did jeff n glenn not get Turisas (lol) in the top 200?

Fairly average year - I was the only voter for 6 of my 10. Some of them didn't surprise me - I wasn't expecting a huge groundswell of support for Emmure, and obviously Lulu was the metal pervert's vote-getter of choice, so I was out there alone in supporting Morbid Angel. But nobody else liked Amon Amarth's album this year? Or Girl in a Coma's? Those were great, catchy records.

oh wait Yob in the top 200 too. 5 metal albums (i don't count ghost). hipster metal is finally dead. i mean they are hipster picks but still, not a big metallic showing. or maybe its always like that? seemed like more a few years back.

Mr. Ratfucker, can you do a "corny indie fuxxor gtfo" list where you throw out every ballot that has tune-yards, destroyer, bon iver, st vincent or fleet foxest?

The essay about tuneyards' sales (lack of) is interesting. At 47,000 copies sold and 135 votes, that means the voters actually equal about 1/3 of 1 percent of the sales. (Not that many of the voters probably actually bought the thing.)

I like 1, 5, 8 and 10 on Chuck's list. And I'm glad to see he and I weren't the only two to put 2NE1's "I Am The Best" on our singles ballots. (Yes, I filed a singles ballot this year, for the first time ever, and it was all composed of actual singles.)

the Church album isn't bad at all -- "Drink in My Hand" is much better than "Red Solo Cup."

considering the amount of attention it got, managing to get 20 critics on board for the song isn't exactly an overwhelming victory. There were more pieces written about how she was a shitty rapper than there were voters for her in a poll
