Last year we got 36 ballots. This year we have 16 so far.
Could everyone look at the nominations and vote for albums they liked please?

How many ballots did you have last year?
I was hoping that me finally getting my shit together in time to vote might portend a higher turnout.

That Vassafor album rules--geniunely satanic-sounding early-black thrash with Portal-adjacent Antipodean cavernousness that's the one telltale sign that it wasn't made in 1988; nice infinite-riff-medleying going on, as well as creepy vocals that lend it that aforementioned actually scary feel (would have had it on my ballot if I was more on-the-ball about it): https://ironboneheadproductions.bandcamp.com/album/vassafor-to-the-death
Yikes, I'm only one of 16 who has voted so far? Damn! (Eternal damnation, that is!)

I think voting will still be open until morning UK time when seandalai gets up.
So if you plan to leave it as late as that then please say so here so he knows
― Oor Neechy, Friday, 5 March 2021 19:19 (three years ago) link

Voted.

Aargh, I really want to get my ballot in but haven’t managed to put it together yet. I’ll submit one tomorrow morning UK time if the voting hasn’t closed by then.

Please do! I think it should be fine.
― pomenitul, Friday, 5 March 2021 20:23 (three years ago) link
As long as the voting form is live you can vote. Seandalai might post in here once its closed. I'll ask him.
― Oor Neechy, Friday, 5 March 2021 22:46 (three years ago) link

Did Neanderthal submit his ballot yet? If not, I think we should wait for him.

I just cast mine. Been a slow year for metal for me. Hope I'm not too late.

I enjoyed the nostalgiafest of Coming 2 America as well. But not sure it was more important than voting.
― Oor Neechy, Saturday, 6 March 2021 14:58 (three years ago) link
aha, no. I have a new job brewing! maybe! I'll happily tell you all about it in a few months if all goes well.

Just checked and the voting form is still open. Seandalai messaged me saying he will have results tonight, so if anyone cares to vote then best post here now alerting seandalai before he closes it.
― Oor Neechy, Saturday, 6 March 2021 18:22 (three years ago) link

If last year's pop general ILM poll is anything to go by, it'll be a duel between Hum and Oranssi Pazuzu.
― pomenitul, Saturday, 6 March 2021 22:00 (three years ago) link
previous winners of this poll have not got near the big pop poll however
― Oor Neechy, Saturday, 6 March 2021 22:01 (three years ago) link
deafheaven do better in that poll than this one, lol
plus voters are weirdly purist and say they wont vote for things like Hum as its not metal, despite the fact this isn't an exclusively metal poll.
Plus Zombi tend to make it every album hehe
― Oor Neechy, Saturday, 6 March 2021 22:02 (three years ago) link
I liked the Hum but not enough to vote for it because I'm not 100% sold on those noncommittal vox. But I'm getting ahead of myself here.
― pomenitul, Saturday, 6 March 2021 22:03 (three years ago) link
i dont even know if it will just be diehard metallers voting this year or those who dabble (potential Hum voters) and are into all kinds of music.
Personally I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't that high but who knows.
― Oor Neechy, Saturday, 6 March 2021 22:10 (three years ago) link
I did however vote for it.
Voting is closed, results are in.
― Bignefs Proportionable (seandalai), Sunday, 7 March 2021 01:15 (three years ago) link
Thank you seandalai!
And I do believe we have enough for a 101.
How many ballots did we get?
― Oor Neechy, Sunday, 7 March 2021 09:51 (three years ago) link
Why would anyone vote for Hum in a metal poll unless they are trolling? Even the people who are into all kinds of music know they're not metal. Nobody would look for their records in the metal section of their local record shop.
