!!!!!!!! ILX METAL ALBUMS of 2009 POLL RESULTS!!!!!! (FINAL RESULTS NOW IN! LISTENING TO THESE ALBUMS WILL MAKE YOU STRONGER FRAIL INTERNET PERSON!)

glad you dug it. it's a cool record.

if you haven't heard it yet, blut aus nord is still my top recommendation. and if you have... listen again. ;-)

Of course I know BaN!

o_O

Re Madder Mortem: Eight Ways is where I started, and it sounds the most like itself of their albums, so none of the others are as powerful for me, but they're all worthwhile. The reissue of Deadlands was a good excuse to focus on that one; mostly I've been playing the earlier ones as a unit without really distinguishing between them...

Thanks Glenn. I may delve deeper at some point, but I'm on a Kinks & Fugazi tear at the moment with no letup.

Hey EZ, Baroness 3xLP is shipping. Did you grab one?

Don't you just know it! I got eleven to share with friends and family. And they're all getting Mastodon for Flag Day.

I wondered why they all sold out. But when you say friends and family you actually mean eBay, right?

Actually, I mean people I hate and no longer want for friends.

Why would you no longer want to be friends with people because they have good taste in music?

I think my baroness 3xLP has finally arrived 3 months after pre-ordering it. Just got wakened up by parcelforce at the door.

I just did a catastrophic misreading of your last sentence.

This Baroness 3xLP looks so great.

fuck yeah. love this

I still dont know what Doran thought he read

Did anyone vote for metal albums in the big ILM poll?

Something along the lines of I just got wanked off by a guy from Parcelforce at the door. I had just had a very long and stressful week at work and wasn't paying much attention.

now that's service.

Did anyone vote for metal albums in the big ILM poll?

my ballot for the main poll was more or less identical to the metal poll, give or take four or five albums.

yeah, i voted for five or six metal platters myself. can't say for sure tho as i didn't keep a copy of my ballot. >:(

1/2 my ballot was stuff I voted for here.

I'm of the opinion that a dude from UPS would probably bring you to climax with much greater efficiency and less trouble but it would probably cost more.

You guys are scary sometimes.

\mm/

So scary that it's probably not worth doing a best metal of the 00's poll. I'm not sure there would be enough interest in it due to poll fatigue.

really loving GAY WITCH ABORTION....sooo sick

the really really extra noisy parts are reminding me of someone else but can't think of who they sound like

So scary that it's probably not worth doing a best metal of the 00's poll. I'm not sure there would be enough interest in it due to poll fatigue.

I'd vote!

me too

it would be somewhat difficult to pull off, i'd imagine.

Main ilx albums poll has started.
Yo P&J, I'm really happy for you, Imma let you finish, but ILX had the greatest 2009 poll of all time! All time! (2009 ILX Albums Poll Results)

Baroness in at a lowly 47.

At least it beat fucking Girls at 48, right?

I guess he didn't see it?

High on Fire (despite crap production) vs Burzum for 2010 then?

Mastodon in @ 20 on the big ilx poll

Sunn o))) at 15. So 3 albums from our poll made it. Not very good but 2 in the top 20 was better than expected.

See you all next year?

(ps anyone still checking out albums from this poll? Please post what you think here anytime)

Sorry guys, I forgot to vote in the main ILX poll, so I didn't help represent the metal contingent.

may your goat fail to milk and piss in your face instead

ksh you should check this thread out
