There was a "Most Metal Athlete" award. Some WWE dude won. Honestly it should have been the UFC fighter who comes out to Bolt Thrower.

enjoying the The Body; yet to see whether it'll stick. it's enjoyably twisted but i do wish there was a bit more to the songs. just a bit.

No one had said that so i was wondering if people didnt think that this year. Usually people say the just inside the top 100 is their fave part or theyve discovered loads
― Cosmic Slop, Monday, 19 December 2016 00:13 (nine years ago)
and seriously missing dominique leone saying his entire ballot already placed :D
I'm not really bowled over by much of this, but I do know there's loads of truly killer stuff yet to place, so *shrug*
and there are ALWAYS cool things to discover like howls of ebb. it's always worthwhile going through all these albums

Imago killing zsa zsa clearly the big news of the day though
― Cosmic Slop, Monday, 19 December 2016 00:15 (nine years ago)
the Anicon record is great, glad others voted for it
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Monday, 19 December 2016 00:17 (nine years ago)
I voted for The Body, but listening now and it's way better than I even remembered. And I want that t-shirt!
― dance band (tangenttangent), Monday, 19 December 2016 00:21 (nine years ago)
I've had a lot of things place already so I'm inclined to think it's a great roll-out. Favourite find is probably Eight Bells, but I'll need to dedicate time to get into it.
― dance band (tangenttangent), Monday, 19 December 2016 00:23 (nine years ago)
Their shirts were stupid cheap too, I think 10 bucks CAD each? I also bought one of the Futility and Despair skull/heart shirts xp
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Monday, 19 December 2016 00:24 (nine years ago)
Nails was #14 in my prediction, doh! Like I said, unpredictable. I'd think there would be some gnarly crust punk/post-hard/grindcore option up there. Maybe Trap Them or Zao?
― Fastnbulbous, Monday, 19 December 2016 00:30 (nine years ago)
Nails and/or Wormrot screwed most of us lol
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Monday, 19 December 2016 00:31 (nine years ago)
its that time of the poll where everyone gives up on obscure things placing too as big names start to appear
or is it?
Find out in the next episode of S.O.A.P.

*metal band
Second side of the latest album is amazing space rock. Shame about the boring ass psych pop tunes on the first side.
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 19 December 2016 01:47 (nine years ago)
aw I like the little psych pop tunes! but I do agree that tracks 5-8 >>>>>>>>> 1-4. closing track is just about my most-played thing this year
― illbient microtonal poetry Surbiton (imago), Monday, 19 December 2016 01:56 (nine years ago)
i'm the #1 vote for Woman Is The Earth, for the record!
also voted Anicon way up high
― alpine static, Monday, 19 December 2016 01:58 (nine years ago)
Im gonna have to put Comet Control back on my phone, I guess
― sushi and the banh mis (Drugs A. Money), Monday, 19 December 2016 02:03 (nine years ago)
LJ - The closing tune will be high on my tracks ballot here. It made my Village Voice (nee Pazz & Jop) ballot.
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 19 December 2016 02:04 (nine years ago)
:) high on mine too!
― illbient microtonal poetry Surbiton (imago), Monday, 19 December 2016 02:20 (nine years ago)
Well I think five of mine have appeared so far, including my numbers 2 (Horse Latitudes) and 5 (Howls of Ebb). Void Meditation Cult was my number 20 but probably should've been top 10, I was just cutting and pasting stuff around in a frenzy to get my ballot done.

I wish you had voted in this poll
― Cosmic Slop, Monday, 19 December 2016 08:19 (nine years ago)
I couldn't make my mind about No One Deserves Happiness this year. I mostly liked it but it always felt like something was missing. Ended up not voting for it for this reason.
― Dinsdale, Monday, 19 December 2016 08:30 (nine years ago)
It's good but I bought All the Waters of the Earth... a month after it and have listened to it way more. I felt like No One Deserves Happiness really highlights how boring the guy's vocals are, unfortunately.
― rudy githyanki (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Monday, 19 December 2016 08:54 (nine years ago)
was the Trees of Eternity album nominated? I just heard it and I feel like I would have Top 5'd it.
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Monday, 19 December 2016 09:14 (nine years ago)
If I had voted it would have been a joke. I tried to make a metal list and couldn't get to ten albums. It wasn't where my head was at this year. I'm following along to try and find stuff I might have liked if I was paying attention.

cannot even remotely begin to get with this stuff
― illbient microtonal poetry Surbiton (imago), Monday, 19 December 2016 16:01 (nine years ago)
Gotta try it with a ringing endorsement like that. It's not bad, there's a lot going on though, between the choral vocals and the distorted screaming and the rest. Blackened orchestral grindcore?
― Tom Violence, Monday, 19 December 2016 16:03 (nine years ago)
such a fun album
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Monday, 19 December 2016 16:05 (nine years ago)
I haven't loved every Anaal Nathrakh album, but this one seemed really gripping and powerful to me, maybe as intense as anything since the first couple.
― glenn mcdonald, Monday, 19 December 2016 16:05 (nine years ago)
